But oil companies are already subject to a windfall tax, bringing their total tax on profits to 78%? If the author's complaint is that oil companies are making too much profits, failing to mention this is a massive omission, but perhaps that's not too surprising coming from an organization called "left foot forward". It sounds like their problem is less that oil companies are making too much profits, and more that they exist at all.
