The Opinionated Bastard

I had a weird thought today.

Ok, so lets say Obama gets elected. Let's say he implements some political pandering nonsense like say, a windfall profits tax to punish those evil oil companies, for well, making money.

So Silicon Valley has a conniption, because most software companies make something like 65% profit. If this so called windfall profits tax was too broad, you could just bulldoze Silicon Valley. So they make an exemption for technology companies.

So Exxon buys Microsoft so they can avoid the tax.
