Detroit — This week’s “The Business of Plugging In” electric vehicle gabfest in Motown was a Who’s Who of powerful Big Auto execs, Big Green honchos, and Big Government officials — but it was the power of the American consumer that had all of them gnashing their teeth.
In the conference’s final panel discussion, Kleiner Perkins partner and green zealot Ray Lane worried about how to force a carbon tax on Americans when we have to deal “with the four-year election cycle.” Fellow panelist and Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (who insists on calling her state tax hikes “investments”) blurted out: “Ya gotta call it something else!”
Honesty is the best policy? Not for Greens.

Ya gotta admit it though, it’s a pretty smart idea to think up the idea to
LIE to us lemmings huh? Sarcasm on
beginning to think Hanging a few of these idiots from a street light might not be a bad idea! Sarcasm off
“Ya gotta admit it though, it’s a pretty smart idea to think up the idea to LIE to us lemmings huh?”
Actually, the real brilliance is in bragging about it in public just so the lemmings know who’s in charge...
Call it something else?
Ok. How ‘bout National Socialism?
