But the question nowadays is “Would you spend $2 of other people’s [read: Uncle Sugar’s] money per month?”

Then, for God’s sake, any cost is worth it!

"Unwilling to Pay $2 Per Month Tax to Fight Climate Change"

How's that for enthusiasm?

Kinda like the Obama's and the Sussexes buying beachfront property while sounding the alarms that it'll all be under water in 11.5 years!

Sorry, but my $2 goes to help out a homeless animal when I pay for my dog’s food.

For decades Los Angeles people have been polled as overwhelmingly in favor of mass transit including commuter trains and buses.

But only if other people would be riding in them.

They said no to giving up their own freedom to drive their own cars.

“Washington Post Poll Shows Most People Unwilling to Pay $2 Per Month Tax to Fight Climate Change”

That is not a problem. Elect a Democrat and they will use police power to just take the $2.00 - plus about another $10,000 per family per year.

I say $10,000 because I don’t think the average family will be able to pay $50,000 per year. We don’t have it.

Don’t worry, they will just cook up some phony polls to counteract this one. There is no issue for which a poll to make the democrats feel better about themselves can’t be concocted.

Dems announce policy to throw kittens into woodchippers. Trump tweets regulation of policy!!

Two days later: ABC/Ipsos finds overwhelming support for the kitten wood chipper policy.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It’s equally intellectual with paying $2 to make sure the Easter Bunny’s life is preserved.

Indeed, 51 percent of U.S. residents oppose paying a $2 per month tax on their electric bills,

Same dodge, different recipient. When I worked in Georgia, the power company asked if I'd contribute some small amount to "help the poor pay their power bills". I replied that it just looked like a way for the power company to insure that they got paid.

I suggested a plan we used in California back in the '70s. Low cost loan to extra insulate the house and add a couple of bucks to the bill until it is paid. The savings in power more than paid for the loan.

Never heard back from them.

I pay $7 a month to NOT have a smart meter on my house. I’ll run my electricity on my schedule not that of the power company.

Once these costs are accounted for, the monthly cost of a 50 percent renewable energy mandate be about $100 per month.

Great. The bastards want me to pay $1200/year for nothing. To hell with them.
