    People all over the BVI are hurting they need immediate relief..focussing on a few people.. Increase the tax exemption amt from $10.000 to $18.000 for those making less than $30.000 per yr. That's a great help. Have some mercy for the suffers...oh my God.'!!. Say something good. Do something positive.

      @Useless Govt.

      When the government give out $18000.00 tax exemption, how do you propose the make up for this income loss? Would you be happy if there is an increase in other taxes or work permits and visas services? Do you wish for an increase in Social Security along with NHI? Do you want our already struggling Education, Health Care and Infrastructures to further suffer? Questions like these must first be answered before a decision can be made. It not as easy as you think. While I agree that they have squandered our funds, for this to take place, an increase in other areas must take place in order for the budget of the country to remain balance. To do otherwise will only have in the same boat similar as some other countries.
