Oppose? Damned well better not even let it come up. All revenue bills must ORIGINATE in the House. Who controls the House?
oh, Sure the Republicans are gong to oppose something....(eye roll)
Carbon taxes are just “stupid country” taxes. The smart countries like China are building a new coal-fired power plant or two every week. The stupid countries like Obama’s America are shutting their coal power plants down. The stupid voters in Ohio (over 80% of their electricity comes from coal) just voted to keep doing that for four more years. Of course some of my stupid neighbors in Virginia voted for Obama as well and I will remind them of that vote each time our electric rates go up.
I hope this Carbon Tax isn’t a straw dog that Obama withdraws in place of higher taxes on the 1%.
They better. That is one of the most evil ideas ever. Carbon tax...
If we’re going to have a carbon tax we ought to have a carbon tariff as well. A ton of Chinese CO2 presumably has the same effect on global warming as a ton of American CO2.
yeah....doubt that
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Thursday reiterated that a carbon tax isnt on the White House to-do list. We would never propose a carbon tax, and have no intention of proposing one, he said.
Of course not. nobama will just have a lackey write an EO making the carbon tax the law of the land. The House of Representatives be damned. nobama doesn't need their approval.
And the count-down clock to the cave starts . . .
Whats in store for climate change policy in Obamas second term?
