I am amused. I was thinking when I saw the headlines that the call for writers, was a call for research writing, to discover, layout and advance a vision for the Financial Services.....however, it is merely to figure how to comply aggressively, with what someone else wants.
When will face the fact that if you are running about to comply with some dictat from abroad, you do not have an industry?
When you are in this mode, you are not refining your products. You are not developing your services model. You are not improving competitive balance. Instead, you cannot do any f these things, because tomorrow, after running on your tongue to satisfy the latest foreign demand, you will find yourself met with new demands which again, you run your guts out to comply with.
The Bahamas is a small nation. Its not excuse for having small imagination.

I highly doubt that our country can make its statutes FATCA compliant by the deadline, especially when legislative changes are notoriously sluggish... But in any event this is an example of 'nation bullying' a sovereign state like ours to change its laws...even having the nerve to give it a deadline.
....Where are the freedom fighting leaders of the past who stood up to the elite and who bravely took the country to an independent nation state...who's the MP that will stand up and tell America "Take ya' time soulja!", (or whatever the island youths are saying these days) as being nothing but a doormat to dust your feet on is certainly not in the genetic make up of the average Bahamian. Things have changed..Mother Bahamas has traded its lions for lambs and our national leaders are nothing but coin traders with short ambitions.
Lets set a new path by gaining world wide influence instead of preserving the "Yessa Masta" slavery mindset in the international community......It is getting embarrassing..... Lets gain influence in the IMF or World Bank.... Lets become a First World Nation like our Caribbean counterpart in the South.......Our Politicos talks about engaging in CARICOM and we still takin' orders....The Country Gone Man!
