Historical over taxing Business has created less job, less reinvestment to expand or even pay into benefits as in health care, workers comp etc. This is just a pandering to the base. Adding more taxes to businesses always has a circular effect. The consumer then takes on that burden in higher costs.
Don't you love rich politicians telling you how to live but taking no responsibility themselves.

I just blasted her...I said I never remember hearing the term excess profits when I was taking accounting in college. I also said why do the oil companies owe us to find alt energy solutions? They are oil companies. Let the next great company or individual come along and develop and market alt energy solutions.

maybe it's the excessive earnings she has from her oil company investments. :) How about looking beyond that and seeing she's reaching out to the Masses for info on a topic that most people consider important rather than finding fault.

Dems equate big business with rich people. they are not the same. Businesses don't pay taxes. the taxes business pays are paid for by you and me in the price of goods. IF Hillary taxes oil companies say hello to $10.00 per gal. gas prices.

Hillary's candidacy proves that there's such a thing as Political Royalty in America and that we have to kick these self appointed Nobles out of public office.

Democrats don't hate successful people. Hillary herself is a successful person. So is Bill. You know who is not a successful person? George W. Bush! The most spectacuarly failed President ever! Even Herbert Hoover didn't start out with more, although he ended up with less.

Disagree, especially since the oil companies make obscene profits

TOTALLY DISAGREE! Democrats hate the continuous tax breaks that fatten the wealth of successful people at the sacrifice of the over-taxed, hard-working individual.
