re: But as for other industries paying taxes, they don't pay the additional gas taxes.

Either does the oil industry... the consumer pays it to the government. Just like "other industries" including tobacco, liquor, telephone both wired and wireless, cable, utilities, etc, etc.

re: They didn't have the "windfall profits tax" in the past.
