My guess is if income tax rates are increased to the amount stated under his plan, that billions more in taxes on royalties and lease bonuses in the ArkLaTex will be sent to the government. Even a 10 acre landowner who gets a nice leasing bonus is gonna get nailed for being one of the "evil" rich people making more than 250k per year in household income.
From what I have read on this post it looks like we have several people who are much more knowledgeable and qualifiled to be president than Barak Obama. I'm pretty sure I can tell you what things will be like under him, think 1976-80! He's so much like Jimmy Carter it's scary, same naivity, same inexperience. It's kind of sad that someone like him even has a serious chance at winning the presidency.
It doesn't take much to be more knowledgeable and qualified than Barrry Obamama. I've got a dog that is more qualified. But the dog doesn't scare me. BammaMama does because our country has too many idiots willing to vote for anyone who promises to give them something for nothing! Hope and Change!! Ha! I just "HOPE" I have some spare "CHANGE" when he's done!
Your dollar is worth 40% less today than in 2002. The Republicans have controlled congress most of that time and George Bush has been in office all of the time. Our spare change and royalty payments will soon be worthless if things continue in the same vein for the next four years. I have thought of including an option in my lease contract to take payment in kind of NG sufficient to heat my house and fuel my car.
In the news today: in 2006, 37% of the oil futures contracts were speculative. Now 72% of the contracts are speculative. The Republican congress changed the law in 2006 to permit folks other than end users to by futures contracts. How's that for a liciense to steal?
