Balderdash, gibberish, and steaming horse manure! The Government needs to aim to "ease the pain of staying in business"!
The new accounting requirements for a business license are stupid, cumbersome, and overwhelming for small businesses. How the hell can government suddenly expect already struggling small businesses to provide:
1) A copy of your sales report, Excel log sheet or quick books, POS report for Jan - Dec 17' 2) Bank Statement or P/N ( Profit & Lost ) OR Trial Balance 3) Value Added Tax report for 2017 ending December 31st. 4) Total Cash report 5) Accrued Base report
Is this the "streamlining" "ease of doing business" & "customer-centric approach" they are referring to??
Great news Mr. D'Aguilar. This situation has gone on far too long and the country has needlessly lost untold millions.
The PLP "landmark" airspace deal was wondrous to them because it was one of the very few things they achieved in 5 years of dancing and prancing about the place like mindless idiots!
110% concurrence with Rockson Adofo sentiments! Many thanks for presenting a well written, truthful article! I knew I couldn't have been the only individual in a "developing shithole" that realized the truth.
I doubt Brave Davis will find it of any interest, him being one of the corrupt political pirates that the article refers to.
Corruption and government manipulation is king in the Bahamas, and far too many countries, causing suffering and displacement of masses of people. The "UBP class" is alive and thriving in their descendants and inheritors of illicit mining activities!
No public servant other than corrupt prime ministers could conspire to allow economic pirates to steal the peoples' natural resources birthright.
Symonette, Pindling, Ingraham, and Christie are guilty of treason against the state and people of the Bahamas.
Had Sir Randol Fawkes taken his rightful place as prime minister when he had the opportunity to decide the government of the Bahamas, we would have had a much better country today!
Philip “Brave” Davis is a blithering idiot! The Bahamas is part of the caricom community which already issued a statement regarding Donald Trump. Nothing more needs to be said by individual states.
Secondly, Donald Trump referred to Haiti as a "shithole", and he is absolutely correct in saying so! Haiti **IS** an indisputable "shithole" which explains why Haitians willingly risk their lives in shoddy boats to come to the Bahamas and U.S.! How could anyone be up in arms because Mr. Trump made a TRUE statement?
Everyone conveniently ignores the fact that Haiti's biggest problem is the corruption of the "mulatto class" that controls successive governments similar to the "UBP class" in the Bahamas that controlled successive PLP and FNM governments!
Haiti, the Bahamas, Africa and other "shithole" countries need to forget the war on drugs and pursue a war on the 1% of economic pirates in these countries that extort and stranglehold governments to the detriment of the masses.
Donald Trump and corporate America elites could care less about the Caribbean Community (caricom) and the African Union. They have relinquished power to govern themselves to WTO and can bleat like goats until the sun rises in the west!
The Caribbean is blessed with a temperate climate and the ability to feed ourselves, are the owners of the most sort after cruise and vacation destinations in the region. Africa is by far the richest continent on the planet, so why are both regions so dependent on foreign aid and in such a mess?
Why haven't caricom come together with one voice to raise the region away from dependence on America and the EU? Why has caricom allowed corporate conglomerates to take tourism away from them with unregulated mega cruise ships that erode stay over visitors to the detriment of local hotel & resort businesses? Why haven't caricom implemented inter-Caribbean and Latin American trade to keep hard currencies in the region and uplift our people?
How is it that Africa with all its gold, oil, diamonds, precious metals and minerals is mainly a basket case of failed states?
Similarly, how is it that the Bahamas with vast reserves of oil and aragonite, our people are marginalized, uneducated, thousands are unemployed and going to bed hungry while only a small handful enjoy the riches of the country?
Both regions are riddled with corruption at the expense of the people that seek shelter in the United States!
Donald Trump is simply crass enough to speak his mind whereas the others maintain "political correctness", however, the results are the same. No respect for countries that sell out their own people!
Don't blame Donald Trump for calling corrupt shithole countries the shitholes that they are. They are far from paradise for 95% of the populations.
caricom and the African Union need to look at the "man in the mirror" and follow Saudi Arabia's lead in rooting out corruption to raise their countries and people from "shithole" status!

Get it right. Fred Smith and Louby Georges are NOT half-breeds. According to the Haitian constitution, there is no such thing as half-breed Haitians.
Anyone with ANY Haitian lineage qualifies for Haitian citizenship so Smith and Georges are 100% Haitian regardless.
Donald Trump has it right. Anyone that entered the U.S. illegally no matter how long ago is still illegal and must be deported.
Brent Symonette "regularizing policy" for illegals just because they evaded immigration for decades is an insult to our intelligence!
