the young voters vote for them too. a fool is born every minute

now, now, don't interfere with the fella's civil rights now.he has the right of habeas corpus while he population at large has the to suffer habeas corpses.

And the reason you do that is because the TOTAL cost of the trip, with fuel, fees, etc.. is easily offset by the lower cost of supplies in Florida!!!

Even considering the customs duty, you save.

If the landing fees are that expesive, the buy from the local wholesalers.

Math Problem solved.

Actually it does, and teachers are required to fill such form. It is online and you can see for yourself:

Have you ever been convicted by any court in the Bahamas or elsewhere? If so, give particulars. Answer yes or no.

birdie, do you get paid to post here?
If yes, let me know so i can get such appointment. :))

I doubt this government's ability to collect property tax,

The proponents of payroll tax are wrong.

vat catches more fish, ie, business owners and self employed people.

So, as i said before, only the schlemiel on payroll are affected. The payroll tax will always be twice the VAT vat to generate the same revenue.

I did not know whether to laugh or cry when this tax coalition says "they need proof" that the payroll tax would have to be larger. Go learn your percentage folks.

Further more, they cant deduct from civil servants because 70% is gone already.

And, if this is really a tax on employers, who gonna pay the payroll tax for civil servants. aha, joe public will continue to subsidize these fat cats who never even paid the full rate of national insurance till a short while ago.

Gee!! it is not even safe to rob people anymore.

tho a loss for workers, unions are fast becoming an anacronism.

Milton Friedman is laughing in his grave

But truth be told, Batelco workers had it good for a biblical generation of 40 years.

The customer service people would not even answer the phone. got a problem with your phone and you had to drive to the headquarters.

I complained once that they did not answer the phone, a mid-manager told me they were "too busy' to answer the phone.

Sadly, otoh, i have worked many years without the benefit of a union. Employers are generally exploitative in the bahamas.

so, you did buy the newspaper!!!
but you don't seem to read the articles concerning the silliness of the prime minister!!
