... 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!!
... if he really wants national development he should stop engaging in a business that economically rapes the citizens of this country! Teach people to stop having children they can't afford and to save, plan and invest! Further, a nation without a moral compass is adrift at sea, just look around this once great country!
... we don't need a "new" national ID card. Government can mandate that a drivers license, NIB card, passport or voters card can be used in various combinations and that will solve the problem. More waste in the name of modernization.
... its always interesting when people pursue money for these kinds of cases instead of criminal charges. Bastian should be the one to pay (by being behind bars) not the Bahamian taxpayers, again!
