you should not fence off of bunch of land in texas to say i own all of this then never allowed to visit or develop your land, they wanted to prevent that. saul they make sure that you police your remand and develop it or you might lose some of it. also with enhancing development was the notion of property taxes. i hate those as much as anybody but there is the reason and not to fund public schools. the reason is to make sure if you have got land you are doing something with it. it is not sitting empty were vacant they wanted the land to be used all the time for the good of your fellow man. the most interesting thing of the land use is getting into the hands of the people through jefferson's influence passing the northwest ordinance. it happens before the constitution what is the northwest ordinance do? when you get people out in this land use up a system whereby those colonists become citizens. they want to make sure what happened when the american colonies in england doesn't happen a second time with the colonies in indiana and ohio. so the tanned man ownership they make citizens out o

the obama administration has shut down the leasing on any public lands. texas is the only state in the union that didn't turn their public lands over to the federal government. but the rest of the country, in areas like idaho, utah, we know there is production up there, up in wyoming, up in montana, all the stuff that the canadians are producing across the border, the fields on our side are being curtailed by the administration. they don't want to produce oil but buy it from foreign sources and these foreign sources, the people who study the market say, libya isn't available anymore, iraq is not available. what happens if we have no production at home, the market looks shaky, we better buy futures on oil. and guess what? the price goes up. they see a shortage coming down the pike and compete with india and china, two of the biggest competitors for any kind of energy that's out there and we aren't going to buy -- the chance to buy fuel at a cheaper price now. of course speculators are going to do that and industry is going to do that. as my friend blake was poin

you shouldn't fence off a bunch of land, fence off texas and say i own all of this and never visit or develop your land. see, they wanted to prevent that, and so to do that, they made sure you have to police your land and ride your land and develop your land or you might lose it. another factor instituted over time towards of enhancing development was property taxes. now, believe me i hate property taxes as much as everybody, but there's a reason for them and it's not to fund public schools. the reason for property taxes is if you got land you're doing something with it. it's not sitting empty. you're using the land. they wanted the land used all the time for the development of the good of your fellow man. the most interesting thing is once the land is in the hands of the people, also through jefferson's influence, you pass the northwest ordnance. what does that do? it happens before the constitution, okay? what does it do? it says when you get people out on this land, you set up a system whereby those colonists, those settlers become citizens. what happened with the american colonies

the reasoning is, you shouldn't just go fence off a bunch of land, fence off all of texas and say, hey, i own all of this and you never go out and visit your land or develop it, see, they wanted to prevent that. and so to do that, they made sure that you have to go out and police your land and ride your land and develop your land or you might lose some of it. and another factor that was instituted over time towards enhancing development was the whole notion of property taxes. now, believe me, i hate property taxes as much as anybody. but there is a reason for property taxes and it's not to fund public schools. the reason for property taxes is to make sure that if you've got land, you're doing something with it. it's not sitting empty. it's not sitting vacant. you're using the land. they wanted the land to be used all the time, to develop for the good of your fellow man. now, the most interesting thing about the land use once they get the land into the hands of the people, also through jefferson's influence you pass the northwest horns what does it -- ordinance and what does it do? what
