YOU might now be in the 5% Obama will raise taxes on because YOU get OIL and Gas Money

This really isn't specific to Obama saying he will cut taxes on 95% of American's and only the top 5% or money earners will pay more taxes.

It just got me to thinking how I am interested to see what happens when everyone around here starts jumping into those top tax brackets and how they will feel then about the "rich" paying more taxes.

Also, I wonder if Bonus and royalty money is going to push people into tax brackets that cause them to lose some benefits they might be receiving based on certain income levels.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
