A bit off topic, but:

According to this article, O's "stimulus package" will be in part funded by a windfall tax on big oil. I am still struggling to understand his logic on this one. “Obama simply asks that big oil companies contribute a reasonable share of the windfall profits they receive from high oil prices over the next five years to pay for emergency assistance for families right now,” the campaign says. A "reasonable share" according to whom? Should companies with higher profit margins also contribute to this stimulus package?
