**Truth be told, this Minnis-led FNM administration is little different from the last Christie-led administration. The fact that Dumbo Minnis can even make someone as despicable as Yellow Belly Davis look good should be a most frightening wake up call for all of us. The corrupt political elite of the PLP and FNM alike, and their cronies, have brought our country to its knees and voters really need put an end to this two-party tag-team nonsense that has been going on for decades. They can do so by voting for an independent candidate running in their constituency.**
That is Tribanon's position ............. he wants Lincoln Bain to be PM (Lord help us)
The Bahamian tax system NEEDS a complete overhaul .......... This is the ideal time to do it as we try to rebound from Covid & Dorian. Whether the FNM Government will do so, depends on the political climate leading up to the 2022 Election ........ and beyond.
consider this:
What present taxes should we keep? ... fuel, vehicle, stamp, departure, excise, customs, real property, NIB/Health, business, VAT12 etc What present taxes should we get rid of totally? What present taxes should we increase rates? What present taxes should we decrease rates? What NEW taxes should we consider in order to enhance social equity? How can the post-2021 tax regime be BETTER collected by Govt or private sector? How can ALL Bahamians be encouraged to pay their taxes more efficiently/timely? How can the Govt reduce the amount of non-receivables from its taxation system? How can the Govt ensure that Bahamians are compliant with taxes before benefiting from any Govt incentives? How can younger Bahamians (U50) be educated to engage in greater awareness of the importance of paying taxes (compared to their forebears)?
The real "cheap talk" is the BBA who tout their status and honour, while covering up wrongdoing & corruption. Same goes for ALL other so-called professional organizations in this country. Period

Fweddy sat in Christie's hapless, corrupt and do-nothing Cabinet from 2012-2017 ......... He has NO credibility to ask Minnis to explain any FNM Cabinet matters ........... The FNM needed to expose him as well
