And when they realize that all of the freaking “Caps And Trades” are going to the likes of AlGore and the rest of the elites, nothing will happen because the evil Rush Limbaugh will ne responsible for the energy pigs and it is all his fault, according to the CNN/NY Times Poll...
Will the poor get credits to offset all the increased costs due to taxing carbon?
The people in Britain finally turned on the Labour Party, when similar schemes were implemented there, so don’t be too dispirited.
That’s what I’m saying, the poor wont pay anything extra. The Rats will include some kind of credit (just like the heating credit now)so they don’t have to pay $hit.
The poor will get redistributed money to pay their energy bills.
Cap-and-trade is based on a hoax and is 100% thievery.
The only thing “green” Obama, Browner and Gore desire is the “greenback.”
The peasants, forced to live in city slums, will be herded into the cattle cars known as buses while the intellectual effete elite run about in their hybrid limos from their country dachas to the academy.
I find it very annoying that most of the morons living in this country are not smart enough to figure out what is going to happen when their DemocRAT pals slap this Cap and Tax scam onto their monthly energy bill.
Folks if this crap passes it'll be what the shot heard around the world was to the American Revolution.
There won't be any money for the credits, and the middle class and regular rich aren't going to pay more. But Obama and the Dems will keep blaming the energy companies and Republicans and I'm afraid the poor are going to lap it up. What concerns me though is a lot of blacks living in inner-cities are going to get hit the hardest, and let me tell you from first-hand experience blacks do not eff around when their heat goes out in the winter.
This is simply a way to funnel billions of dollars through Washington on its way to the people in the form of a rebate. Problem is - it takes $8.00 in taxes/fees to send $1.00 to the people. The other $7.00 get stuck in Washington to pay for the bureaucracy.
Hell, Obama will have that accomplished in four months at the rate he's going.
I have been looking for something like your post for a long time! THANKS!
What a message it would send if we could get 100 million Americans to put Impeach Obama bumper stickers on their cars.
I don’t think I can survive a full four years of this treasonous communist scum.
INTREP
G’night all!
If the poor get other folks money to pay for the increase in utility bills, that alleviates part of the political problem for the Obamites. You’re quite likely correct.
However, as you’re aware as well, taxing carbon will result in a whole string of costs, visible and invisible, to the economy.
I wonder if it is to complex a communications task to point out that energy cost increases are just the tip of the iceberg - for everyone.
thanks for your replies...
A lot of people think Al Gore is crazy—he's crazy all the way to the bank. He's on the board of Google and other Fortune 500 outfits. David Blood and Goldman Sachs helped Gore turn his Climate Crusade into a billion-dollar cash cow. About a year ago they linked up with Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers where Gore was made a limited partner for “green” development.
KPCB is a Silicon Valley venture capital that has made billions by investing in the right start-ups. (One deal to buy 10 percent of Google in 1999 for $50 million is now worth about $10 billion.)
Gore and Blood last summer bought a 10 percent stake in Camco—a UK-based carbon credit trader and broker. Just prior to that they talked the financial board of the Church of England into investing $250 million in Generation.
The industrial slump in Europe has shrunk the value of EU carbon credits. Some analysts have warned that the whole market could collapse. Gore and Blood expect Obama and Congress to impose cap-and-trade on U.S. industry. This will lead to an emission-allowance coupon market that can be merged with the global market and give Gore and Blood an immense captive market.
Beyond that, Gore has positioned himself to be the primary arbitrator between U.S. industry and the federal government in a cap-and-trade America. Simultaneously he can sell carbon credits, rake in huge consulting fees, get paid $100,000 for a forty-minute rant on polar bears, and be a beloved celebrity and Nobel laureate.
Below is a list 2008 news stories about Generation Investment Management from their website:
2 October—Ausra Secures $US 60.6 Million in Funding
17 September—Generation Invests in New Resource Bank
8 September—UK Environment Agency Appoints Generation as Fund Manager
18 July—Gore Seeks 100% Green Energy
4 June—Green Firm Camco Gets Blood and Gore Investment
3 June—Never a Need to Sacrifice Returns
1 May—Generation Raises $683m Climate Fund
30 April—Generation Investment Management to Take Stake in New Forests
11 March—Al Gore's Fund Nears $5 billion
You can see the “green” is about the greenback.
Along with all the IPCC propaganda the UN has estimated that “greenhouse gas” associated with all domestic animal production exceeds that of the entire world transportation sector (trains, planes, cars, trucks, ships, etc.). True “Greens” eat little or no meat and don't weigh as much as Marlon Brando. I know for a fact Al Gore is addicted to hickory-smoked, barbecued pork.
Where is the news media on all this—publishing and broadcasting the press releases of doomsday Chicken Littles.
Blood and Gore?!? Hello this is a SIGN FROM GOD!!!
