The extremely high level of aggregate taxes on food is a major contributor to our outrageously high food prices. See my reply to @242realdeal's post above.
Your point about the government being "the largest shareholder in the food business" in our country is a most astute one. Our corrupt politicians of both the PLP and FNM persuasion have always taxed to the max the very things most of us cannot do without in our lives, and food is right up there at the top of the list of the most heavily taxed items.
Our corrupt PLP and FNM politicians have always taxed food to the max to get the tax revenues they need to pay for and continue growing the grossly over-bloated and unproductive civil workforce they have created.
Without a shadow of doubt the most cruel people in our country today are our corrupt politicians who will continue taxing food to the max so that they can continue handing out government jobs, government promotions, government benefits, government allowances, etc. to their perceived supporters, many of whom will soon find that they too can no longer afford meats, vegetables and fruits.
With the stroke of a pen the Davis and Cooper led PLP administration could significantly drive down the cost of food simply by lowering the more than 35 cents in taxes that government effectively takes on each and every dollar we spend on food today.
Anyone who may have been in the exact area at the time might be more inclined to recast their memory to the occasion and reflect on what they may have seen or noticed. That's just human nature.
The Who's Who of The Lyford Cay Community are all giddy as they ready themselves for this Royal visit. But some of them are asking: "Do we really have to stomach the presence of the likes of Mitchell, Davis and Cooper at the social events we plan to hold in our gated community for William and Kate?" LOL
the dra needs to be completely shut down and the very corrupt and incompetent storr must not be allowed to continue his hard sucking of sweet milk from the public's tit anywhere else within the government.
