"Businesses don’t own the sky, the public does, and if we want them to stop polluting it, we have to put a price on all pollution."

False Premise.....

CO2 IS NOT POLLUTION, IT IS A NATURAL GAS.

And not even the public owns the sky. It doesn't belong to anyone.

Since companies would pass their costs on to customers, Mr. Obama would have the government use most of the revenues for relief to families to offset higher utility bills and related expenses.

This has to be the most stupid thing I have heard from him yet.....

.....Take the money away from the consumer so you can give it back to offset the higher cost....

HUH?

Obama to Propose Massive Greenhouse Gas Tax

Lemme Guess, This will be a Triple Dipper Tax.....

.....Tax the Mine for digging up X-pounds of carbon, they pass the tax on to the Electric Utility.

.....Tax the Electric Utility for burning x-pounds of carbon. They pass both taxes on to the Consumer.

.....Tax the Consumers for using the electricity equal to X-pounds of carbon. The cost of electricity already has the other two taxes in it.
