Parsons says that although 1872 Mining Law reform has passed in the U.S. House it remains stuck in the Senate. “It is literally one person on the U.S. Senate who stops it at every turn, and that’s Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and he does so because he’s beholden to the mining interests because he’s dependent on them for his reelection in Nevada,” Parsons said.

Now the Gestapo tactics of the FBI in Nevada and Oregon are finally starting to make sense

This is an intersesting piece of the puzzle here! I did a post suggesting the timing of Reids judge packing nuclear option suggested he was working to cover up the Uranium-Gate scandal.

What a mess

Thanx for dusting this piece touching on U1 off from 2010.

Selling it off for money. At least the Rosenbergs acted out of some sort of principle, perverse as it was.

Oh one other thing... this a rather important subject...

Post it all?

When this issue came up there were lots of Freepers on the side of no taxes for mining.

The miners make the same claim as ranchers that they spend so much money developing the property in order to mine/ranch that the added burden of taxation would be too much to handle. Also, that any tax would just be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher metals costs or higher meat prices.

So do Freepers hate Reid so much that they are fer everything he was agin'?

Do we now favor taxes just to spite ole' Harry?
