CAP the damn oil PROFITS now!!
That means that the companies will not "lose" money now they will just not make as much. They were already making exorbitant profits before the hurricane.

2. There was a guy who called Schultz
a couple of weeks ago and said something to the effect that oil company execs were doing just fine when oil was $50 a barrel. He said now is more or less overkill, because they can. This guy supposedly worked in the oil industry. I believed him.

3. I didn't even know there was such a thing!
Has a profits tax ever happened before?

Heck - if this were a just world, there would be such caps on gas, munitions, etc etc
