Actually, I like the idea of the Senate broadening this windfall profits tax out to cover Fannie, Freddie, Goldman, BAC, GM, etc, etc. (any form in receipt of $5 BILLION or more of the public's bailout funding).... It might be the only thing sufficient to light a fire under 'em to get the companies to HURRY UP and repay the bail out money. It's likely to be a temporary (couple of years or less) situation anyway... but with waitresses and truck drivers bailing out the livelihoods of folks grossing upwards from a Million or so a year... that would seem to be a minimal safeguard if "fairness" is at all part of our national ethos these days.
