Cap and Trade is Capital Punishment for the US Economy
The Chicago Daily Observer ^ | June 29, 2009 | Daniel J. Kelley

“I love America. That’s why it has to be destroyed.“

The quotation cited above comes from a liberal character in the 2008 satirical comedy “An American Carol.” David Zucker’s film skewered the American political left for its arrogance and its hypocrisy. Sadly, one can easily see President Obama or some member of his administration expressing a similar oxymoronic sentiment to explain its peculiar and destructive policies.

Obama seems intent upon destroying the American love affair with the automobile by crippling the auto industry and laying waste to the larger economy. If no one can afford to drive a car, it follows that fuel consumption will decline and pollution will decrease. It is almost reminiscent of an episode of the science fiction television series “Doctor Who” in which the misguided leaders of a radical environmental movement were exposed as dangerous and genocidal frauds. Their futuristic plan to save the planet from pollution in the television program turned out to be premised upon eradicating nine tenths of the world’s population. Fewer humans meant less pollution and more abundant resources for those interested in returning the Earth to a pristine Golden Age. That scenario was, of course, fiction. Obama’s plan is a nightmare reality.

Remember the Enviroweenies screaming ‘Who killed the electric car?’. Well, the reason that project was scrapped was because the vehicle was dangerous, not road worthy and the manufacturer was afraid of lawsuits.
Who will the accident ‘victims’ sue since the mandates come from the US govt?

The more they clamp down on capitalism the more a black market will emerge.

Forgot to add that capitalism is as old as human kind itself, when one tribe had an excess of skins and the other had an excess of berries they decided to exchange some berries for some pelts, everyone stayed warm and fed.

There was no Ugh the Taxman or Thag the commissar.
