The Webshop boys spokeman must think Bahamians are really really stupid. The Bahamian people overwhelming and unequivocally said NO to a government referendum on weather or not to legalize the Illegal Numbers and Webshops Industry. Now he is on all the an Radio talk shows attempting to justify why they should be in existence and not subjected to the new taxes levied on their Social parasitical industry. Hope that these shows are being paid well to bring this kind of talk to the Bahamian people.

The Webshop boys bought out the previous Government for very little ( couple of thousand dollars in their pockets) and are trying to bully the present Government into meeting their demands. sorry it will not work. Closed your doors, pack up and be gone. Its a national lottery time, where the profits will help fund education, Health and the old pensioners.

The Government should tax the gamblers at a rate of 25 percent on winnings of $100.00 or more.

If the People of the Dominican Republic across the border figured it out, why the Bahamian people (RBDF) 139 nautical miles away by open ocean cannot figure it out.

The Webshop cartels love the government to talk and implement higher taxes on the Bahamian people. The higher the taxes the more desperate the 80 percent gaming Bahamian population become and consequently increased their business and profits. Incidentally, have you noticed how fat the politician have gotten since the elections, man, busting out of they suits. Think they meals menus include Corned beef and grits or Tuna fish and grits???

Its the " peoples time". Hopefully the current Government will not follow the action taken in 2011 by the "Papa Doc" oh " Papa Ingraham" government that took away all of my NIB pension benefits after contributing since 1974 due to shameless corruption and gross mismanagement of the NIB Funds. As all interested Bahamians realize, NIB is the "cash cow" for the Insolvent BOB, after BOB handed out millions of dollars in unsecured and now delinquent loans to members of government, their families, friends and lovers. . The past governments have economically raped the Bahamian people through the shameless corrupt politicians, their Families, friends and many lovers. The imf, world bank and all the other world financial agencies are telling Bahamians that they cannot entrust their financial well being to the Government, past, current or future due to corruption and mismanagement of NIB Contributions (Taxes), VAT or the inevitable income Taxes. .

Its the " peoples time" government. Hopefully they will not repeat the action that the 2011 "Papa Doc" oh " Papa Ingraham" took, taking away ALL of my NIB pension benefits after contributing since 1974 point blank. After paying all the corrupt and shamless politicians that economically raped the bahamian people along with their families, friends and their many lovers. nib is the cash cow for BOB to replace the millions of dollars given to the politically connected delinquent shameless borrowers. The imf, world bank and all the other world financial agencies are telling the Bahamians you cannot depend on the Governments, past, current and future for your financial well being when in need due to shameless corruption and gross mismanagement of the NIB contributions (Taxes) VAT Taxes and inevitably income Taxes.

Hopefully no other Bahamian will encounter my experience with NIB and the pension fund. After enrolling in the NIB in 1974 at the inception and contributing to the fund to get a pension at retirement age, the papa ingraham fnm government in 2011, 37 years later and at retirement age TOOK that benefit away from me because of the gross corruption and gross mismanagement at nib.
Bahamians should consider the NIB contributions as additional taxes and establish and manage their own retirement/pension account.

Hopefully it will NOT be as I experienced in 2011 at retirement age when the Government of papa ingraham took away my pension benefits, despite being enrolled since 1974 and contributing to the NIB pension fund, due to the major corruption and mismanagement of the NIB funds.
NIB pension funds should not be used to bail out corrupt and mismanaged government departments and agencies..
Bahamians should consider contributions to the NIB fund as additional taxes and establish and manage their own retirement/pension funds.

Maybe the Bahamas Law will also include that any Foreign registered Child Sex offender be placed on the Bahamas Immigration stop list. Lets make a difference not only in the Bahamas but in the world.
