No different than Mr. Ingraham's vendettas.
But, to point, Politicians the world over have crossed lines and broken rules in the name of
"necessary action" or essential Government purpose/expediency, but most often it is done for their own reasons, concealing special interests/personal dealing or personal wrong doing, but the rule of law once breached is rarely if ever re-instated.
History is replete with examples.
History is also full of private citizens who do nothing but grumble.
Naked abuse of power and personal enrichment, ours are no different.

While foreign wealth is leaving, Bahamian wealth is returning, to dismal returns,
but the TIEA's signed have opened up the very closed box called "expatriated wealth"
Income tax is coming, and TIEA's allow the ground work to be done.
Real property tax is coming, and it will include foreign land holdings.
Nowhere left to hide it all........
Which is also why the ministerial/civil service corruption has expanded locally,
a case of grab it while you can, cause the imf,oecd, wto and the rest will soon be
in total audit control.

The "causeway" better go from EMR proper, past the Brewery and come down by Bellevue
otherwise it'll be a causeway from Lake to Lake!
If it blocks the flow of water at all EMR and Queens Highway is gonna get more flooding.
Meanwhile I understand Dr.Darville pharmacy selling furniture "VAT Free"
How does that work?
Government is spending money in Grand Bahama to snag the Port on the Cost covering aspect of the H.C.A. seeing as they couldn't prove their expenditures in years past!

Even the Web Shop operators aren't stupid enough to put their receipts into BOB!
While Electronic, they are cash based, as are 90% of the population!
Again, while paid electronically in many cases, they withdraw 99% on payday and roll out!
They save nothing, therefore borrow from each other, A-sue and Credit unions rule.
I recently went into a Web Shop for the first time ever, not to buy numbers but to send money to someone. His choice of method, I was in and out within 3 minutes, and he had his $$ instantly.
The commercial banks can't do that! It'll take you an hour, and the funds arrive the next day!
IF they process it that night!
Dude, you got a serious disconnect going on........

They will get it Messenger, and good, because there is nothing that will cause them to see the light.
Any light.
When there is no one left to pay dues to these parasites, they will melt into the shadows
bemoaning the good old days when they could pitch fits and "bargain" for the assets of others.
with no risk to themselves, but always with much for their members to lose.

Regular licensees aught to be paying attention here,
as the outcome will affect them all.
No one will pay both license fees and Government Business license tax.
Which do you think will bite the dust if both are due?

Captain aught to be held accountable, ain't just the ship he is responsible for!
A good outcome that raises questions that need answers!

So you know who they are? Did you beg sufficiently? Grovel enough?
promise everything beyond your pathetic pervue?
sell out everything you could think of that is still left worth something?
A disgrace, a total and utter disgrace which history will judge most harshly.

Just one more Move towards collapse, look at any other countries path to self destruction.
All the little pieces that add up to and collectively cause devaluation, rampant crime, capital exodus, almost identical in every case.
It is a well worn path seldom studied and avoided.
I have seen many leave, both foreigner and Bahamian alike.
shaking their heads at the unfathomable that passes for acceptable and business as usual, particularly and almost exclusively from Government.
For 40 years Bahamians have ben sold a bill of unsellable goods, in the name of "sovereignty" and "Majority rule", Independence and empowerment, and worst of all by their own.
Save for a few political families, everyone is poorer, with less opportunity, a dismal future.
The Jonny Come lately's currently running things into the ground are just outright pillaging as there is little left, and little time to finish it off!
No pretense left, just grab, sell, skim.
Maybe next will be legislated success! Will be illegal to fail!
That aught to guarantee things right?
The penalty of course will be summary execution, as opposed to the summary conviction now commonly (and unlawfully) enacted.

It is done, and those not yet done with it are bailing out.
It is going to get a lot worse, with no guarantee it will ever get better.
For the record, I'm an optimist!
I only hope that those responsible who have enriched themselves are one day brought to justice, no matter which country they have re-joined their pilfered money in!
