> Oh I agree with you wholeheartedly on that point. We definitely need to cut the size of government. Vastly. However, taxing companies that send a shitload of pollution into the air that is killing us and making us sick isn’t really making government bigger. Sick people increase the cost of healthcare. We’ve done the same thing with cigarettes… I didn’t see any of you non-smokers too fucking up in arms over that new tax…

noone said taxing the companies is making the gov bigger. It is an unnecessary tax designed to do what? What good will come from taxing companies on pullution? Will the companies increase the cost of their product to pay for the tax?

So obama gets into office by saying he will cut taxes and let the middle class have more money, then he puts this BS into effect and the cost of utilities and other areas goes up more than the tax breaks, brilliant.

Our government is a joke.
