Windfall Profits Tax

Those of us who have lived through 1970's know that we the consumer pay the "windfall profits" tax, not the oil companies.

Maybe Washington is finally getting some practical education on taxation.

I'm a believer

Iraq hawks at State and Defense (VP too), no tax hikes on income, no windfall profits tax...

I would have voted for THIS Obama...

Another sales pitch goes by the way side

Do you really believe he was going to increase th ecost of fuel in this economy?

Come on!
