<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The Democrats want to set up a board that would apply a &quot;windfall profit tax&quot; as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation.

Unlike other bills setting up advisory boards, the Reasonable Profits Board would not be made up of any nominees from Congress.</span><br />
