The head of their business development department told me stuff was somewhat more expensive to buy there
I wonder HOW much more expensive things are - after all, if you're NOT paying 35% of you income in taxes, it wouldn't hurt so much to pay 15% more for things you buy :P

but Miami was just a 30 minute plane ride away, and you could bring back up to thousands worth of US goods with no additional tarriffs.
Now that rather pisses me off. I wonder how long they'll be able to sustain no income taxes if their people aren't supporting the economy. :angry:

I'd also be willing to bet that a lot of the money to run the country (or whatever Freeport is...is it a country?!?) comes from tourists and large fees from cruise ships docking there. I haven't been to Freeport in 20+ years - loved it then, bet it's changed
