Lets get real what will taxing "bigoil" really do for the price of gas? Answer, nothing.
But, what if their were a windfall profits tax on things in the spirit of how the democrats hiked the tax on the tabacoo industry? I have a few ideas for that. We spend alot of money in the government on edjucation and on womens and childrens services, do we not? What if we transfered all of that money to bridges and roads? Now stay with me, then place a windfall profits tax on the adult entertainment and the R&B music that promotes poor lifestyle choices (anything with an explicit lirics label). We use the money collected to finance the schools and family services and we would never run out of money or hear about raising those taxes again.
Oh and we could lower gas prices $.50+ a gallon in most states and have better roads.
