Bernie Sanders calling for a "windfall profits tax" on oil companies, live on Thom Hartmann.

Next year when we have massive gains in the House and Senate and we hold the White House, I will expect no less.

1. Aren't we embarrassed that a non-Democrat called for it?

Because we should be.

[NightWatcher]

2. and he has all the support of all the other independents on this one

oh wait, he is the only indy in office. The Dems will never pass this

3. ExxonMobil had around an 10% profit this past quarter, where will the windfall begin? At 6% 7%?

[GliderGuider]

6. Good question. And shouldn't this apply to all companies?

"From now on, no corporation is allowed to make more than 7% profit." That will go down well.

Tell you what, why not just nationalize your oil industry like so many other nations have done?

4. yes and it should be retroactive for the last 8 years

all the windfall profits since gas was $1 a gallon :)
