See it effects every family regardless of financial position in life. Just like the royalities effect every O & G business, regardless of profit level.
You think it will hurt the bottom line of the big ones; yes it will impact them. But the smaller ones will not weather the storm so well; it at all.

My head hurts - are you just arguing for the sake of arguing now?
Let's leave the City taxes issue alone - you have yet to respond to my post about the City finding ways to reduce taxes, which I'm waiting dilligently on in the other thread.
As for the royalties, there is a difference between a family in poverty and an oil and gas company making less profit. The former doesn't have enough money to meet its basic needs; the latter has more than enough still to survive.
Please don't compare the oil companies to poverty-stricken families. That is a horrible, HORRIBLE comparison that I beg you to not go there with.
