I've got a news flash for everyone, the government already taxes people
and "distributes the wealth" the way it sees fit. It's nothing new.

Yep, instead of playing Robbin Hood and taking from the rich and giving to the poor, they are taking from the poor and giving it to the rich!!!

Do oil companies REALLY deserve billions of dollars in profits while lots of people can't afford to heat their homes?

It's becoming whoever is the biggest crook wins!

If they EARNED it, yes. But you want to go after a REAL evil greedy company? Pick on Google. Pick on Microsoft. Pick on APPLE.

8% "windfall" profits, that kind of money is chicken feed compared to Google.

Sorry, but they have to get in line behind all the wall street investment
firms and large banking firms that need some of our"wealth" to put them back
in business.

If I were president, you can bet your underwear, I would go after them if they were a US comany and subject to taxes!!!

THIS is the link you should have posted. Yours takes one to the 5th page of the article, and I would have read only that. But you said the article was long, and that one page was short.

Since I voted yesterday, it's too late for any one to change my mind!

I did see a funny commercial by McCain today. He said he would not sign ANY bill that had ANY pork attatched to it. I remember lots of people saying the same thing when running.

Only problem is, the only way they can get bills passed that they want, is if they allow pork that the congress wants. Same way congress sneaks the big raises they get every year by everyone while pretending they are not getting them.

Stick them in a long bill and don't allow line by line veto!!!
