"With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it." - James InhofeAs if the US economy and industrial sectors are not already feeling the perils of high taxation and regulation, House Democrats, Henry Waxman and Ed Markey, are proposing a sweeping climate change bill that aspires to a 20% reduction in Carbon emissions by 2020.
Yes, Carbon……the bogeyman of the Left. With Carbon particles taking up 30 out of 100,000 air particles, one can imagine how a 20% reduction will save humanity.
Al Gore and Newt Gingrich both testified on the hill today.
Al Gore says this proposed legislation is “One of the most important pieces of legislation ever introduced in the Congress.”
“I believe this legislation has the moral significance equivalent to that of the civil rights legislation of the 1960s and the Marshall Plan of the late 1940s,” he says.
Although I do appreciate a reduction in pollution, let’s do so for the sake of air quality rather than under the guise of global warming.
Gingrich says, “Make no mistake about it: This bill amounts to a $1 to $2 trillion energy tax levied on a struggling economy, which is destructive and wrong.”
He is correct. Our struggling economy does not need the extra tax burdens imposed by this ridiculous legislation. Obviously, this will translate into higher energy prices for the consumer, which Obama has approved of in the past. With higher energy prices, alterative energy will slowly become more attractive.
Isn’t it painfully obvious what is occurring here? The $1 to $2 in new taxes will be enough revenue to pay for Universal Healthcare. It is a crafty scheme: Dupe the American people into fearing Armageddon-like effects from Global Warming, which will justify higher taxes on energy producers, which will break the pocket books of consumers, which will justify a need for free healthcare, which will be paid for by taxing the energy companies…..yada yada yada.
As well, we are losing manufacturing jobs daily to China, which is intelligent enough to dismiss the erroneous claims of manmade global warming. Without their help, our efforts to curb Carbon and save the planet will be fruitless anyway.
Our loss of manufacturing and energy sector jobs to China will diminish America’s economic standing even further and lend more credence to the need for regular citizens to depend on government intervention.
It is a slippery slope, folks……….
