... low voter turnout is because people realize that the FNM is no better than the PLP! The lies they tell may be different, but the end result for voters is the same! Successive governments have overseen rising prices of land and homes because of wealthy foreigners in the market. We have also had uncontrolled illegal immigration affecting the cost of labor making it harder for some Bahamians to make a decent wage. Couple that with oppressive taxes on the shrinking middle class and rising inflation and inbred corruption and you have a recipe for disaster. The truth is neither party has a real vision for the future of this country and neither party can see beyond the next general election! They are all a bunch of visionless losers!
... the history books would be different were it not for Columbus. These attempts to sanitize history while overlooking the abuses blacks committed against other blacks in the slave trade and the present day, is only one way politicians still try to use race to divide people while they put their hands in the cookie jar!
Many seem to forget that to discover means to become aware of something that one did not know before. So yes, in a sense Columbus discovered these islands, even though they were already inhabited, but it is also true that the Arawaks discovered that the world was bigger and more dangerous than just having the Caribs as enemies!
... whenever the taxpayers have to foot the bill for public "servants" abuses of position and authority, that employee should either be fired or have deductions from their salaries and pensions to cover the amount paid out. It's ridiculous that people like this guy and Normal Bastian can behave like cavemen and taxpayers end up paying the bill!
... the simple reality is that the government said they were collecting VAT for one reason and one reason only, to pay down the national debt. The fact that they used the money for other things and did not apply **all** of it to the debt was simply wrong and maybe you should just try to admit that fact instead of deflecting! Here it is we are still paying VAT with no idea how much is going for the purpose that was originally intended. That is just wrong!
... and people like this man are a reason why I refuse to give my hard earned money to healthy young men with two arms and legs who think you should just **give** them what you worked for!
... endlessly patching potholes is a great business for those who benefit from patching potholes. Why not ask the question about the quality of the materials being used to pave some of these roads, because the amount of potholes on JFK and the airport road are minimal compared to other parts of Nassau. And why do they keep digging up roads and poorly patch them?? Road paving seems to be another racket!!
...with the exception of a few, the quality of people our country is now producing are substandard in every way! This is a natural consequence of the boom in single parent homes where values, self restraint and respect for self and others are no longer taught! The result is a largely feral population, driven by base desires and a lack of emotional intelligence!
... it also allows people to pay into NIB for an extra five years. That's what this is all about, a way to keep the fund solvent after years of treating it like a piggy bank!!
