[Mr. Obama would have the government use most of the revenues for relief to families to offset higher utility bills and related expenses.]
Actually, Obama plans to pay the utility bills for his voters.
You have nailed it, tax payers will pay the utility bills for his voters though programs already in place. Goggle Energy Assistance.
There are government agencies that have been in place since about 1979. They make payments to companies that sell electricity, natural gas, lp gas, fuel oil (perhaps even coal and wood as well).
Obama will raise taxes on business then give a portion or all of that money to his voters and they will think he is great for paying their bills with your money.
Obama's energy welfare is by no means a “carbon” tax that is spread across the ENTIRE population
