Cap and Trade shocker - I called my congessman, and here's what his advisor said...

[exposetruthwolf]

AL GORE is a RAPIST-he raped a massage therapist in NY; AL GORE views himself as ROMAN Cesar Tiberius-whom decried in 14 BC"The whole world shall pay ME taxes or be killed!" AL GORE-wants to carbon CAP & TAX the whole world so he can steal $Billions. AL GORE has three $8 Million house like King Tiberius whom had a palace in ROME,palace in Constantinople,& palace in Antioch. ALL HAIL EMPEROR AL GORE-KING of RAPE! WHY did Tipper Leave you? Tell you Reps your AGAINST paying $Billions to RAPIST!

[LPSandINVZIMGal]

An Apples to Apples card says this:

"Driving off a cliff: it was either that or paying the taxes!"

Even that makes sense. Us Americans had a war about this, and I think we need to do something.

[tommag82]

Sounds like my rep.

[phackitnow]

Stop using the environment as a weapon. It's crazy how as a race we fly to the newest, and most popular craze of the day. Global warming/Climate change has spurned this green movement, and it blinds the crazed to the monies our politicians are going to make if things like cap, and trade go through.

There are companies, that are going to be rich over night, and politicians are right there with them.

And the Greenies pushing the movement will be making them rich while bowing at their alters.

[sysopkc]

Hahahaha this clip really is amazing to me. What is amazing in particular is....Americans are just taking it. Just putting up with it. Any society that tolerates that kind of mangled, bumbling misrepresentation. Well you get what you deserve I guess.

[sysopkc]

Ive been reading all these comments and it seems obvious that the problem is the citizenry. Please just exersice "common" sense and read the bill. The bill is awful. Just read it... I am beginning to wonder if Americans understand how the world really works. Just read the bill.

[auzzienproudofit]

@sysopkc could you please send a link? Cheers

[sysopkc]

ahhh bro, I actually did post the link that I got from my pol sci professor who got the draft copy and they damn well took it down after a few hours. I will try and repost or send it to your own page. But is is LONG andver convoluded. I would take an aussie or kiwi saver plan any day of the week. Not that they are perfect but this is a REaL mess

[auzzienproudofit]

Ok thanks mate, yes I expected it to be written in such a way as to discuise their true agenda. Furthermore I am glad that I am here in Aus but belive me we are having the same problems the rest of the world is. The sphere of influence that has been created is GLOBAL.

[SpringChatty]

WE need to shut down the f*cking white house and eliminate presi DENTS altogether and we will no longer have this White House Issue.

[mauriedee]

I called Tim Bishop's office and he didn't know what the HR2454 bill was. Forget about him reading it, he doesn't even know what it is. His clerk said he has smart lawyers reading it. I didn't elect his smart lawyers.

[REDHORSEcreekSWIMMER]

Lol, I love it that you conservatives lost and are sucking your thumbs like a bunch of babies. Your party is in tatters, you have no ideas, and no leader. It must hurt after feeling so very strong back around 01,02,03 and now look at you all. Pathetic. Your party couldn't run a cub scout troop! ROFL

[videomusicshowcase]

Why don't I just give you my address and so you can come over and try to take my wallet from me directly.

Wouldn't that be better than sending your thugs?

My friend's wife is kinda little, maybe if you don't think you can take me, you could come after her instead...

[REDHORSEcreekSWIMMER]

First, I don't want your money - I just want you to be patriotic and pay your frickin' taxes. Second, I have no thugs. Third I'm not really interested in your friends wife and I am most certainly not interested in you (don't swing that way; sorry. Maybe you should give Larry Craig a call?) or your flaccid threats. Have a wonderful day!

[videomusicshowcase]

Your vote is the way you send your thugs.

If we have 100% taxes then we would be 100% enslaved. Very patriotic.

Reagan cut the top marginal rate from 70% to 28%, federal take doubled and 20 million jobs appeared.

We just had an 18% drop in tax revenue...Now destroy private insurance companies that 72% say they are happy with? Replace with universal health care, failed in Canada and Europe?

Sick.

Our founders revolted over 1/10 of what we pay.

Take my wallet, coward. Come today, chicken.

[REDHORSEcreekSWIMMER]

Actually I am an American whom has been living in Europe for a decade now. My health care is better than anything I ever had in the States. Sir, you truly know nothing of what you speak of. My advice, read a book or two, travel outside the U.S., get to know other cultures and research you country's history. I am no coward, that I assure you. America is a great country but it is not the "greatest" - that country does not exist. Also please stop with the 100% taxes. That is just foolish. Good day.

[mauriedee]

Stay in Europe then. I see France is considering raising their highest tax rate to 80% and their doctors get paid $35 thou to $55 thou, a third of what my auto mechanic makes. Britain, Ire, etc. have rationed care. You must live in lala land.

[REDHORSEcreekSWIMMER]

Actually I will be moving back to the States within the year and I can promise you that I am very active in politics. Your facts are wrong. It's laughable that you support the GOP who are financially backed by insurance firms. Have you ever lived outside the U.S.? Until you have you should try reading books, you might like them! Let's scrap medicare, the police, the post, fire dept.,military, and your kids schools - after all those are all socialist programs right? Get your facts straight.

