Bermuda is seen as a tax haven because it is a tax haven. That’s the main reason why IB is here at all.

She doesn’t care what anybody says. That’s the problem.

Regardless of what you all think of Laverne Furbert, at least she is not afraid to be herself and speak her own mind. She does not care what you cowards who hide behind stupid nicknames have to say.

@Webster—get a life, Lavern already commented on that story on another blog..this story is about Wayne Brown signing a tax information exchange agreement….maybe you can ask her to explain what that means to us as far as progree? but call the talk show and challenge her, you and the other blogger who insists on referring to the Sherri show on Bermy…have the balls to call Sherri and tell Her how you feel…………………………………”in all fairness”

Why are we still doing this? Its irrelevant. We are still seen as Tax Havens by the US. Why cant we be like some countries who refuseed to give in. We are our own Soverienty! ahhh Bermuda!

has anyone noticed that Lavern does not call Lopes,or Dill?
that is because they are professionals…. she will call Dacosta because he is terrified of her!!!the moment she calls him to point out that he should have hung or said something about the last caller, he is afraid to say anything….. at least Shirley and David do not tolerate her cr@p,Everest is being used once again by the P.L.P.
lavern. did you hear a caller to the sherry Simmons show who said that white people are a freak of nature ???? and she let her go on and on,she also said that white people have no spirtuality…. the caller was aunt Peggy….. Lavern did you heat this ?

What’s more Draconian, one of your family members killed because these punks don’t care for the rule of law or respect for others or punish these punks with the full, brutal arm of the law?

Ever notice most of the plp “die hards” that make all these radical statements inciting race, their little faces on the right are constantly changing? Mine has been married to my name since I started commenting. What’s up with that I wonder? I mean, its clear there are other plp supporters on here and they have that right, but they don’t seem to feel the need to stir the race pot…hmmm interesting, oba “secret troops” huh? What platform will the plp be left with when the race card loses its specialness?

“… the hidden comments are made no other than by white racist people or people who are still affected in their mind with white rule …”

And you have EVIDENCE to back-up that outrageous racist statement…? Or are you again attacking the perceived messenger?! SMH

So, it’s okay to make a personal attack against the former Premier,Dr. Brown, but not Mr. Wayne Brown? Why not ask for the personal attacks to stop – period?

LOL to all the negative comments thus far, it shows that you dont even understand what the signing of this treaty even means, This is an example of how the current government is doing good but others would have you think otherwise or try to throw in bs to go away from the topic at hand..and that is that the PLP is doing an excellent job and making moves. Just goes to show that the hidden comments are made no other than by white racist people or people who are still affected in their mind with white rule. Look how this guy (unimpressed)called him a plp stooge, with no facts to back that up, and the coward would never say this to Mr Browns face especially now that he knows what he looks like and will most definitely see him again.

@big dog, I so agree. Mr Brown is the consumate professional, I had the pleasure of working with him many years ago. Personal attacks on these blogs are becoming outrageous!

Will — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:37:14 +0000

thats draconian, why don’t you get with the rest of us in the 21st century and call for an end to the prohibition which is ruining millions of lives the world over

Wayne is a top professional within the Finance Ministry and about as different as you can be to Ewart. Shame on anyone who indicates otherwise. To the other question, there is no economic measure of the TIEAs but it is clear without them Bda would be unable to maintain itself as an offshore finance center.

Does anyone measure what these tax agreements really contribute to Bermuda’s economy? Has anyone assessed the cost of the Bermuda Government housing an employee in Paris full-time to develop these agreements? Is anyone paying attention to the costs and benefits?

Too bad we didn’t have the harsh drug penalties Singapore has. I bet if you cut off a few people’ hands here and gave them some lashes they wouldn’t do it again like in Singapore. We’re Singapoor!!!
