Profit windfalls, Statistical Abstract, Lou & Mises, OpenOffice resource
Profits as a percentage of sales:
Microsoft 28.5%
Adobe 26.6%
Goldman Sachs 23.1%
Exxon 11.5%
So let me get this straight... we want to have a windfall profits tax on.... Exxon?
The Commerce Department has published the 2007 U.S. Statistical Abstract, one of the most fascinating documents for data geeks ever produced. It's got something for everyone, and has lots of international data. Sections are downloadable as PDFs.

Good article titled "Lou Dobbs Thinks You're a Fool" on the Mises economics site.
