Oil & Gas Windfall Taxes

“I elect we impose the Levy to help cut Bloated Budgets but we must Work together to have a Open Mind.”

“The profit from windfall taxes should be shared with the entire economy”

“As modern society moves away from total reliance on oil and gas, the benefits this situation will provide global economies are far greater than the reverse in the majority of countries.”

“Fossil fuel corporations have done extensive damage to our environment, but the issue lies deeper than the pursuit of profit and moreso in the organization of our economy and enterprises. Taking profits would only serve the State, rather than the people directly.”

“Nous n'allons pas imposé une taxe absurde.”

“We are glad to be the first party voting on this issue, and we strongly support imposing the levy. This will reduce global carbon emissions and provide a stepping stone for a better, greener world.”

“Why would we want to destroy the econmyjd7g”

“When families are struggling to pay their energy bills, those who benefit the most from extraordinary circumstances should make an extraordinary contribution. We therefore support a temporary special tax on extraordinary profits to fund lower energy costs, stronger public services, and a fair transition to clean energy.”

“This will imrpove the economy of our nation”

“Oil and gas are unnatural products of the Industrial Revolution, and thus a symbol of mankind's revolt against God. Therefore, any profit made from it is sinful, evil, and unworthy. To take sinful profit from sinners is immoral, but it is for the greater good, and when done by such an automatically corrupt institution as the government, it is permissible at least and necessary at best. Therefore, the Amish League votes to impose the levy on oil and gas.”

“Price gouging will no longer be tolerated.”

“Profitability is not a crime. We should not punish individual industries.”

“This is not the right time to impose a surcharge. We are in a recession and the oil sector is important to employment.”

“Earning money is perfectly fine, even in exceptional circumstances. There's no reason to introduce a special tax for it.”

“We should impose the levy to ensure oil and gas companies benefiting from extraordinary prices contribute fairly to the public finances. The additional revenue can help ease the burden of high energy costs while supporting households and essential services.”

“Charlemont has one of the largest and fastest growing Oil & Gas industries. If we put a tax on success in our Oil & Gas sector, we would be putting a tax on our future as a whole.”

“Our oil and gas industry does not need to be protected and is also a nuisnce on the environment taxing the industry will have a lot more benefits.”

“Well, a profit has been made, so it is time for them to give back a little. And such 2% will help out economy in this time of bank run”

“Any income now is great for the economic recovery”

“We already have a budget surplus and imposing this levy will wreck our economy”

“Let them have their profits they are making it”

“Profits should be for, and always for, the people”

“government must get the cut to handle the increase in prices until it gets down.”

“Prosperity is only effective when shared. It is obvious that the oil companies that makes tremendous benefits shall contribute to society by paying their fair share of taxes.”

“Impose tax on this corporations. W”

“Finders Keepers is not a valid legal ownership theory, especially for natural resources that are in the public stewardship of all mankind. To profit outrageously from this common good is a grave crime and one that must be repaid to the public.”

“since we don't have an oil sector this is pure profit”

“It is the duty of corporations to serve the interests of the people and of the state, and the reckless exploitation of the Earth is not in the interests of either, but in that of the rich.”

“The People's Unity Front votes to impose the windfall tax because profits shouldn’t be hoarded while people struggle. Oil and gas companies are booking record earnings at a time when energy prices are skyrocketing, forcing families to choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table. These aren’t *earned* gains through innovation or hard work—they’re windfalls from global price spikes. Taking 2% of GDP isn't confiscation; it's justice. It funds healthcare, housing relief, or climate programs that help everyone—not just a few wealthy corporations. We won't punish success—but we *will* demand fairness during crisis.”

“We don't have any oil sector so we vote to impose the levy”

“All profit is theft and must return to the workers.”

“we don't have an oil sector, so the revenue is welcome”

“...................................................”

“It is really a stupidity to break such a huge market because of selfishness from the government.”

“This will bring in vital revenue which can be used in other services such as health and education”

“The State has no business confiscating the fruits of entrepreneurial success under the guise of "excessive" profits. These earnings are precisely what fuels investment, drives innovation, and guarantees our long-term energy security. Yielding to this tax extraction means cheering on our own economic decline and sacrificing the future of our industries on the altar of demagoguery. Let us flatly reject this collectivist drift!”

