  When the Damang mine (where Toni Aubyne worked) started production about 15 years ago the gold price was under $300. I suppose they were then making profit. Are they telling us production costs have risen over 300%? This is all about fraudulent accounting.
  Let the Windfall Tax come.

  Forgive the insult, but seriously, haven't gold prices been at an all-time historical high. Even prices now (after this 25% drop) still higher than pre-recession/2008 prices. Is gov't telling us that the poor every-day man should see an increase of 50% in electricity, but adding any more tax to mining companies is heartless - what an insult to Ghanians.
  
  This gov't cares more about getting their kick-backs from companies to enact laws to benefit them, rather than helping the general populace.

  These companies have used accounting gimmicks to deprive the gov't of tax revenues for far too long. They can pack and leave.
  
  There are many miners waiting to take their place.
