yes, I am. It reduces drilling here and increases the oil we import. You should read up on it. Windfall profit is still the money the oil companies collect from consumers. Increase taxes or windfall profits is the same game just a different name. Oil companies aren't dumb they will just increase the price to retain the same profit.

Windfall profit taxes don't work; the companies just pass off the extra money they lose in taxes as price hikes to consumers.

Plus, if you are going to impose windfall profit taxes on an industry with a 7-9% profit margin, you are going to have to do the same with the industries with 20-40% profit margins as well.

Finally....McCain told Obama he is not Bush!!!! It's about time.

They are politicians; what do you expect? All that matters with them is who can lie the best.

Couldn't agree more - all debates should be in this format

He's losing at the moment (Obama)

He's been caught off foot - didn't expect McCain to come out so strong at teh start, probably expected the pressure on McCain to allow him to get a foothold first. This isn't happening and it seems to have shaken Obama.

Anyone watching the CNN ticker?
