And you politicians find a way to 'thief' it! Explain to me why Government double dipping for those who sending funds abroad through money services organizations like Money Gram? The sender already paid his taxes to Government and his net pay cheque is to meet his daily needs. Why is Government placing a tax on the funds sent abroad to buy milk and bread? This is not a level playing field!
I am a BVIslander that rarely uses MG but see the need to speak out on this. When a government keeps robbing from the poor the country suffers because the rich only spending their money wickedly to get richer, and the end result is that they too end up poor. Poor man keeping rich man alive all the time.
So he poke his foot in his mouth one more j*** %^& time.
