A windfall profits tax on the oil companies could pay for Obama's proposed health care in addition to his proposed New Energy for America Plan. After all, despite the increase in oil and the reduction of driving and conservation, these companies continue to set one profit record after another. Contrary to popular belief and what is taught in economic text books, one would think that a business shouldn't make a profit with a reduction in sales. So, how would a company make a profit despite reduction of sales and increased cost basis? Hey, raising the price could be an option.

Bottom line is since these profits were unforeseen, then they should be considered windfall and it shouldn't impact these companies. Any thoughts?

A new study commissioned by the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs recommends a complete ban on tobacco, which would end tobacco sales on military bases and prohibit smoking by anyone in uniform, not even combat troops in the thick of battle.
