   No, it has nothing whatsoever to do with Socialism.

   Yes it most certainly is. And anyone who has any understanding of economics should know that it’s a bad idea. Besides, there is no legitimate way to decide what is windfall. Perahaps there could be an exception, but windfall profits taxes are usually an emotional/political response to a problem that should be dealt with logically.

   Yes, it does lead to socialism. No it would not lead to another. A windfall profit tax is just another re-distribution vehicle for the left.

   No. Go back to school and learn what socialism is.

   no. the cold war is over. get over it.

   (besides, all of our other socialized public services like medicare, the police, fire stations, schools, and the post office have already snowballed to make the US like the biggest commie country on the block, right?)

   It is merely lip service. Anytime a tax is proposed, an exception will be written in later to shield the targetted party. A scam.

   I think it’s a step in that direction, and bad for our economy. The last time Carter did it, it made inflation jump 22%.

   I don’t know. How do you feel about enormous government subsidies going to companies making record profits? Is that industrial socialism?

   Yes it is a step towards communism not socialism

    Yes. Punishing the successful businesses for working hard and earning their money is wrong. I wouldn’t want to pay enormous taxes that will support 100 people on [dishonest] welfare for a year. Besides, if I wanted to donate my money to charities, I would do so!

    It isnt a step towards socialism, it is socialism. This windfall profits tax exposes Obama for the idiot he is and how anyone can vote for him is beyond me.

    I thought we already had that…..Un-earned income tax.

    USA is already socialist.
