I have to disagree with you on this. You just don't jump up and say cut VAT without any analysis whatsoever.
The fact is the government will lose revenue. Where will they make that revenue from? Raise taxes elsewhere? That is the only way they can make up the shortfall. Additional taxes.
Davis only made the vat speech on the campaign trail for political purposes. He just was looking for votes.
However, time will tell whether Smith or Davis is correct. Hopefully it won't be to the detriment of the Bahamas.
I give right where right is due. I tip my hat to Alfred Sears, as he did the right thing in recusing himself. Munroe on the other hand? Well he showed the type of integrity he has.
This report needs to be thrown in the trash. How could you be engaged to do and investigation and you only speak to one set of parties concerned? This clearly makes the investigators and the report seemingly biased.
Anything I see Bodie's name attached to, I do not waste my time reading, as like the now OPM press secretary, Bodie has no objectivity, and it clear they talking for something. They really do a disservice to real journalism
Amazing how people change their talk when they seeming have the seat of power. If the office was so not needed when she criticized it when it was formed, why is she doing it?
People who lack integrity are never good to be in positions of power. For me she has lost all credibility.
