CrAP & TRADE

I heard Nancy Pelosi scream victoriously at the passing of this "Sh*t bill" according to Congressman Boehner. What does this mean to me? From what I have been able to glean from reading news bits and pieces, this bill is a tax on energy use based on the false assumption that global warming is indeed happening as caused by humans. Simply stated, we consumers are going to be taxed when we emit CO2, when we use electricity, when we run our cars, when we breath in and out. Farmers will pay taxes when their cows emit flatulence, when they use their mechanized farm implements, and when they grow certain crops. Utility companies will be taxed heavily for using coal. Manufacturing firms will have to lessen their use of energy so that they don't emit so much CO2.

Good Lord! In this case, what will happen to America, the most industrialized country in the world? Are we going to turn into a land of languishing factories, farms allowed to lay fallow, a land of bicycle riders and street walkers? Will utility companies be able to survive such Draconian tax increases for them to operate? How will consumers afford to pay for their utility bills? How will this legislation affect the jobless rate? How will this legislation of more taxes help revive the economy?

And back to the most fundamental root cause for this tax bill - global warming - isn't this the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? Clearly this administration thinks that today's American people are the dumbest they have ever seen. Why should the administration think otherwise when the general public remains silent even as they are being sodomized by the administration and Congress? Where is the outrage people?
