Obama to Crush Economy with Massive CO2 Taxes as Early as Next Week

Abandoning all loyalty to the democratic processes this nation holds dear, President Obama has made the decision that getting energy tax legislation through Congress with the approval of the American people is just too much of a pain to bother with. Instead he will have the EPA declare as early as next week that CO2 is a dangerous global warming gas and will start regulating its emissions immediately.

Obama’s promise to open up vast stretches of ocean on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico to energy exploration is simply a ruse to soften up the public for soon to be announced draconian regulations.

The list, ping

[GeronL]

I don’t think this can happen without an act of Congress

[Michael.SF.]

This should clinch the November election for us!

[RC2]

OK....let’s get rid of all CO2. Then what? We don’t need it..........right?

[Logical me]

November too late. Sorry you wishful thinkers, you are off track.

[pgyanke]

That makes my body a continuous pollution dispenser... what harm could possibly come of that...?

[bamahead]

When has that ever stopped this bozo?

[Lazamataz]

This should clinch the November election for us!

WHAT election????

[reagandemocrat]

He’s going to tax our exhale?

[Logical me]

I don’t think this can happen without an act of Congress

Sorry to disappoint you but we are communist control of Government.

[Oceander]

Really? Obamacare would have happened with, or without, an act of Congress, so why should this be any different?

[reagandemocrat]

Fine.

I’ll only inhale, then.

[MaxMax]

Breathing regulators, tax for breathing to many times per day.

[MaxMax]

This should clinch the November election for us!

Yea, maybe the GOP can run on a bipartisan platform..

[massgopguy]

It will be an Individual Mandate.

[bgill]

He got away with the stimulus. He got away with the banks and auto industry. He got away with health care. What else are we going to let him get by with?

[massgopguy]

Instead of getting a tax deduction on your children, they will be assessed as a carbon tax.

You did not give me any reassurance at all. Thanks a lot!

The EPA findings are based on junk science, and the Federal Data Quality Act makes using junk science illegal.

From Findlaw.com
"The DQA applies to all federal agencies that are subject to the PRA. See 67 F.R. at 8453. The PRA defines "agency" as "any executive department, military department, Government corporation, Government controlled corporation, or other establishment in the executive branch of the Government (including the executive office of the President), or any independent regulatory agency . . ."
