RE:Windfall taxThe Europeans, like governments everywhere, thnk they can do a lot of things which reality proves they cannot. Don't assume that because they were able to agree over Ukraine (to even their own surprise) that they will be able to come to any agreement about how this ill thought out propsal could be anything except a total abortion. Remember, unlike Ukraine, they will not have America on their side, so I don't see any proposal going anywhere. Right now Europe needs America and this propsal is anti-American interests.
