Why, they're not getting windfall profits while simultaneously paying no taxes...Windfall profits tax would generate $23 billion

If we were to tax just 40 percent of that excess profit, it would generate $23 billion in tax revenue. This is about 1 percent of our federal budget and could do quite a bit more than provide discounted heating oil to those who are hard-hit by price increases this winter.
