Co-Sponsor S.4111/H.R.7960: Windfall Profits Tax for Long-Term Relief, Not a Gas Tax Holiday

Co-sponsor and vote yes on the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax (S.4111/H.R.7960), introduced by Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Khanna. Americans are already paying $200 million more per day at the pump because of this war. A gas tax holiday is a band-aid — it hands money to oil companies and evaporates the moment it expires. We need structural relief that lasts.
Fossil fuel exporters are set to pocket roughly $1 billion more per week while families stretch their budgets. A windfall profits tax would redirect those war-inflated gains back to the people absorbing the cost. Analysis of a similar post-Ukraine invasion tax shows it could have delivered around $1,715 per household. That's real money. Support S.4111/H.R.7960 and make the industry pay for the windfall they didn't earn.
