>Are you old enough to remember the "Windfall Profits Tax"<
I guess I'm not, Eddie. I think I get the picture though- 'Windfall Envy Tax.' <g>
Was it just on oil co's??

Yes for years on only one industry. Why do you think there hasn't been an oil refinery built in US in over 22 years. Perhaps they should have had a windfall profits tax on software sales. Then Microsoft wouldn't have a $28 billion cash horde.
