excellent question!
I suggest there be hearings to explore that, and that the american citizens propose a tax on the taxers.
They ought to return part of their “windfall” back to the citizens to help us pay for our upcoming heating bills.

Normally, you can multiply the net income X 3 to get the government's portion of the pie. In this case the government probably collected about $35 billion dollars....talk about a windfall profit!!!
