I have see people buy $15 crack conch for lunch. I think they can afford an apple for $1 , a banana for $.70 , an orange for $1.29, tuna salad made at home and a handful of nuts . All under $10. People do not want to eat salads , fruits and vegetables.
So tax cigars, cigarettes and all alcoholic drinks . Tax all sodas and fountain drinks, encourage exercising. Let us get moving. Lower or remove tax on healthful foods. The sugar factory and IHOP was a bad idea. They both encourage the wrong diet decisions for an already obese society. The nation will face high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks and diabetes all at early ages . By the time the people reach 40 years of age , they will all be debilitated and cannot work. Let us not talk about crime and murder that wipes out the youth. We need to get a grip on this. We will not be able to afford healthcare.
And there is nothing you can do about it. Our population is what it is, you can only squeeze so much taxes. Harbour Island, for example, iOS 85% owned by international investors. If a foreign investor tells you she will give you 2 million for a 50by 50, will you not take it? You then squander the millions and now your children want to buy a piece of property to build a house. To their surprise, they have no purchasing power, and the beat goes on. The poor are being driven out because of gentrification. Just a thought.
Is this article from 2001? It sounds like it, and they never learn…. We can take this article apart. She did not have good advice , from the beginning. Age 33, part time job, no children with this guy… wow.
Well we certainly are spending what we do not have because every year some organization tells us to either increase a tax or create a new one. What the hell is this? Are we all about taxes? Why are we incurring all these taxes and potential increases. Damn , where is that tree , again? This is ridiculous!!!!!
Carlos’ collective responsibility means he doesn’t have a clue on how to solve these gang related crimes. He, moncur, and the former commissioner were brought in by the ppl to beat this gang violence. They must all be fired, they have failed their mission.
All men and women have shamed someone in the past. It isn’t relegated to only politicians. Pastors , priests and other religious leaders have done things that have brought shame to their profession and family members. Boyd, really, … get a life.