[arkivx1]

I don't see you putting forth any facts, just conjecture, and ass-hattery, and the typical leftist retort of : lol u dumb read books followed by LALALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALALAL.

[CureStupidity]

Wow! Before you make rude comments about someone not knowing anything, please learn how to use a comma and quit doubling your prepositions! Quand même!

Hope that national healthcare plan works out for you as you get older; those who are retired don't usually fair so well. Oooooh, I correctly used a semi-colon!

[SgtTravisBickle]

Patriotism is represented by monetarily supporting a Federal Government that has usurped its power and continues to grow and break all the rules of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights? Your government is not your country and you owe it no allegiance. You'll make a good slave.

[Napoleon1Blownapart]

These people are arrogant liberal scum....Off with their heads!

[WashingtonWatchdog]

The government is NOT a business, yet our elected officials are trying to run it like one and using our tax dollars to do it. This will create more corruption both in government and on Wallstreet. Cap and trade is about money. If it were about going green, a company would not be able to "sell" their cap. A company that goes over the cap won't put out less Co2...they just have to pay more to do it, which means cost goes up for the consumer which means more money for the government. Cap and Scam.

[jrgvillalba]

We need to vote ALL these guys out ! The problem with the Republican party is that many of them like Olympia Snowe are not true Republicans but liberals, with the Rep. label. Due to these Republicans including Bush we are now dealing with Obama's socialist agenda, at the most difficult economic times.

[Nmhumbug]

In New Mexico I don't even get a canned response from numerous emails to my non representing representatives. They are running ads with everybody "thanking them" for being responsible and creating jobs with Cap and Trade. What idiots.

[nanabonniez]

Vote everyone of these guys OUT! Obama can not do one thing with out the 500 Senators and Congressman, etc. Elections are coming out and they must all be voted out.

[javawinq]

If any news organization had enough business sense to hire you as an investigative reporter you'd be a household name. Unfortunately, this type of reporting is skewed towards the one side they oppose. Keep up the good work.

[xyzomz]

Thank you Mike. You are underrated and under subscribed.

[freewebjunk]

I appreciate everyone's passion and conviction they have on this issue and I understand we all want what is best but I urge everyone to show some restraint. How we treat those whom we disagree with reflects our character so I just hope for more civility and respect from "everyone", no matter where you stand on the political spectrum

PS Are all taxes bad? taxes that pay your local firemen, police, or taxes that build your roads, schools, or hospitals. Just because it's a tax doesn't mean it's bad

[blogegog]

Don't be silly freebj. If we only paid taxes for things like firemen, police, schools and roads, our tax burden would be around 5% of our salaries. Clearly we're well beyond that.

So to answer your question, yes, all new taxes are bad.

[nanabonniez]

From what I understand, the taxes we pay just go to pay the interest on the loans we have?? Could that be possible?

[morbo262]

This is the same crap I got from one of my Senators after the bill passed the house....

[RoyNeary]

Talking points... spout, repeat, recycle.

These people don't really think about the consequences of their actions. They would rather appear to be doing something because they can spin it to their benefit. If they do nothing, the public might realize what a bunch of vacant intellects they really are!

[Tabooga65]

They just do not care what the consequences are. They care that they have power and their leftiest agenda moves forward.

[dittoheadAZ]

Obama sucks.

As do 211 Democratics and 8 Republicans.

[Tabooga65]

Every elected Democrate sucks and is a lying traitor. Many More Republican suck than just those 8. Many Repubs are no better than the commie dems.98% of all elected officals should be removed and 95% of appointed Officals should be removed.

[paintball3r91]

lol, you have gotten more "thumbs up" than anyone else with just two words xD

[AEVautomatic]

whats your problem obama?

[PatricksTime]

time to take back our country...these fucks work for us!

[AEVautomatic]

someone help the government is rapeing me.

[sadiepi]

Too bad this didn't happen a week or so ago so that more people could have heard this before their representatives vote on it tomorrow.

[ckirby2000]

Whoever lives in this guy's state.......VOTE HIM OUT.

ANYONE that votes for this country-killing bill should be OUT OF OFFICE ASAP.

Its a SCAM people.....WAKE UP and start calling your ELECTED officials, who are supposed to work for We the People.

[talk2bill]

cap and tax will KILL many Americans! As it is today many Americans DIED each winter and summer due to not being able to afford to heat or cool their homes and thus DIE. barack said cap and tax would cause energy prices to necessarily skyrocket...that will case many more Americans to not be able to afford to heat or cool their homes and some WILL DIE. Yet obama doesn't care? nice! someone call kenya west!

[Timmy12688]

Thanks for recording that.

Can't believe he hung up. Wow....dick

[ObamaEqualsStupid]

Please consider also that this is just an additional building block for the foundation of a collective society. This $175 dollar average increase is not the big 'OH NO'! It's the people that will depend on the government's assistance to pay their energy bills! They will become dependent on the gvt to heat their homes, cook their food, keep their kids warm, etc. It creates dependence on gvt. Jobs! I say that we make Barack sign a contract saying that if jobs aren't created, he's deported.

[ObamaEqualsStupid]

My name says it all. These drones don't even know what they are talking about.

We need to KICK EVERYONE'S ASS OUT OF OFFICE.

[WayfinderX]

I agree. Why trust any of them?
