Exxon - Record Profits (Again for 2006) - $39.5 billion...

"Exxon reported annual profit of $39.5 billion, or $6.62 a share, for 2006 — its second consecutive annual record. Once again, the profit was the largest reported by any American company in history."

1. Windfall profits tax

We'll recover some of their filthy lucre, just as we did when they got too damn greedy back in the seventies.

2. So what, I will have to amend my return after a WPT is passed?

And pay more for taxes on royalties from last year? That's what they did in the 70's, severance tax, income tax and then 6 or 7 months later WPT.

3. agreed. WPT is the way to go...

These companies should pay for the gouging they inflicted against hard working people.

4. Well, maybe now they can pay the fine for the oil spill from the

EXXON Valdez (how many years ago was that)?

A federal judge already cut it in half. Or would that put them in financial trouble??????
