“Friday’s proposal says Obama ‘is proposing to offset the cost of his emergency energy rebates over the next five years by enacting a windfall profits tax on big oil companies.’”

“’Obama simply asks that big oil companies contribute a reasonable share of the windfall profits they receive from high oil prices over the next five years to pay for emergency assistance for families right now,’ the campaign says.’”
