As long as your kid gets his, who gives a Shiite about anyone else right?
Not necessarily - if they have long-term contracts for their production, they're probably just now starting to get the better prices. What happens long-term from here on out is anybody's guess. If they're having to "buy" for marketing purposes, this may not be all good news.
Well great! By the time they inherit it, they inheritance should cover about a barrel of oil!
"My son-in-law's maternal grandparents own an oil company, so the higher the price of oil, the larger my grandchildren's inheritance."
well then just think what he gains from them he will lose from you, or when the dems win in nov due to these gas prices and put your in laws out of business your kid wont get squat.
How wonderful for them. Rest assured, we hoi polloi shall eat cake in honor of your grandchildren.
Yep, and for every dollar your grandkids make, several thousand go to Chavez, the Saudis, and Iran. Enjoy!
Don't forget the taxes!
I don't think we passed the bill to not tax inheritance, did we? Even if we did they'll be taxed to death while all are living.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... we're a SOCIALIST nation.
