The oil companies make less profit per dollar of revenue than Microsoft does. They make less profit per unit of oil than Coca Cola does per unit of soft drinks. Should a windfall profit tax be imposed on them?

In certain parts of the country, housing prices have gone up over 100% since 2000. Should those people be taxed on those obscene profits?

Gasoline prices:

Rank Price/gallon
1-Sierra Leone 18.42
2-Aruba 12.03
...
10-Belgium 8.22
111- U.S. 3.45

Looks like we have it pretty good.
