12-6-2012 *Med *MY #1 REASON FOR WHY MALIKI DOES NOT WANT AN RV RIGHT NOW - IN ORDER TO ENTER THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY IRAQ MUST GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO ANY COMPANY PRODUCING REVENUES. THEY CAN NOT HAVE A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN ANY COMPANY, OIL, GAS...NO MORE THAN 49% OF THAT COMPANY. ...THAT WOULD MEAN THE GOI WILL HAVE TO ACTUALLY SET UP SOME KIND OF TAX SYSTEM TO GENERATE REVENUES TO SUPPORT THAT VERY VERY EXPENSIVE GOVT. THIS IS WHY MALIKI WAS TOLD IN LATE FALL OF 09 TO CUT SALARIES AND TO ALSO CUT THE AMOUNT OF IRAQI'S EMPLOYED BY THE GOI THAT THEY HAVE, APPROX. 10 X THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR THE GOVT THAN IS NEEDED FOR A COUNTRY ITS SIZE. ALSO, IRAQS BUDGET IS INCREDIBLY HIGH COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES OF SIMILAR SIZE. MALIKI DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE THOSE REVENUES.
