Stealing Profits

A strategic energy fund to jumpstart research?

I believe that Mrs. Clinton should take a look at the oil company's budgets already for researching cleaner energy sources.

In her speech, she called for the government to "take profits" from oil companies in order to create her so called "strategic energy fund". Since when does a capitalist economy take profits from its companies? ExxonMobil, for one example, has 9% profit margins, and that's supposed to be way too high?? I wonder how many percent the Clinton's portfolio earned last year. I'm guessing it was about double that.

I'm anxious to see how many votes this will swing over to Obama when the polls come out next week. This is just the stuff that's driving people in her own party away from her.
