There are many articles going around concerning the Carbon Tax. I don't discount these because they are hitting Facebook and many of the questionable sources, because while I was on our local Utility Commission we heard this was coming.
Our government, with a heavy lead by V.P. Gore is following/working with the United Nations to inflict carbon penalties on us as citizens to change our habits. Their plan is to eliminate nearly all conventional electric generation (coal, natural gas, and fuel oils) to stop climate change. There is some talk in the U.S. concerning nuclear, but Europe won't sign on to that, because they have a very good history with nuclear.
Our nation is also attacking water usage. There is a strong push to set thresholds for what they consider correct usage, and to increase fees (your water price will just increase, but your utility will pay taxes based on your "wasteful" use). This is also in electric as well. Electric utilities are mandated by federal law to reduce usage, and they, you, pay to help with conservation.
My reason for this is that we are looking at models of how our government uses behavior modification through negative reward to mold us. Look at tobacco: They changed our view of smoking from cool or relaxing to "gross, rude, and stupid". They conducted this campaign by means of heavy taxation on tobacco to fund the movement - Smokers paid for the attack on themselves!
We have seen attempts at financial penalties on firearms and our Second Amendment protections. We even have several in affect that most do not recognize. While it is important to pay attention to the major moves, more damage is done behind the scenes quietly by agencies through added rules and fees that don't need legislative action or even notifications. These just show up, and the either increase prices or close businesses down.
We need to quit looking at all the new and fancy regulations coming down the pipeline, and we need to fight to repeal those inflicted on us over the past century. Let's go back to the '30's and do away with the law we let slip in that says these things are bad unless you pay us a couple hundred dollars, or the '60's when we let them tell us we need expensive licenses and approval to operate business. For years I have told people to look at the big picture, show me anyone of these actions/laws that made any difference in the use of firearms in crime. Everyone of these measures that stripped our constitutional protections was actually tied to another crime reduction measure that is what caused the drop - '30's: Act addressed certain firearms, but it also had large organized crime crackdowns included that went after the actor.
That is enough introduction for debate, and more than most of us with our ADHD and lead poisoning can handle in one setting.
