Or better yet, help all those poor peole in HIS consituency get proper homes!

Is that a bible under her arm? Probably some religious fanatic.

I question how accurate this information is. Most smart business people and parliamentarians put their properties into companies, the beneficial owner of which would not necessariy be reflected on the actual real property tax assessment. You would have to do some major digging to find out who owns the company first before you can say the individual did not pay the tax assessment.

"Mr Wilson, meanwhile, suggested that the economic benefits from legalising web shop gaming would spread beyond just the Government’s fiscal position.

#He suggested that a legitimate industry would be able to deposit its considerable earnings within the Bahamian commercial banking system, vastly expanding the capital pool available to fund productive investment projects."

This from a man who was so set against legalising gambling having recounted his experience with the hobby horse race track and the harm it did to the Bahamian family. The opponents are falling one by one.

You know what I find so interesting about all this? The solution to solving the nation's debt is right in front of us. We do not need to implement VAT or decriminalise web shops. The amount of revenue that the Government needs to raise is out there in uncollected revenue just on real property taxes. All this time wasted in debating VAT and legalising gambling could have been better spent on simply finding a way to collect the outstanding taxes. The country's debt could have been solved long ago. Unfortunately we are being leg by a bunch of headless no-brain chickens. A bunch of "educated" men who cannot come up with a simple plan to collect the taxes that would take us out of this hole they've dug us into.

Fa real! My "NO" vote had nothing to do with any church. So I guess I was NOT in the majority and deluded too, aye????? Chal pleez!!

MOST??????????????????????

This country is on its way to hell in a handbasket. It will take an Act of God to have these idiots removed! May God arise and his enemies be scattered!

You cannot say anything against Mr. Mitchell without a response! As soon as I read Dr. Munroe's comments, I just KNEW he would respond.

Frankly I agree with Dr. Munroe. Mr. Mitchell has an agenda and I am glad to see a Man of God has called him out on it. His time is obviously limited to push the agenda (as you can see from the number of gray hairs in his head) and as he is currently somewhere at the top in Government a blind man can see the agenda is now coming to the surface. Mr. Mitchell just needs to get on with it and come out of the closet!!

"The Super Value owner said the food retail/wholesale industry had received “nothing” from the Government in response to its concerns about recovering only a small portion of VAT ‘input’ tax payments, so the sector would “have to raise prices to compensate."

And so he has! Two weeks ago milk in Super Value was $6.39. It's now $6.89. Yogurt was $3.99. It's now $4.39... and the list goes on. Is anyone paying attention! The business owners are not waiting for VAT. They bringing VAT to the consumer!
