In a free market, a Republican administration doesn't bailout Bear Stearns with $30 billion dollars in taxpayer cash. In a free market, Exxon Mobil would be required to follow the same tax rules every other corporation in this country receives.

I'm against the windfall tax, I believe everyone should be treated the same (from the big oil companies to the small laundromat). But lets not act that our economy is even close to a free market. Neither party stands for it and neither party will.
