USA Today on Oil Taxes

USA Today has an editorial that is pretty harsh on President Obama's effort to raise taxes on oil companies. The newspaper calls it "a one-act piece of political theater" and writes, "the initiative is also government at its arbitrary worst, further complicating the tax code by singling out five companies — ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Shell and BP — for special taxes not paid by smaller energy concerns, or by similar companies in other industries."
