Back in time to the South in the 1950's. Counting other people's money, and noticing what they own. Jealously and hatred. Assaults and murders. Arrests obviously based on skin color.
Having been employed by the FBI, I reviewed Rap Sheets that were sent in from all over America. We saw that charge a lot...only from Southern states. But, fortunately and for the most part, the South has overcome. The elected people in the southern states today do not publicly say the racist things that George Wallace and others often said, which were always hateful towards Black and Brown people.
But Southern Democrats today, like all Democrats today, espouse the same amount of hatred towards different groups of people, without regard to skin color. Their hated groups include big business, small business, oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, and, last but not least, "Rich people." Counting the money of these "enemies" unceasingly. After all, "nobody should get ahead unless we all get ahead."
"Windfall profits tax" is intended to incite hatred against the people from whom "excessive taxes should be imposed," a concept which caught fire in 2008 when Candidate Obama made a celebrity out of innocent bystander, Joe the Plumber, just because Joe asked why excessive taxes should be imposed against working Americans with more than $250,000 annual income. Obama's answer, paraphrased, was "because that's how socialism works."
During the first week of November 2022, Biden is not only publicly hating oil companies with "windfall profits tax," but also US pharmaceuticals. Both groups of workers/Taxpayers deserve respect, NOT EXCESSIVE TAXATION. We recall that during his first three months in office, Plugs Biden announced that he was thinking about giving away, to other nations, the registered Covid patents of America's pharmaceuticals. We suspect the threat was not carried out, but if it was, and since it might involve clandestine activities with other nations, his lawyer-son Hunter would have gotten into the action, as he did a few years ago in Ukraine.
