Democrats want to create a “Reasonable Profits Board” for the oil and gas industry:

Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a “Reasonable Profits Board” to control gas profits. 

The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a “windfall profit tax” as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.

This is a joke, right? Tell me Democrats just read Atlas Shrugged and thought it would be a funny little joke to pull. Please?

No? Oh, right. I forgot that our parties decided to play a game of “Who Can be More Fucking Crazy?!” Looks like both parties are winning.
