Eight-fold property tax hikes to 'kill' Exuma
Lets make it a rule that you can sell your property to the Ministry of Finance at 20% less than they appraised it. For cash. Bargain for them, right?
Then those useless idiots would be slightly more careful.

A great start would be a sale of BEC/BPL to the private sector.
Clearly the treasury can not afford to cover dollar for dollar what everyone wants from it. Someone is just going to have to admit the truth one day.
Our deficits are too high.
It was a huge mistake to have just done VAT, and hiked VAT without also cuts in the civil service and also a reduction in our bonds from debt holders. And this was before Dorian even!
Everyone needs to be at the table and offering things up not just the tax payer/common Bahamian who does not have a gold plated pension/bond holdings. Everyone needs to get to the table it should have happened a long time ago.
We can do this now and the Bahamas can control the outcome or it can do it at the demand of the IMF and it will not control the outcome. Which do people want?

Man. Just eliminate duty. That is what's holding us back. That and stupidly high electricity.
Local manufacturers will just have to up their game. No biggie. If duty is eliminated and the cost of business is significantly reduced local manufacturers can compete. Stop being afraid and embrace the future.
