Barge owner talks oil and taxes

Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal checks in with barge owner Austin Golding.

There’s a lot of oil moving through the economy. It’s literally moving, from point A to point B in trains, trucks and barges.

In light of the recent drop in oil prices, we checked in with Austin Golding, who runs Golding Barge Line, a family business in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Business has picked up since the last time we talked to Golding, and he’s surprisingly excited about a new tax increase.
