The blacks wanted power in order to become exactly like the white man in power. Thankfully they treated the white Bahamian better than the white politicians treated the black Bahamians. Unfortunately we still don't like the thought of having a white man as PM - even though most white Bahamians would never consider getting into politics for various reasons.
Without the great Sir Lynden our economy would be similar to Barbados and Jamaica. Thankfully drug running and money laundering were allowed to flourish and all walks of life benefited from the easy money. I am not joking. Sir Lynden was bold and we all prospered. Of course some serious problems also arose but I think they would have happened anyway with a poor economy. Mr. Ingraham did his best to keep the economy on track while the whole world was trying to shut us down. He did a decent job. After him we have had nothing but failures in leadership. Benefiting from Political and government positions became top priority and government turned into a complete sham where less that 10% of revenue actually benefited the people at large.
Do you have anything to say about the VAT on medical? I know that you are more than capable to give an opinion on this topic - I would like to hear it.
I for one don't miss the tar balls on the beaches in my younger days. They didn't come from oil wells (that I know of) but I imagine we would see tar balls again if we allowed offshore drilling.
Birdie and Tal - please let me know what you think about the new VAT on medical insurance and procedures. Is this something that you both are happy with?
