American Idol: boring; Windfall profits: bad idea

Reviews start here.


Let me explain something:



If you invest $100, and you earn $10. you have earned 10% return on your investment,'



If you invest $100 000 and you earn $10,000, you have earned 10% percent on your investment,



If you invest $100 billion, and you earn $1o billion, that is a 10% of your investment.



So when congress talks about a windfall tax on oil companies, remember this: They invested $100B to make $10B. That is not windfall profit. That is conservative investment



Check out the earnings profits of pharmaceuticals and banks. They earn on average %20 percent on their investments.



Earning $10B is not windfall. It is a conservative return on investment. If Congress decides to tax the oil companies on so-called windfall profits, they will just stop drilling.

Stop being dependent on foreign oil:


Gladly - Let them drill off of Florida, California. and North Alaska.

Meanwhile, enjoy your SUVs!
