Not quite as one of our fine candidates proposed, as this cut-and-paste from the grouchyoldcripple explains:

Y'know, I think Thunder Rodent Thighs is right. We do need a windfall profits tax, though not on the oil companies. We need it on the Clintons. They made over $109 million over the last seven years and in Thunder Rodent Thighs own words "They're not inventing anything new.... You set a baseline and, above that baseline, you begin to tax their profits."

Let's see, BJ gets paid some obscene amount of money every time he makes a speech. He's not "inventing anything new". It's prolly pretty much the same speech over and over again. Let's set his baseline at $25K. The rest goes to gummint. Hows that Thunder Rodent Thighs? How d'ya like them apples?

They both wrote books. There was some creativity involved since they were mostly works of fiction, but there's not much new there. They're not "inventing anything new", just the same old Clinton lies, so let's set the baseline at $100K. The rest of the "obscene profits" should go to the gummint.

I'm kinda liking this windfall profits thing.

And while I'm on this, Thunder Rodent Thighs has been campaigning for over a year. It's become a full time job. Her Senate salary is a windfall profit. She certainly isn't doing her job as a senator. Her baseline is zero. Cough it up Thunder Rodent Thighs. Give your salary back to the gummint. You too Jug Hussein Ears. And you too McRINO. You three were elected to serve in the Senate, not to run for president. I really think that since running for president is a full time job, anyone doing it should resign from the House or Senate before running, or at least give their salary back to the gummint since they sure ain't earning it.

It's a windfall profit. Give it back.