“We cannot reward good economic behavior of companies with a tax to penalize their very success, creating perverse incentives that harm reinvestment and expansion, costing jobs. Taxes either remain the same or are broadly increased, no precession focused windfalls will be supported by our party.”

“We must reject this confiscatory tax. High profits are not a sin, they are the vital market signal directing investment to cure scarcity. Plundering energy producers' earnings to pad state coffers chokes investment, stalls the industry, and deepens shortages. Governments must not override the market!”

“reasury collects a share of the windfall profits — Producers cut investment and the sector's growth stalls — Income: 2% of GDP for 12 months — Industry: Oil & Gas growth -5 percentage points for 12 months”

“Let the market be free; profits shouldn't be penalized, especially not under the pretext of making a lot of money. No to the tax!”

“It's tough but we can't let the economy suffer.”

“Absolutely, the people keeps suffering while we let the business get away? Impossible”

“The civic democratic coalition supports imposing the levy, as it is genuinely beneficial”

“Impose the levy on the big corporations the”

“This is both extra intake of money thats necessary, plus a necessary halt on the fossil fuel industry”

“New money is always nice! We should do this”

“This windfall will allow us to get a huge sulprus. We need to destroy debt once for all.”

“We approve it, the people will be benefited,”

“Sure we don’t have an oil and gas industry”

“Saxenheim should strengthen its domestic industries, not punish them for succeeding. Energy security is a matter of national security, and weakening investment in the oil and gas sector risks making the nation more dependent on foreign suppliers. The state and industry must work together to build a strong, productive, and self sufficient economy.”

“These profits are not the result of better products or extraordinary innovations. They are the result of a global energy crisis that has forced households and businesses to pay much higher bills. When a handful of companies profit from circumstances in which millions of people are suffering, it is only fair to demand that they make a greater contribution. A temporary special tax takes this distinction into account. It helps fund public services and supports those who have borne the costs of the crisis, while allowing the industry to remain profitable.”

“People should come first! Profits come later”

“The Collective denounces profit hungry oil companies from profiteering at the cost of the working class, pensioners and the environment. Imposing this levy would justly return their profits back to the people, with minimal impact on Solania as we are greatly transitioning towards renewables and don't have a domestic oil and gas industry that would be economically hit by the levy”

“NSDF approves the idea of imposing a levy on the oil & gas industry”

“We should not take any actions that will undermine the sector's growth until alternative sectors are mature enough to bear the burden - imposing a levy will give us a temporary GDP boost, but it will cost us in the long run, especially since the alternative sectors are developing”

“Actions that hurt industry during a recession is a poor idea and proves how opposition parties are not fit to rule”

“We need to make the best we can, for our GDP and people's capita.”

“National Conservative Alliance believes Velinor must protect its long-term economic and energy security. While extraordinary profits may be politically tempting to tax, weakening investment in a strategic sector risks higher costs, fewer jobs and greater dependence on foreign energy. Our responsibility is to Velinor first: sustainable growth and secure energy supplies over short-term revenue.”

“The economic growth would be better and it would mean in 2 months we would have to plug the gap. Further more economic growth will pay off more in the long term”

“LET BIG BUSINESS GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER AND BIGGER”

“We oppose the creation of new taxes and levies”

“Imposing a windfall tax paired with a robust investment allowance represents the most economically balanced decision for a government navigating an energy crisis. Surging energy prices act as a regressive tax on households and businesses, while record corporate profits stem primarily from geopolitical market shocks rather than operational innovation or increased risk-taking. A windfall levy directly captures this unearned revenue to fund urgent cost-of-living subsidies and stabilize the broader economy. Crucially, structuring the tax with clear reinvestment relief gives energy producers a choice: deploy their capital directly into domestic energy production and clean transition projects, or pay the tax. This mechanism prevents windfall revenues from being diverted solely into stock buybacks and executive bonuses, capturing excess profits to protect vulnerable citizens today while maintaining active incentives for long-term domestic energy security.”
