Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) spoke out against cap-and-trade as a policy to establish new green jobs during the Senate Environment and Public Works Full Committee hearing on Business Opportunities and Climate Policy Tuesday.
Cap-and-trade spending is a policy of controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants, and is strongly supported by the Obama administration.
"I am opposed to increasing taxes," Inhofe said. "And cap-and-trade is, plain and simple, a tax. It's an indirect, hidden, sneaky tax, but it's a tax."
He said it's a tax that will "fall more heavily on poorer people because poorer people spend a higher percentage of their incomes on energy than do wealthier people."

“from the party and administration of sneaky bastages.”
Fargin’ iceholes, all of ‘em.
If the GOP had a brain that wasn’t infected with ‘moderation’,they’d pick a Jim Inhofe to head the party.
I know, I know...not enough FLASH! Why are we so afraid of substance?
But he said he would only raise taxes on 5% of Americans. Oh, I forget — he’s a dimocrat, tax and spend, tac and spend.....ad infititsm
This needs to be the mantra repeated by conservatives everywhere...bash it over the dems skulls
The Chinese and Indians must be laughing their asses off at us. We are unilaterally disarming our economy. And China, which produces more “greenhouse gasses” than any nation on earth will not have to pay a dime, nor reduce those emissions one iota. In addition, dozens of American businesses will leave America for the friendlier shores of China, where the Cult of Climate does not hold any sway. The GOP is doing a horrendous job in fighting this, leaving it to Inhofe alone.
Profile in cowardice.
Is it just me....or are even the best of our (meaning the few good ones) politicians 6 months behind the power curve?
AMEN!
SCREAMING from the rooftops!
