Ken Blackwell has a very interesting piece for the Buckeye Institute that includes this very valuable nugget:

Speaking of profits, don't buy into this tax-the-company mentality. If people want to criticize how much oil executives are paid, that's one thing. But the profits go to you and me. Almost two-thirds of oil-company stock is owned by mutual funds and pension funds. That means taxing those profits would decrease the return on your 401k or IRA. And most of those pension funds serve union members. So taxing those profits would hurt middle- and working-class Americans. That's unacceptable.

When Democrats want to tax the oil industry out of business, they are targetting YOUR retirement...
