90% tax on oil companies

It amazes me that so many of you are in favor of a 90% tax, unless you want to destroy the military and oil companies.

First, you would have no new investment in the industries, for no sane person would risk money knowing that 90% of possible profits would be taxed.

Second, you would receive less tax revenue. For no same executive would show a profit. He or she would spend any potential profit by buying other assets. And those assets would not be to bring down the cost of production, for any savings gained would lost in taxes. No, they would buy real estate, or non-military and non-oil related companies. Things they could sell once the tax is reduced.
