Now this VAT is my pet peeve ............... it did not improve our tax regime, it just added more burden to the bottom two thirds of the population .............. we need to either collect what preVAT taxes we had without fear or favor OR put in place a simple 3-tier income tax structure (eliminating those making less than $20,000 per annum.
But it doesn't matter how much VAT is collected if corruption, graft, bad debts, public utility subsidies and mismanagement of the public finances continue (as it is right now)
But why is Orthland Bodie all over MORE FM talk show bad mouthing Perry and his loyalists in favour of Brave??????? ......... and he says he is a PLP???? ........ that's political cannibalism
OR is this a true sign that Perry is going to step down as Prime Minister in November????????
We don't elect a Prime Minister ............ one is picked for us by the majority party in the House of Assembly .................. some democracy .......... whatever happened to the idea of the "right man for the job" ......... the PLP should not have chosen Perry Christie then ......... they should have chosen Glenys Hanna Martin .......................her pedigree is the best of that bunch.
The Bahamian fallacy is that the leader chosen by the party that wins is automatically chosen as the leader of the country .......... being a politician and being a statesman is like night and day
question: Does Barack Obama run the Democrat Party???????? .................... Ans. NO.

Bahamasair should become our flag carrier and bring stopover tourists to our country ......... the domestic market should be privatized with subsidies to the least travelled routes (like the mailboat model) ............. but this present model is not the economic way to go
But we know that Bahamasair, ZNS, BEC and BTC have been there to reward PLP party supporters ............. Eleuthera people would be disappointed if we privatized Bahamasair

Fitzgerald's record on the oil spill cover-up is the same as in education .............. a farce
The watering down of the public education system and the deadweight technocrats in Education is proof of his failure as a minister of education
Didn't he just chair an international conference on education reform????????????
