Why should the middle class subsidize the taxes of the oil companies at the expense of the working poor? Shouldn't you tax companies with extremely high profit margins instead of extremely high profits in absolute dollars? Oil companies have low operating margins, MSFT has (I think) around 35% operating margins. Some semiconductor companies like LLTC and QCOM have ~45% operating margins. Aren't the high profit margin companies better targets than oil companies?
