#1 Hmm, I doubt it. The economy really grows on comparative advantage, and a prerequisite of that is to control your own time (which is harmed by income based (and deferred income i.e. sales) taxes).
With the bureaucrats controlling so much of the economy I think the oil will be squandered.

#5 US oil production after decades of decline began to rise in 2005.

Anyone who could read a graph knew something was happening.
