Cap and Trade Equals More Taxation for You and Me
http://readyformoretaxes.blogspot.com/2009/04…
Have you kept up with the latest scheme that our "representatives" in Washington have devised? In an effort to reduce greenhouse gases, our government has decided that they will increase taxes on companies that produce energy as a way to fund a more "green" environment. Now the question of "Green" is a good one - are we talking green as in the lingo used by environmentalists to become more environmentally friendly, reduce gases, reduce pollution, etc.? Or are we talking green in the sense that the government collects more of the taxpayers money? Who will these companies pass the additional cost to once they begin to be taxed at a higher rate? WE - THE PEOPLE! An impartial analysis from MIT makes clear the price will be substantial: more than $300 billion in new taxes every year. This converts into an additional $3100 per year in taxes paid by you and me - the taxpayers. This is the equivalent of punishing the American taxpayer for big industry and their failure to find more environmentally friendly ways to produce energy.
We are already being taxed to death and every American should be tired of our "representatives" selling us out in Washington. I am one of many in this country that are tired of sitting here and taking it in the pocketbook. If you are getting tired and feeling like you aren't being represented anymore, that you are over taxed as it is and you feel like your hands are tied, NOW is the time to take action. April 15th - there are Tea Parties taking place across this country. Click here to find one near you: http://www.teapartyday.com/Locations.aspx Get involved.

American voters need to vote NO on any so-called “cap and trade” legislation. The House version, H.R. 2454 is a bill that WILL...not possibly...but WILL destroy American jobs and raise energy costs. This is a “kill capitalism” bill, not an energy security bill. If this legislation passes, most families in the United States will be negatively affected.
