      They might try, but that didn’t happen when Nixon passed a windfall tax in the 70’s.

      And, even so, it’s a good thing to make corruption more inconvenient, and a windfall tax wouldn’t just help fix inflation, it would send a huge message to Corporate America.

      But this is all a pipe dream. The Federal Government is an oligarchy, not a democracy.
