Cap and trade (Waxman-Markey) is a scam and a fraud that will enrich corporate special interests at the expense of the American people.

US Climate Action Partnership member General Electric raised almost $500K in bundled contributions (legal, they are not corporate contributions but rather bundled individual contributions) to help elect Barry the Community Organizer, and it is clear that GE's employees and shareholders are getting more than their money's worth.

A good argument for boycotting GE consumer goods, and it won't hurt American workers; when I last looked at a GE consumer appliance, it was made in China.

I heard that the zero has already used the EPA to implement part of the cap and trade. What I want to know is does the EPA even have the power to implement what amounts to a tax on the American people?

people are asleep on this...most don’t know what it all means to them. It is not told in the media, and if it is mentioned, the slant is environmental.

This is IF Wackedman-Malarkey passes the Senate. They are probably waiting on the convention in Copenhagen which will feature a hundred countries (!) many of which are now skeptics of the global-warming panic.

The very people that the commie 'RATS say they are punishing with Cap'n Tax are the people who are going to be getting filthy rich with its passage.

BIG energy.

Hardworking Americans are the big losers when it comes to Cap'n Tax.
