We need to build proper housing and get the people living in Shanty Towns into them. Also we need to turn on the lights and running water for all Bahamians so we can keep ourselves clean.
Also we will be drilling for oil which will makes lots of money and diversify the economy. And don't forget stem cell research which will start up a whole new biotechnology industry. Wow...that's 3 new industries if you include numbers.
Hopefully the revenue collection from VAT and gaming taxes will reduce the national debt and pay off for some of the administrations project cost overruns.
VAT, in essence, will make 4,500 businesses revenue collection agents for the government. I think all of these companies will be honest and pay over to the government the revenue they collect.
We should expect a big windfall of taxes from the legalization of gaming.
Nothing to worry about, all will be fine. Lets give them more time to sort things out.
You should start changing the prices on your 52 million inventory pieces now so you can be ready for January 1.
With the increased VAT revenue the government will improve the services we get from them. Eg. The lights will stay on, crime will decrease, children will now graduate from school and actually be able to read and write, the pot holes in the road will be fixed, the new hospital will be opened, government pensions will be secured and the national debt will be reduced dramatically.
Large foreign investment is coming in for stem cell research and the tax on web shops will help government pay for programs to help the poor.
Hi John, you make a good point. Perhaps we can move more of the Haitians to the family islands where we have lots of crown land for them to live and farms on.
I understand that in one family island the schools are completely filled with Haitians and much of the employed work force is Haitian.
