Idea to send:	Topic Opec Oklahoma Content We are, according to the commercials, the second largest state producer of natural gas. Yet, we derive little benefit from this. The oil millionaires who made the state great have died and their heirs receive their royalty checks in New York City. There is little new employment in the oil fields other than minor stripper well companies. We should slap a major tax on all natural gas and oil produced before it's all gone. Sure, our in-state costs for those will go up, but they're going up anyway. The benefit is that all the other states will be paying our tax as well and thus supporting us. We need to behave more like an Opec nation before our resources are used up, and get as much benefit as possible from our natural resources. We can afford major tax cuts with the increased revenue. We can repair our highways and bridges and put people to work. And, no matter how much we tax it, it'll sell anyway. The world needs our oil.
