I don't know enough about economics and banking laws and such to know whether the big "bail out" plan is the best way to deal with our nation's current financial crisis.

Sebastian Mallaby is one such pundit.
Hey, I've got an idea that might help a little. How about a Windfall Profits Tax on former execs and investors who walked away with zillions when their companies went under?
