@rbreich: Why are Chevron, Exxon, BP, and Shell using their record profits to jack up their share prices? Put simply: they're trying to enrich their own executives and investors at your expense. If there was ever a time for a windfall profits tax, it’s right now.

unfortunately i feel like our government is far too corrupt and under the thumb of the oil industry to implement something like this :/

Local convenience store isn't allowed to price gouge (masks, toilet paper), but perfectly okay for Petroleum companies to do it on a massive scale.

The deregulation of all energy corporations, including the oil companies increased the wealth disparity in the middle and lower classes.

I bet the oil companies can think of a reason not to do it.

And there is no direct way to do this _other than_ such a tax. Public firms will not act otherwise as they have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders

We as small operators in late 70’s and 80’s paid windfall profits on oil income. Damn big month oil hit $45/barrel.

Time to nationalize gas & oil production, or threaten too. Those prices will drop like a rock.

Yep. When the tables are turned and the corporation says you had a windfall sales month we won’t pay you your commission then it’s okay. 😡

Another idiotic statement by Robert. Don’t buy gasoline if you don’t like the oil companies. Spend your money on companies you support.

Sorry… raising taxes on companies just raises prices for consumers.. the taxes are passed on to the buyer.

wouldn't that decrease supply and increase prices? would you garantee profits even when companies lose money?
