No no no... We are a small country that large international companies use to their advantage to get out of paying the taxes and fall under cerain regulations in their countries. Why do we all take the money? As a small Nation, it's very much needed. As for the cruise lines? Keeping in mind the hunderds of millions of $$ that they have saved over the years by registering their business in another country; they need to be made to spend some of it by their passenger's home countries to take care of their own citizens. THIS IS NOT ON US! When times are normal we NEVER hear from the cruise lines regarding doing anything out of the ordinary to help The Bahamas. (Unless you want to include the purchasing of our islands and cays with the blessings of VERY short sighted administrations..)
