I was talking to someone who is high up in the IRS. They are part of the corporate tax division. Apparently, when Obama became president, he issued a presidential order to ensure that petro-chemical corps, namely Big Oil, were audited thoroughly to make sure they were paying their fair share of taxes. After the last two decades of accounts were audited, the White House was nrabroad
satisfied with the amount of taxes paid out by these corporations. Here's the kicker: the biggest tax cheat was BP. This had to do with the fact that most of their offices were based overseas. Apparently, sometime around March, an order to destroy all audits associated with these accounts came through. My friend was shocked as it was all hush-hush. Word was circulating that the Obama administration issued a memo stating they were going to make sure the Oil companies paid heavily for their profit-taking. If you recall, Obama campaigned heavily on the fact that he wanted to tax the oil companies.
"When he unveiled his first budget outline on Feb. 26, 2009, he included a number of measures that would revoke tax advantages for oil companies"
Since he was dissatisfied with the expediency of the, Obama looked to alternatives to punish Big Oil. Lo and behold, a few months after the closing of the audits, the largest tax cheat, BP, became the target of a government planned operation of sabrabroad
age.
The operation served many purposes;
Firstly, the Obama administration has always been against coastal drilling. Now, with the largest disaster in history, they are able to pretty much halt all future drilling.
Secondly, and most importantly, they were able to force a severe punishment on BP for fleecing the United States of tax revenue.
More to come...
