Mining company stock owners - note well By Trader Dan

* Monday, February 13, 2012

Most of you who read this site are well aware of my political leanings - I happen to believe that the current administration is perhaps the most inept, reckless and endangering to liberty in the history of this nation and needs to be replaced at the ballot box this coming November.

Those of you who own mining company stocks should take note that as part of the "doomed to fail" budget submitted by the Obama administration, all hardrock mining companies would be required to pay annual rents and royalty fees of no less than 5% of gross proceeds.

Currently a law that is 140 years old, exempts them from paying royalties to the US government.

Environmentalists have been after this law for years and have found their champion in the current occupant of the White House.

The rental portion of this budget would impose a fee on for both public and private lands with the funds supposedly being used to clean up abandoned mines. Coal companies are currently under a similiar plan.

Don't worry however - I am completely assured that every bit of the monies raised from this targetted plundering will be put to good use for the American citizenry with absolutely none of it going to cronies of Obama such as Solyndra.
