Jul. 6, 2009 - Cap and Trade, the Backdoor Tax Plan
The Waxman-Markey bill cleared the House on Friday by the narrowest of margins. It now will face the Senate. I could go into why the cap and trade system itself is flawed, but what it will do to the American consumer by design is an even greater problem. In short, it is simply a backdoor tax plan authored by liberals in the Democrat Party. This isn't a small tax increase either, its massive.
Heritage has studied this and reported that by 2035 these commodities would experience the following massive increases in price:
Gasoline prices by 58 percentNatural gas prices by 55 percentHome heating oil by 56 percentWorst of all, electricity prices by 90 percentNotice who this will hit the most...the middle and lower classes, the people the Democrat party always says its helping. The companies and major businesses, as is always the case when the rich are excessively taxed, won't be the ones suffering the most. They'll simply pass the tax increases on to the American consumer, typically your average middle-class citizen. The gas prices will rise because the oil companies have to pay the added tax mandated by Congress and supported by President Obama. To pay it, they will tack the extra price onto every gallon you buy. When the total costs and taxes are added up, an average family of four will pay nearly $3000 extra dollars per year because of the cap and trade system.
I personally believe that if this bill passes, it will be the death knell of our free market economy. Could we recover from it? Yes, but America shouldn't have to repeat the mistakes of all the other countries who tried cap and trade, and it didn't work for them.
Why do Democrats in Congress and the White House think it will work for us?
Contact your senators, and ask them to vote no on cap and trade.
Pray that they will not be pressured by liberal activists, the president, or their own party.
God bless you and God bless America.

Facebook...Twitter..don't have either of those but all my friends do so maybe I should get them.
Twitter really confuses me though cause basically you are just telling the entire world what your up to, which I think is sorta strage.
I've been doing well!
You have a good summer also!

Hi!
I have read a couple of your posts and found them very knowlegeable and interesting. I am also interested in following politics (at least to a certain degree :-). Also this year in the debate club which I attend we will be debating about environmental policies, so I found your post on global warming quite fascinating, and would love to see more like that in the future. Would you mind if I add you to my friends list so that I continue reading your updates?
In Christ,
Christine |

Lol, well thanks for adding me! I am excited to read more about your views on current events in the future. Do you do debate or extemporaneous or anything like that? If not, you should consider looking into it. I could tell you more about NCFCA (National Christian Forensics and Communication Association) if you are interested. They have clubs all over America. It is a really awesome group.
I better get back over to my profile now and add you to my friends list!
In Christ,
Christine |

Thanks for your comment. That's pretty neat that you have had the opportunity to do the online debating with liberals. That would be really neat.
The surgery went well, praise the Lord! I'm going to post more about it later, probably.
In Christ,
Christine

So, I've been reading up on cap and trade and carbon tax, environment in general... Since you don't think they should do cap and trade, would you be mroe in favor of a carbon tax? Because obviously, we need to tax emmisions in some way. I think a carbon tax would be better. People may not like the idea of it, since it's plainly a tax, but at least it's showing people up front it's true colors...what are your opinions on this?
Anyway. Thanks for your comment. God is good! And thankfully, the healing process has been going really well.
In Christ,
Christine |
