And neither should they get free rides...When talking political situations we still should rank top just behind the countries whose govenments are corupt and get paid by the miners at the expense of the people.. at least for awhile and until the locals have their fill they kill the dictators and take over the assets of the minning giant who by the way extracted their costs in the first couple yrs. I dont want to get started... we live in the best place in the world lets complain about the thieves and keep a close eye on what the leaders are doing just to keep them honest. I dont want hand outs to bankrupt the country
