Be prepared for the onslaught being brought upon the Dominican taxpayers after the holidays. I understand that Hippo is in so bad a need of cash that he has ordered his lambon Cesar Sanchez at the CDE to increase electric bills even higher than recently mentioned in the press. How much??? Listen to this, a typical bill of $8000 could go as high as $50,000 a month!!!!!! I am not joking.
What is even worse is that most businesses will have a minimum of $100,000 regardless of usage. That is on top of the idea that the ITBIS will probably be increased to 16%.
How will businesses survive this boggles my imagination. But let me give you an idea. The mighty Santo Domingo Motors has now cut the Pontiac line. If you want a Pontiac you have to bring it yourself. Sooner than later we are going to turn into another boring European city filled with European and Japanese cars. So long American cars. I may move back to Miami after all where American cars are still visible.
If I were Bush I would tell Hippo "you give my cars a fair chance, or else". American cars pay higher taxes than equally priced Euros and those mickey mouse Japanese sardine cans.
