The same lying sacks that said Obamacare would save money...
Revenue recycled back to them? I don’t want to talk to people who think like this anymore.
Oh, by the way, if you make something more expensive you’ll get less of it. What the recent recession did to revenue a carbon tax will do it better.
Sure it would... if you don’t count the corresponding drop in revenue when said tax kills the economy.
Note it’s also a redistribution plan.
Their math doesn’t even add up. Since when is $122 Billion half of $1 Trillion?
How could anyone be foolish enough to believe this nonsense?
Another thinly veiled wealth redistribution plan. I’ve got a better idea...
How ‘bout we cut all the BS, non-Constitutional crap the Feds have taken on, and we then pay down the debt with the surplus generated by that model?
Zero based budgeting in place of the sophistic baseline model in use today.
Cut the depts of Ag, Energy, Education, Labor, HHS.
Phase out Medicare and Social Security.
Get the Feds back within the confines of the Constitution and let the free market take care of the rest.
We see Europe crashing and burning from policies like this and STILL they want to take us down that road. Savage is right; liberalism is a mental disorder.
This wouldn't even reduce the annual deficit by half much less the national debt. The annual deficit has averaged 1.3 trillion a year in the era of Obama. This scheme would only reduce that by about one tenth. This debt would still be increasing by over a trillion dollars a year. What universe does this author live in?
The CBO lied like the Democrat lackeys they are when they said that ObamaCare would not cost a trillion taxpayer dollars. After it passed, they “revised” their estimate to almost TWO TRILLION dollars. This office should be eliminated because they have never given a correct estimate on any entitlement that Democrats wanted.
And kill the economy with higher energy prices, while enabling the Statists.
No thanks. Get spending under control.
So will compounded inflation at roughly 7%.
The inflation process is pretty much already in place and will play out as it has before for hundreds of years
Why don’t these insane just shut up and go away? Lack of taxation is NOT the country’s problem
A Carbon Tax would fund the Global Elite Government and only that.
Not a chance in h... Given more money, the jerks in Washington would just find more unconstitutional xxxxx to squander it on. No more money, work with what you get, or less.
Obamugabe said HE was going to cut the deficit in half in four years.
More left-wing arguments why a new tax is good for the economy.
Right.
The sad thing is, that some people actually believe this rubbish.
Anybody thinks that Obama is going to make low-income people actually pay for their shared sacrifice (ha!)? We'll see the same pictures about people like the Macon Obama supporter complaining about her gas/electric bill standing in front of her big screen plasma, X box, et al "defiantly aksing who gonna take care of these here bills?"
Who actually will pay for it are middle income workers - those people who work to pay net income taxes. By the time they end up trying to get at wealthy peoples' money, they will have long moved it out of their reach. Obama will be forced to tax the middle bracket, and to take their 401Ks their private pensions, their IRAs, their Roth's, etc.
If Obama wins the election, I'm going to draw out my 401K before he can get it, and I'm going to do it before Dec 31 before the new rates kick in.
