In Antigua and Barbuda, the sanctity of private property rights is under threat, raising concerns among citizens about governmental overreach and economic inequality. Yves Ephraim, a concerned citizen, highlights the alarming trend of property acquisitions by the government, which disproportionately affects the poor and middle class. Historically, such acquisitions targeted the wealthy, but recent amendments to the Tax Administration Act have lowered the threshold for government seizures, making it easier to acquire private property with minimal recourse for owners. This shift has sparked fears of widespread displacement and economic instability.
