The ONLY good thing about such a plan is that a “carbon” tax is spread across the ENTIRE population and is not “progressive”
Heston on the beach... CLASSIC!!
[Mr. Obama would have the government use most of the revenues for relief to families to offset higher utility bills and related expenses.]
Actually, Obama plans to pay the utility bills for his voters.
DITTO! Maybe when people's utility bills double under The One, they'll finally wake up, ammo up, and join up!
How about a tax on bean eaters gas..........
And we wonder why we don’t have any manufacturing left in USA?
By the time they get done "fixing" the economy, inflation will make the $30 the equivalent of $.30.
Besides, I gotta pay for some un-qualified buyers' mortgages, ya know?
It is not about pollution it is about taxing working people who pay their bills.
Business taxes are great, they are hidden from the public, but the public pays them and blames the company.
Just another cowardly tax by socialists like Zero.
It is nothing but pure EVIL.
The US Federal government may not survive the Obama Presidency. The American Empire certainly won’t.
This is just an excuse to tax the air we breathe. It used to be a joke to suggest a tax on air was on the way.
People get monumentally ticked off about their power bills. Sort of like how people get out of proportion mad about stamps going up 2 cents, but don’t seem to be as passionate about pouring money down a hole in bailouts.
The key to this will be where the rebates fall by income level. This isn’t like how they keep the taxes out of your paycheck so most never write the check. It will be a big shock to see a power bill doubled.
I would think a lawsuit based on the Global Warming rationale (Fraud) would be opened up by this. I would also like to see a group of states band together and make a states rights case and protect the Power Company in those states. For example, if you could get the states serviced by Southern Company to get together (Alabama, Georgia etc) and create a constitutional issue over it. This is going to kill the coal burning utilities. I am no constitutional scholar so perhaps there isn’t an opening, but the coal based states are going to be in a major uproar if this goes through.
Why would I pay over 50% to a government run by socialists when all of the lazy scumbags who voted for this marxist aren't paying a dime?
I'm pretty sure this marxist animal can get this through without congress.
The congress is window dressing for a crypto-muslim dictator.
Call Him What He Is!!
Only people who kill can change history.
I think you might be right.
