I know of no regular person anywhere who's pension is invested in an oil company.

So you're happy with $525Billion in profits to go to these huge companies whilst you and the average American/citizen struggle to pay for petrol, food and medical insurance?
I'm not saying tax the arse out of them 25% isn't unreasonable, that would still give them profits of $393.75 Billion and $131.25 Billion that could go towards health insurance or another stimulus package or better still, start paying off the $400Billion federal defecit that's accumulated under Bush.
