It's true, energy companies have been profitable lately...to the tune of an 8.3% profit in 2021. Yup, the only segment worse than energy was consumer staples with a profit margin of 6.6%. Yet here we are talking about windfall profits. In this episode we break down this proposal and how it is not only not a profits tax but will have the exact opposite effect on energy prices than what is intended.
