Cap & Trade aka The Climate Bill or as I Like to Call it "Tax and Kill"


I'm SO Against The Current Cap & Trade Climate Bill that Passed in the House of Congress and is Still Currently in the Senate Waiting to be Pushed through into Legislation.
I DO Call it "Tax and Kill"!
That is EXACTLY What it SHOULD be Called!
That's what this Climate Bill Will Ultimately do to America!
It Will be an MASSIVE ENERGY TAX on Every American Citizen!
It Will NOT Make A Substantive Impact on the Environment!
It Will KILL JOBS!
It Will Cause Electricity Bills and Gas Prices to Sharply Increase!
It Will Outsource Manufacturing Jobs and Hurt Free Trade!
It Will Make You Choose Between Energy, Groceries, Clothing or Haircuts!
It Will Be Highly Susceptible to Fraud and Corruption!
It Will Hurt Senior Citizens, the Poor, and the Unemployed the Worst!
It Will Cost American Families Over $3,000 a Year!
President Obama Admitted “Electricity Rates Would Necessarily Skyrocket” under a Cap-and-Trade program! (January 2008)
Are You Scared or Worried Yet? Well You SHOULD Be!

The House Already has Passed this Bill. Now it just needs to go through the Senate and then finally the President has to sign it into Law. And Believe Me when I Tell You that Obama is Anxiously and Impatiently Waiting to Sign This Legislation into Law too!
What Would Global Warming Regulations Do?
■Lieberman-Warner: Last year, the Senate rejected cap-and-tax legislation that would have capped CO2 emissions 70% below 2005 levels by 2050. A Heritage analysis of that bill found startling economic impacts.
■Markey-Waxman: The cap-and-trade tax proposed by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) would double down on last year’s failed scheme, bringing in trillions of dollars in taxes, making it one of the largest sources of revenue for the federal government.
■Six Hundred Hurricanes Couldn’t Cause This Much Economic Damage: In the first 20 years, Lieberman-Warner would have destroyed nearly 3 million jobs, caused some manufacturing sectors to cut jobs by 50% and generated up to $300 billion per year in government revenue while reducing income by nearly $5 trillion. For comparison, this is equal to the economic damage done by over 600 hurricanes …and the Markey-Waxman bill is worse.
■Green Jobs Are a Myth, Real Job Losses are Not: For every “green job” created, others are wiped out. Job losses resulting from the Lieberman-Warner cap and trade would have surpassed 900,000 in some years. Keep in mind that this is net of any “green jobs” created.
■New Version, More Expensive: Markey-Waxman will be much more costly than the bill rejected by the U.S. Senate last year. Such an expensive tax on all Americans is bad under normal circumstances and worse during a recession.A “Carbon Constrained Future”
■The Ultimate Outsourcing: India and China have repeatedly said they would not match U.S. environmental goals in order to protect their economies. Cap and Trade will merely move manufacturing jobs to China and India.
■By 2100: By EPA calculations, the Lieberman-Warner bill would have at best resulted in a global drop in temperature of only 0.1 to 0.2 degrees Celsius by the year 2100.
■A Carbon Tax Would Be No Different: Alternative carbon taxes share the central flaw of any other carbon reduction scheme. Similar to cap and trade, a carbon tax would cause significant economic damage and would do very little to reduce global temperatures.
■An Alternative That Supports American Taxpayers: Instead of appeasing a radical environmental agenda, President Obama should give us access to all energy sources, including domestic oil production, nuclear energy, coal, and new renewable fuels. Instead of new taxes, the President should instead aim to lower gas and electricity prices. When government impediments are lifted, America’s energy entrepreneurs can develop innovative and market-driven solutions to our energy needs.
Still Not Scared or Concerned about this Massive Piece of Legislation that Our Current Government is trying to Rush into Law?

If Those 34 Links Don't Help Give You More Info or Have Shown You Just How Dangerous and Damaging this Bill Will be to America, I'm NOT Sure What Will.I'll End on this Note.
This is NOT a Popular Bill among Most Americans or Congressmen in the House!
Only 8 Republican Congressmen Voted For This Bill.
The Rest Voted Against it or in Representative Flake's Case of AZ DID NOT Vote which in My Book is the Same as Voting for it.
It's Clear this Bill is Descructive and Damages America in Major Ways.
It Grows the Size and Strength of Government over Our Life.
When has that EVER been Helpful or Positive?
Please Take Some Time and Go Through these Links.
Do the Same research I did.
Then Let Me Know What You Think. Thanks!
