If Senator Obama can forsee skyrocketing energy costs being passed onto the American consumer due to his cap and trade plan, why can't he forsee the damage his tax plan will do to the American economy? His tax plan instantly increases the tax burden on corporations and small businesses. No amount of money he can redistribute will be able to offset the rising costs of goods and services that will be passed on to the American consumer. This is basic economics. Corporations do not pay taxes! They are passed on to the consumer. To take all this free capital and funnel it through an even greater Washington bureaucracy would prove catastrophic to this economy! -ObamaHood.org

....why can’t he forsee the damage his tax plan will do to the American economy?
:::::::::::::
Because that truth does not sound good...he cannot say that. His socialism will not last very long. And hopefully he will be so crazy that impeachment will come equally fast....I am afraid the American public has a huge lesson to learn and that lesson is going to cost America dearly and hurt deeply.

He won’t be able to do this. The economy will completely tank and he’ll buckle under the pressure.

Hopefully, this is just an academic exercise and BO will go down to a bewildering defeat tomorrow.

Because Obama’s heros taught him that you destroy them system from within and all the good little proleteriats are partying like its 1917. Except of course they forgot, that in the end, everyone who had enough to eat was labeled a Kulak.

Here's the biggest hypocrisy of all. BO has been endorsed by United Mine Workers Association President Cecil Roberts. What a crock! The UMWA union is nothing more than a PAC for the Democratic Party. In another puzzling move in 2000, Roberts endorsed Al Gore for president. Yes, the same environmental wacko Al Gore who said in his book “Earth in the Balance” that coal mining would have to end. Roberts and the UMWA would endorse whoever the Democratic nominee is, no matter what the consequences are for coal miners or the coal industry as a whole. He would endorse Mickey Mouse if he were on the ticket. Roberts, you have absolutely no credibility whatsoever. Absolutely none.

Back in the 80’s I visited the Soviet Union. The way they dealt with this sort of problem was by having multiple families living in one small apartment. No big deal, right?

Obama has came right out and said “I will increase taxes”, “I will increase utility costs”, “You will be forced to make sacrifices” and yet people are excited to vote for him. I keep saying that like I’m shocked or something.

“”Under my plan of a cap and trade system...”

Also known as Communism, Socialism, Marxism, whatever. It simply means everyone not a government elite is a slave.

You’re wasting your time: the union members have the blinders securely in place on the sides of their rose-colored glasses.

They never notice when their union leaders rob them blind - how could they notice what Obama plans to do to them?

It really helps the loyalty thing if a union member is illiterate...

There's nothing wrong with "cap and trade" in principle (the idea began with free-market economist, Ronald Coase), as long as the cap is not made unreasonably low. Of course, setting the cap unreasonably low is Obama's plan.
