Oh this is so smart and such a great policy, because you know, this is how they do it in Europe. And you know recent research from the “Institute of How Much Better Europe is than the USA” rates European economies much higher in terms of tax policy related to energy and saving the environment.

Never be friends with an Odumbo voter.

I'll be cutting my ties with most Obama voters that I know, and that includes a couple of family members. I won't be able to avoid them completely, of course, but I will not go out of my way to stay in touch with them. Sorry, but I can't throw in with stupidity.

“Never be friends with an Odumbo voter.”

Agreed. Life is too short to have to suffer those idiots.

Since the House will never introduce such a TAX bill, with this a$$hat just write an Extra-Constitutional Executive Order? I beleive all revenue bills must originate in the House. President Obama sees voter mandate on taxes

AND what will the Congress do about it?

What they’ve basically admitted to is the whole Global Warming scam really IS about money.

Obama won’t tax *us* because it’s more convenient to their agenda to tax corporations. You see, if companies pass the costs onto us, then we become disgruntled with corporations, not the government. Thus creates a divide between the citizenship and big business. Government comes out smelling like a rose, bailing out the “little guy” and the “working man” against those oppressive rich corporation folk. Make business the enemy...then you win.

Obama may levy tax?? So much for the constitution, yet again.

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives;...(going on to allow the Senate limited power).

I guess it would work that way if you were mentally retarded enough to believe it.

And Democrats are, they elected this stinking sack of POO.

They count on the mental in-capabilities of their constituency. And it’s why it’s worked for the past 4 years.

Well you saw what happened yesterday - I would say over 50% of the voters are stupid. I still cannot get my arms around anyone wanting another four years of this misery?
