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.

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

I would have voted for THIS Obama...
