The simple answer is to heavily tax inherited wealth with Estate taxes. This will not happen as wealthy politicians who determine such legislation do not want people to know how wealthy they end up being and certainly do not want to pay any taxes to the government on that accumulated wealth that they bequest to their children.

It would be interesting to discover how much of this 16%, if any, was derived from direct government expenditure, also known as Out tax dollars being spent? This question comes after understanding that the prime minister who is the member of the house of assembly for this, his own, constituency, has approved large amounts of government funds to be spent on a very large new airport and road paving projects on the island. This may well be totally unrelated to the increase in GDP . As usual we will never be allowed to know the truth.

"Lying in state" seems like it might be the correct epitaph for many cabinet ministers who served in the corruption smeared Christie Administration. But , hey, let's ask Sarkis what he thinks, 'cos I might well be wrong?

Hoped or Hyped? Perhaps Betrayed, swindled, and Hung out to dry, would be a fairer description, yes?

Was our worst pm this pm Perry?
Scandals so big even he could not bury.
Corrupt super cronies and gambling money.
Recognition and power much sweeter than honey.
The only pm to actually lose his seat,
Leading his party to disgrace and defeat.
US court reporting holds his feet to the Fyre,
That Exuma foolishness was never the outlier,
Sad to see the caliber of the members in the house,
And the greedy little acts for which become famous.
Sigh...

Continuing Financial sustainability,
And MP’s upward fiscal mobility,
As Important in words as the former may be,
The latter is; :Baby, it’s all for me”.
5K a month from a predator ExPat,
Can turn help turn a poor member into a Fat Cat.
Sigh.....

Why didn't Carlos or Rodney stop this happening" Is that not why they are earning long dollars from our taxpayers money?

Why would a twin engine plane being trying to land in an Out Island that does not have runway lights in the pre-dawn hours? An emergency landing? Something else? Was not Ragged Island and it's policeperson just put ubder investigation a few months back?

Fiving a thousand year old Native Lucayan remains to the Bahamian government is like telling your potcake puppy to guard a piece of fried chicken.

Most people should surely know that the shotspotter technology is a scam bought into by the corruption smeared Christie administration, possibly for kickbacks and bribes to the necessary government workers, elected or appointed. It is beyond belief that none of the dozens of people who witnessed this shooting that not one of the would have informed the police. There is are necessity to defend stupid past decisions by the authorities, or so it would seem.
