Windfall profits taxes would do NOTHING to lower gas prices. It would result in shortages as the oil companies peddle their product OUTSIDE the United States where their profits aren't under attack by the government.

The only "fix" for high prices is to increase the supply of oil...preferably from domestic sources that aren't already running full tilt to try to keep up with current demand. The demand side of the equation is doing nothing but going up. The "renewable" BS is unreliable and thus far a serious detriment to our food prices and supplies.
