However if they can find a way to lower duties significantly for businesses that sells stuff that the low income earners have to buy regularly example food, fuel for the vehicle, stuff to clean your homes.
More specifically supermarkets, gas stations.
What would happen everyone will enjoy a better quality of life because cost of living will be some what easier.

I pray that the thief will repent before it is too late...just a reminder God sees and know even if no one else does....you will reap your reward.
As a young person out here you are on your own. I see that. No police help. Sometimes it takes reaching the church for you all to realize its a everyone problem not a problem exclusive to young black males. These types of things will eventually hit everyone if we stay on this track.
Not to mention the economy...
We can sit around typing bull$$$t all day and ignore what is happening on the ground. The Premier said the economy is not in a slump, well let him continue to think that and keep it business as usual. Things will continue to spiral downhill because people are desperate and living in the BVI is like trying to survive in California with the prices of everything. Many people are doing things that they're not proud of, legal or illegal to make ends meet and we sit around praying, hoping, singing that all will be well.
Today's thieves, usually appear in the corner store grocer, who overcharges for their products; the legal fraternity, who overcharges in the rendering of justice; the misplaced physicians, and their over priced, fake medications, that first, render harm, and in may cases,do very little good; the crooked realtor, who inflate prices, to make the quickest dollar; the greedy politicians, who, for many years, have used their position, to take lands, real property, and other such irreplaceable valuables, in order for biggest gains!
I can go on and on with the varied and colorful " thieves", in this country, but the gist of the message is:THOSE OF YOU, without sin, CAST THE FIRST STONE!!
have chosen to cultivate on its once Blessed soil,an excessively large dominant pervasive human presence, damning their Vigjn Islands to merge and marinate in the degeneracy of a social and economic cononundrum of never ending failures.
