Does Big Oil's Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?

I keep hearing from the socialists posting on this article that "big oil" is getting subsidies and "big oil" is in control of the energy policies. But I never hear about the auto industry and their associated industries fighting higher mileage standards tooth and nail or to the basic root causes such as over-population and a government that is for sale to the highest bidder.
Go ahead and tax the oil companies, then watch oil go even higher than you can imagine.
By the way Vickram, any time you want to share in those out sized oil profits, you can buy a shares of Exxon any day of the week for about $90 apiece...quit acting like you and your socialist buddies are somehow excluded.

An Energy Policy That Makes Sense, Revisited

User 145964...I completely agree with you. Our government will take whatever taxes they can and mis-allocate them as quickly as possible.

ozzy43, thanks for the rational explanation. Brian Pursley, you are going to be very shocked in the the years ahead...get ready. Your "theory" is about as logical as the "rain will follow the plow" cult that has helped us overpopulate the western deserts of the US...
