I'm not sure I understand where the flip flop is...

Ecuador doesn't get much in taxes under the current laws....

and gets screwed under current oil taxation laws

so Correa is pushing the assembly to accept the new drafted laws

I don't see how that would be bad for investors unless one is short sighted

ie it's better for us to screw the common ecuadorian as long as we can

that way we can take advantage of them, before they catch on?

I'm not sure I agree with that

something fair for mining companies AND the common ecuadorian would be best in the long run

maybe I missed something here
