Dennis Vogel responds:

It is probable that we need to return to the early '70s and the windfall
profit
tax laws. A lot of this price gouging would disappear if there were no
extra
profits made.

Bwaaa ha ha! That's a good one. Got any more?

Don't expect anyone in Washington to give a rat's
ass about windfall profits and price gouging. They
think that's just the market at work. Bwaaa ha ha!

Dunno, but if memory serves, Nixon was the one who introduced the windfall
profits regulations during our first, greatest gas crisis (another invention of
our Middle Eastern buddies).

Hard to believe, isn't it?
