Agreed Bruce! So far this government is not impressive AT ALL! I can only assume that the big hotels in Nassau (which are both struggling) are behind the pressure to implement such a stupid tax. Air BnB is a great, independent business owner creator for The Bahamas and now this government wants to hurt it!
I agree as well. We need to put a closed season on conch as well. Speaking of conch salad, we will soon just call is 'salad' as one has to now hunt for the few pieces of conch (now a lot of booby as well).
Our political parties seem only to ever have 'a few good men'. Unfortunately, rarely is one of those 'good men' in the leadership position. What we desperately need is a party with 'many good men'. Then, and only then, will our beautiful country start to pull itself out of the quick sand we find ourselves in (currently we are up to our nostrils). We are almost out of time.
We have a sufficient amount of legal immigration - we certainly don't need any illegal immigrants! Get all illegal immigrants out and then once we see what our unemployment figures truly are, across all sectors of our economy, than we can look to either increase or decrease the amount of legal immigrants. The migration of people will always be present in every country. We just need to be tolerant to legal migration and intolerant to illegal migration.
