Why in the fuck congress doesn't go after the oil companies with a windfall tax in beyond me. These oil companies could give a shit if the country goes into a depression, just so long as they can make their obscene profits. It's like the 70's all over again.

The price of oil has gone up because of the nutbag in Iran talking trash !
1) Oil companies and presidents don't control the price of oil the market does !
2) The oil companies made an average of 10% profit the last year and Walmart, Google, Starbucks and hundreds of others made 35%-45% profit so
should they pay a windfall tax?
I think anyone is an idiot for paying $4.50 for coffee but that's what the market allows so they can do it.
Finally, Katrina caused about 70 Billion $$ in damages to oil platforms and pipelines so if you cap gas and oil or profits do you support the Gov't paying for Hurricane damage?
