In the Bahamas, there is a new tax that everyone is now forced to pay. This tax is called the ValueAdded Tax. The government is handling things unjustly because instead of trying to figure things out, they're just adding taxes. The Democratic National Alliance (DNA) believes that this tax can be avoided many different ways; such as tax alternatives or expanding their economy.
My opinion on this article is why are they rushing to figure out a problem? Wouldn't they rather take time and get a good result instead of rush to get it done and regret their decisions later when everyone, including them, is unhappy. I think maybe they should look at the alternatives before forcing people to pay more taxes.
This article has a lot to do with the Bahamian government and its politics. It shows how different things are over there then it is here in America. In America they have a system they put the tax through before they really do tax us.
