The beauty of a carbon tax

Not going to happen........100% certainty.

Redistricting by Republican governors since 2010 makes it virtually impossible for the left to take back the House any time before 2020. Even center left representatives in the House arent going to support slamming constituents with mega-electricity bills.

Most of the environmental nutters have the political IQ of a small soap dish.

"mega-electricity bills?"

what are you muttering to yourself about now?

pwned s0n.....................

You mistake me for an Obama supporter; the only one pwned here is your skirt wearing candy ass.

Obama is a right of center corporatist who wouldn't know a good economic plan if smacked him upside his big-eared head with one.

A rise in energy costs will be devestating to the people who live on the ragged financial edge.

The people on the ragged financial edge would be the ones receiving most of the revenues collected by a carbon tax in the form of offset checks to recompense them for base energy and food cost increases due to the carbon tax. That is how "revenue-neutral" becomes "neutral."

The current administration and, obviously Congress itself, does not comprehend the term "revenue-neutral".

This is a pipe dream that should never come to fruition.

There's got to be some Executive Orders that could take care of that little inconvenience.

How. The tax increase will be paid for by increasing the prices of product being sold. Can the president order a supplier to sell a product to certain people for x amount of money?

So the only thing beautiful about it is that it is a wealth redistribution scheme? It will nearly cover the losses that the price increases cause thus leaving the poor just a little bit poorer?

Ahhhhh yes, there it is. Another in a long list of wealth redistribution schemes designed to make the rich richer and the middle class slaves.

Good one Tovarisch! Of course in Russia they have a flat 13% tax and are growing by leaps and bounds while we sink under the inexorable weight of the socialist numbskulls who think if they just give it one more try they can make it work....somehow.

What stupid, stupid, stoooopid people you are.

Clearly, the best way to prosperity for our country is to spend our way to prosperity!!! What could be more elementary than that?


To the non-fringe economic thinkers, the concept of "default" is very real.

Look......the environmental k00ks have been knocking themselves out for years now thinking their imagined world is obtainable. And they'll knock themselves out decades from now trying to achieve the same goals and all the while the goalposts will move further and further away!!! Wont deter them though................

We all know what Einstein said..............

What does it mean to do the same thing repeately but expecting a different outcome
