Cap and TAX (Trade) needs to be STOPPED!
« on: June 25, 2009, 11:20:45 AM »
Maximum Berry is doing a smoke and mirrors trick on us.  He has us focused on Obama-Care as a result of last nights ABC infomercial while Congress is debating Cap and TAX (Trade).

Take a look at this Wall Street Journal article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123655590609066021.html#articleTabs%3Dcomments

The article wraps up saying:

“Cap and trade, in other words, is a scheme to redistribute income and wealth -- but in a very curious way. It takes from the working class and gives to the affluent; takes from Miami, Ohio, and gives to Miami, Florida; and takes from an industrial America that is already struggling and gives to rich Silicon Valley and Wall Street "green tech" investors who know how to leverage the political class.”

Contact your Representative and Senators and tell them to reject Cap and TAX!

Mid West is going to get it worst. You are going to freeze in the dark if Obama has his way.

I am chair of our municipal utility (electricity, water and sewer).  We have been watching this coming for a long time, and no one in the industry is fighting it very hard.  It is nothing but a tax, and the tree huggers don't seem to get it.  This is nothing but a giant tax on everyone ... except those that "play" the green game.  Those that play will get a good portion of this tax, but it will cost everyone.  Oh, and did I state that the renewables and green energy this is supposed to expand is all being developed over seas.  So, we are going to double, at best, our energy costs and send it to China and India.

We are also facing many other issues in Minnesota that are even worse and just going to compound the problem.

Bend over and take it like a man ...

I suggest that you bring your own KY, because I guarantee that theirs has sand and broken glass in it.

News report just over the radio says the cost is estimated to be only $175 per household ... "Only $175 per household."  This is an average.  That means that nationwide for heat, A/C, cooking and electricity it will average $175 per year or $14.60 per month.  What does that translate to in the northern tier where we heat?  What does it mean for the average American wihen manufacturers and retailers start to add the cost to their pricing?  What does it mean with the Governement starts to pay these higher rates and looks to more taxes rather than cost cuts?  What does it mean with the tree huggers have candy coated this by 50% and it really costs $22.00 per month?  What does it mean when all these higher costs and "taxes" hit the overall economy?

The wife and I try to take a weekly evening out.  In the summer we do a bike ride, and the 95 mile round ride to bike night or roll in, a couple burgers and pop costs us just under $20 a week - all inclusive (fuel, food and an ice cream stop on the way home).  So, what does $15 to $20 a month mean to the average American ... for us it could be a fun evening out is cut.  For others it will most likely be something more important cut.

This kind of crap flies because to many people bought the CO2 causes global warming lie.

Cap and Trade is just another lame liberal excuse, based on pseudoscience, to futher grow big government, to further increase regulations and to further tax us into oblivion.

It accomplishes nothing, other to expand federal power and to increase federal revenue that they can continue to spend unwisely.
“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
