Obama says he would impose oil windfall profits tax So what's a 'windfall profit' ?? Above a certain dollar amount ?? Or Above a certain percent profit margin ?? Didn't we try this once before with less than positive results ?? How about recognizing that we're facing a global liquid transport fuels crisis and deal with that .. Triff ..

Someone should ask the Obamas how much over the minimum wage they have to make before we say they have 'windfall profits'... and how much should we tax those 'windfall profits'?? He has a Senate job, and has been doing that job exactly how many hours each year? And his books? Did he write them on taxpayer time? And Michelle....how much of your salary contributes to the cost of health care for all those 'poor people' you are pandering to? And BTW, how did you and Obama pay for your Ivy League educations? Did you make the US taxpayers do that too?
