Ad Slams 1,092-Page ‘Cap and Trade’ Legislation That Would Create $846B in Higher Taxes

The New American: Tomorrow, Congress is voting on the 1,092-page American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) to restrict carbon-dioxide emissions in order to fight global warming. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the measure, which is also known as "cap-and-trade" legislation, would create $846 billion in higher taxes and increase federal “direct spending by about $821 billion.” In addition to the direct tax implications, the bill's extensive new “cap-and-trade” regulations could skyrocket all Americans’ utility bills and create massive job losses. This legislation, which would give a double-hit to the wallets of consumers, is strongly backed by President Barack Obama.

This legislation, if passed, will be the final blow to our economy from which we will never recover.

No one will be able to or allowed to read this more-than-a-thousand-pager, and it will be Rham-ed through as was done with the Stimulus bill. This will also not be able to be scrutinzed by the public.

Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history. Even Democrats can’t repeal that reality.

America…yet another devastating program from Bilderberg Bush-Obama following his orders from the Bilderberg Society to take America down!

America…Marie Antoinette Pelosi and the other Democratzi henchmen who “won”…are trying to ramrod this legislation through under the noses of the American public.

#1 Because they know that the American people do not want this legislation!

#2 Because they know if they take it to the floor…the public outcry will defeat it!

This America is a dictatorship…dictating damming policies on a daily basis that are, and will, destroy our economy even further!

Call/email your reps and express your outrage on this constant pushing through of legislation that is hijacking our purse strings for what the socialists want!

Do it today…America…it is too important!

====================

JUST ANOTHER SAD AND PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘DICTATORSHIP’ OF BILDERBERG BUSH-OBAMA SEEKING TO FOLLOW THE BILDERBERG AGENDA TO USHER IN THE ‘NEW WORLD ORDER’ THAT THEY WANT TO RULE…ONE 401K, ONE BANK, ONE CAR COMPANY, ONE STATE, ONE INVESTMENT COMPANY, ONE BAILOUT, ONE STIMULUS, ONE OMNIBUS, ONE+TRILLIION DOLLAR ‘OVERHAUL’ OF THE BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD…AND NOW THOUSANDS OF UTILITY COMPANIES AROUND OUR NATION!

Nanny Obammy said he would do this, then idiots elected him, to do this. What exactly is yer gripe?

Whilst on the subject. How stupid are they?

1. OXYGEN is a greenhouse gas. It is produced by PLANTS that TAKE-IN carbondioxide.
2. Carbondioxide is HEAVIER than Oxygen. it does NOT float around in the upper atmosphere, producing a ‘greehouse’ effect. It remains at ground level, where PLANTS can use it.
3. YOU, emit carbondioxide, what do they plan to do about YOUR emissions.
4. No belching or farting please, you are DESTROYING THE PLANET!!!
5. Nanny Obammy gonna get’cha – LOL
6. You asked for it, you got it :O)

THE COMING ICE AGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that crap?

Get some 70’s Popular Science, and Readers’ Digest, magazines, read all about it!

The sky is always falling, then the taxes are always rising!

i will throw a party when blowhard al gore finally goes to the great carbon offset in the sky.
watch this garbage get pushed through with lightening speed. the fallout of this legislation will be the final nail in the economic coffin of our formerly great republic.

Blast those damned plants! Producing all that oxygen from oxygen’s by-product, CO2. Insanity!

Don’t tell the Congress Critters about this. They’ll pass some bill legislating that all trees and shrubbery be immediately destroyed or taxed for each one on your property.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 25th, 2009 - 5:55 pm

America…there is still time to put a stop to this bill.

Right now call your Reps and tell them no to this bill that will raise our utility bills through the roof…we can afford no more!

Tell them you have a great memory and will not forget their vote if they do not go with the people of their area.

1. usa.gov
2. At top click on “site index”
3. On left click on “federal government”
4. In middle of page click on “reps on the web”
5. You should then have a map…but do not click on the map…instead go to the left and click on “house directory”
6. Put in your state and get the number of your rep and call them

I just called mine and told them no way and that “we” would not forget their vote on this matter!

DO IT NOW AMERICA…IT IS TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO DO SO!

@dr jay,” i will throw a party when blowhard al gore finally goes to the great carbon offset in the sky.”

I’ll pray for his misguided soul and hopes he’ll see the error of his ways. Then I’ll slam a beer and say Thank you Lord!!

YES! Call these people what they are! THEIFS!

GOD ONLY REQUIRES 10%! Nehemiah 10:38

Exodus 20:15 – You shall not steal

Romans 13:5-7 – Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

Luke 20:25 – “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s”

GOD OVER COUNTRY!

PAY WHAT IS OWED AND NOTHING MORE!

DON’T CONDONE THE SIN OF THEIVERY THROUGH TAXATION!

NO TAXATION WITHOUT EQUAL COMPENSATION!

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

DON’T TREAD ON ME!

LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISSORDER!

Good thing we have remembered our Second Amendment rights. Crime is already on the increase and after this idiotic left wing Enviro Nazi legislation passes and gasoline and your utility bills soar, there will be blood in the streets. Thank you Democrats. Thank you 95% of blacks that voted by color (ignorant pos) For 35 years my wife and I worked hard and long to raise a family and own a modest home. The racist Obama and Democrat Socialists will take it away in heartbeat. We let it happen by allowing our schools and union teachers to brainwash our children, well at least some of us did.

Don’t know how many times it has been proven, but there is NO global warming. At least in the taxable sense. The sun heats–and presently–cools the planet. It is the height of arrogance to believe people cause global warming and hieght of stupidity to tax people for it.

The socialists/communists in American politics have to go! They’re working at a break neck rate to create as much dependency on the government as is possible. This dependant class will always put their support behind those who give them what they want, not those who make wise leaders.

With no checks and balances in the federal legislature and the news media, America is in for some serious trouble with the clowns running the circus. That fact is much more concerning than so-called global warming and it’s associated illegitimate taxes.

HUH?   June 26th, 2009 - 4:58 am

Is this the bill that will TAX COWS FOR FARTING????

taxcut   June 26th, 2009 - 6:55 am

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.

Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.

-Lyrics from Taxman by George Harrrison.
