Tax the numbers business. It is a tax on the poor that should be clawed back.

Why can't anyone in the Government say what happened to our VAT funds? This is beyond ridiculous.

If a "Hurricane" Tax is imposed it will never ever be repealed----The Bahamian people are still paying "War" tax since WW2---Surely they cannot be serious!!

IF CHRISTIE WANTS TO TAX SOMEONE FOR HIS CORRUPT GOVERNMENT'S FAILURE TO FUND AND MAINTAIN A GOVERNMENT SELF-INSURED HURRICANE RELIEF FUND, THEN THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE SUGGEST HE PLACE A SPECIAL 20% TAX ON THE ANNUAL GROSS REVENUES OF HIS GAMING WEB SHOP FRIENDS FOR EACH OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. ANY DAY NOW WE EXPECT THE LIKES OF CRAIG FLOWERS AND SEBAS BASTIAN TO ANNOUNCE TOKEN DONATIONS OF A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE RELIEF EFFORT WHEN THEY CAN AFFORD, AND RIGHTFULLY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE MANY MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY TAKE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES EACH AND EVERY YEAR!

EDITORIAL: US election grows nastier by the day
As an aside to your observations, it should be noted that Mr. Trump garnered more votes in the Republican primaries than any other Republican in history. An indication a significant portion of the American population is dissatisfied with the country's current direction, both domestically and outside it's borders. A even casual observer would agree that the rhetoric in this campaign is not what those unfamiliar with U.S. history are accustomed to hearing. But before the time of Bahamian Independence, most notably beginning with the Lincoln-Douglas debates, crude analogies, allegations of corruption, and slanderous remarks were part of partisan strategies. Now in the information era, the 24 hour news cycle and easy access to public forums, the electorate and the world are exposed to the seedy side of American politics. However, given the choice of a dictator or a look at the dark side, I'll take my chances the sun will rise again.
