we have a big spend government in a country with limitrd resources.. what ese do you expect but aggressuve tax collection and mob style tactics to let you know what to expect if your paperwork is wrong.

Socrates says...

This case is only major news because it involves a US citizen. the americans go around the world as they do because most times they dont trust ocal authorities. they even go so far as to kidnap leaders of countries like noreiga a few years back. so its the way it is.

Socrates says...

why are we so afraid of privately owned business? you pay your Bill and that's it. state ownership means you pay the Bill and pay tax to prop it up. look at bahamasair for example.. millions a year and you still pay Hugh ticket prices, so you pay twice.

Socrates says...

this is crazy. govt owns loss making bahamasair and onstead of buying tickets you buy a whole plane? there is no way operatimg a plane is cheaper than commercial.

Socrates says...

how embarrassing.. the regulator giving licenses to people who don't know the rules and pilots can't pass an exam unless you give them the answers first. what next?

Socrates says...

respectfully, it would make far more sense to leave things as is but every traffic stop, have officers require to see insurance and DL like elsewhere. what happens to the gap of the other 6 months? it's more a bandaid solution.

Socrates says...

Another bad decision that didn’t have to be made. The Bahamas more and more is taking a direction inconsistent with its traditional Allies. This decision is at odds with the constitution which says we are a Christian nation. How can we then recognize a group who among other things want to destroy a nation that’s central to the Christian religion? Our reporters need to do a better job of keeping us informed about what our people are supporting at the UN. We spend a lot of public money at that place and know very little about what we are doing there.

Socrates says...

it speaks volumes about the state of the bahamian society when not one, but two of the people's representatives are facing serious charges in court. aren't these folks supposed to be of good character and an example for the nation? i know they are innocent until priven otherwise, but the mere fact that the evidence justify brinhing chsrges sats a lot.

Socrates says...

If the same people who put BPL in this mess in the first place will still own it, how does splitting it up change anything? Their decisions and directives (GoB have it where it is now, another failed socialist experiment.

Isn’t it ironic that a country that boasts about being a leader in offshore banking can’t provide adequate facilities for its own citizens and residents?
