Take the NIB money what if any is left and divide it up proportionally by what people thusfar have paid in and then shut the whole damn thing down. People pay and companies pay and when your sick you might get your pay for missing work a year later after you done starved to death and lost your house because of no income. Just another tax so the government can employ people.
The WTO is a treaty on trade with other countries that has no expiration or end date. Once you agree to what terms you join that is it. No do overs. No oh we made a mistake. No oh there is this new part of our economy we need to protect for national interests. Did the FNM as a major part of their election campaign/manifesto talk about joining the WTO? NO! Did the PLP ever as a major part of their election campaign/manifesto talk about joining the WTO? NO!
No party since independence has run an election and won with joining the WTO presented as a major policy decision they want to implement.
Without a referendum or winning a election with joining the WTO as a major plank of their campaign no 4-5 year government has the mandate to enter us into a treaty that has no expiration date that another elected government can not get us out of.
This goes against democracy and the ability to change ones destiny via the ballot box every 5 years
No talk about diversifying and growing the economy can be taken seriously with businesses license in it's current sick form. We need corporate income tax with tax breaks/incentives given for capital investments and new employees.
Carnival dumping sewage where they want, numbers people not paying their taxes and still operating, Haitians building houses where they want. Illegal mining, dumping, Dominicans raping our waters, and god only knows what else is happening that is more pressing and this is their focus? Who would have ever thought the Bahamas would be importing hemp goods from the United States LOL LOL!!!!!!
