Generate revenue and clean up the air. Shift America away from such a petroleum dependent lifestyle, saving us gobs of money and making us less reliant on dictators hell bent on out destruction…
You know, insignificant shit like that…
No you stupid fuck, I’m saying that whenever the opposite party gets in a majority of the time they undo shiit like this. I know Bush ran up a bill. That is the fucking problem. Stop taxing me for all the stupid shit and let me live then die in peace. Yeah a ton of shit needs to be fixed, so what is Obama’s plan? an 800 billion bailout for greedy companies? Yeah that is brilliant. Now not only have they spent more money, they have ownership in public businesses. How in the fuck does that work.
If you want to work for free then so be it. I personally would like to keep most of my money and live my life the way I want to, not send it out to welfare / social programs, or tree hugging experiments so I can gain 1 year MAYBE on my life.
This shit is a joke and like someone else said is nothing but fear mongering for profit.
Yes because if you live in Pittsburgh you only die of Lung Cancer or respiratory problems. You are a fucking retard.
You’re too fucking stupid to even bother with.
Who is going to administer and regulate and this new Cap and Trade system? The federal government perhaps? How can you think this will not increase the size of the government?
How about getting the fucking government off our backs and out of the private sector so we can get this economy moving again?
If you want to know who is really behind this stupid legislation…read this!

That’s right, it’s the financial industry and they just can’t wait to get this new revenue stream in place.
Anyone who is in favor of this bill is just too fucking stupid to even argue with!! :asshole
An op-ed by William O’Keefe. Registered lobbyist for ExxonMobile. Can you find anyone that isn’t working for the oil/gas/coal industry who is against this?
Here’s a thought- how about instead of raising taxes, we leave the tax rates where they are and cut spending instead? If we maintained the same tax revenue while cutting spending enough, we’d have a deficit…right?
Obama’s “fix” is to spend even more, on absurd programs like the one this thread is about. Doesn’t sound like he’s “fixing” much, to me.
In a perfect world, yes we’d cut mad amounts of spending. However, we only bring in a few trillion a year in taxes. We over over 10. If we cut spending to ZERO, it would still take 8-10 years to pay it off.
