Hate the wealthy? Give to the less fortunate? "Even the playing field" ?
Here are average yearly incomes of several countries:
Brazil $8,135
Venezuela $11,444
India $1,054
China $3,212
USA $45,835
To even the playing field, we must "de-develop the USA" , redistribute the wealth globally (take your income) vis cap and trade and other measures. How does socialism look to you now? It's not taking money from the wealthy -- it's taking your money!
How do we avoid making the mistakes they made? Ummmm, don't follow a continent that hasn't produced anything but banking for the last 300 years and that woud be a good start. It's insane to see us taking after european culture. THAT is the culture that is doomed to fail. Capitalism is fine, we don't care about the poor. It's when you start caring about everyone and are still so vain you think you deserve everything is when economies start failing. Thanks, Europe!
This is insane! This is going to kill companies along with any hopes of a recovery. The airline industry, trucking companies, the small business sector, food companies and the automobile industry. All of these industries depend on cheap energy to stay in business. The airline industry is already in shabbles along with many trucking companies. It doesn't take a genius to understand that a trade and cap will drive more unprofitability and force many bankruptcies. WAKE UP!
It'll kill you before it kills any companies. Actually, european utilities have been doing great under this system. It's the people, who they passed their cost onto, that ended up paying for it, which is no surprise, where do you expect a company to push the taxes? Airlines are by no means in shambles. Haha. Where the hell do you guys get your information?
Not like it really matters though. It's all a lie anyways. They'll tell you want they want you to hear.
NO NEW TAX you idiots! we're in the middle of a recession!!! we HAVE no money!!! someday i will get the chance to beat the crap out of you and i will not hesitate. if their is a just God in heaven, i will get my chance.
Hah, welcome to 21st century politics. No longer will they tax you, they'll backdoor you from the things you purchase the most of. Unfunded mandate here, a little cap and trade there, how about some "health" reform? Haha. Pathetic. And people are actually following it too. *sigh*. We're doomed. The idiot, vain, cowards bred too much,
I'm in favor in cleaning up the environment so that the air is cleaner for everyone's health, but to tax on it and to collect something for turning on your AC or your TV is ridiculous, that's taking it a leap way too far.
"I have never proposed it (Cap and trade) as a substitute to a Carbon Tax, I am in favor of both."
Will someone please lock this moron up before he destroys this country?
This greedy liberal says he's "for the people," while he is proposing the largest tax increases the people have ever seen! Why? Because, through his investments in green companies, he stands to make a fortune if this legislation is passed! This is shameful, and terrifying! Damn these politicians!
Al Gore is a partner with the venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that invests heavily in energy efficient products and companies. That's great, but here is my point. Through this cap and trade program and because this firm has invested billions of dollars in alternative energy, Al Gore will profit HUGE of the cap and trade if implemented. He will easily become a mult-billionaire and who will pay for it.....WE WILL!
im not the smartest guy but didnt they teach in middleschool that co2 is a byproduct of our breathing oxygen witch is counter acted by photosyntheses in plants to create more oxygen. how is the answer taxation? wise up people. global warming is a farce. this planet saw an ice age with no human pollution, for every action there is an opposing reaction. it was only a matter of time before things got hot. get over yourself humanity.
Yes they did and the fact is that when you add up CO2 released by forest fires, volcanos, vegetation, breathing, oceans etc, etc, man made CO2 is less than 5% even if the USA reduced CO2 output to zero% it wouldn't even make a % diference in world output. Fact is it has been warmer and it has been colder. Core samples show CO2 follows warming trends it does not precede it. Check it out, the founder of TheWeather Channel has been trying to bring a Lawsuit against Al Gore for his false science.
Let me simplify the facts of all the scientists on the Global Warming bandwagon. : The world will on average become warmer in the future due to C02. We dont know exactly when and by how much and it could even get colder in the meantime. Or it could be a lot warmer very soon. Anything is possible. What a joke!
Dude you don't have to tell me I have written articles on the BS science Gore uses. There are dozens of contradicting and more accurate scientific evidence that Gores so called science is bogus. Just another source of income for the Government. Just a note, most countries around the world now that the temperature has peaked around 2000 and is in its beginning its cooling pattern are reporting record cooling including China with a 50 year low and the story goes on and on.
I believe 100% in energy efficiency and taking care of our environment. Does anyone remember the smog over cities in the 70's? look how far we have come and we are continuing more energy efficient means, but a TAX on emmissions? Give me a break. Not to scare meat eaters and fatties but the Global nuts say livestock and overweight people are a main source of CO2! haha. Also for you barbecue lovers they are contemplaitin how to ban or tax grills for their CO2 output because the kill the earth!
How can you support someone that constantly lies and says one thing then does another. I will never understand the blind faith some of you have for this guy. He is just a smooth talking liar.
most freaking insane tax ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You people want to be sitting at home with a candle for the rest of your lives???Just another way for the government to get your money. We are nothing but their slaves anymore.
We don't need ANY more taxes! Taxes are killing our companies and destroying our future! Cap and Trade "would be the equivalent of an atomic bomb directed at the U.S. economy, all without any scientific justification," says famed climatologist Dr. S. Fred Singer. It would significantly increase taxes and the cost of energy, forcing many companies to close, thus increasing unemployment, poverty and dependence.
A portion of every dollar that is made on this tax will go to Al Gore. He has the market and monopoly on the energy tax and green industry. He stand to make BILLIONS!!!!!
Common sense people,PUNISHING the people with a tax to force them to use less-which in turn is supposed to force big corporations that pollute to retool and retrofit to be carbon friendly? If we consume less we BANKRUPT big corporations-DUH! Look at what $4.50 gas did to GM, Chrysler, and Ford.I guess it would be too easy to just slowly regulate big corporations into carbon compliance right? Is anyone dumb enough to believe that years into a carbon tax, it will go away when we become carbon free
I'd rather they would actually spend that Co2 tax to the environment, and not to fill their pockets or use for other goals.
Like support every citizen which has a small garden to pay for 50% of the cost of planting a new tree, with preference to oaks and other trees that show lots of green, and have a better O2 conversion (at least better than palmtrees).
I have a better idea, let's name Al Gore and any congressman thats supports this crap an international terrorist and banish them from this country. If they are seen anywhere in the public of the US, any citizen of this country has the right to send them six feet under and it is their patriotic duty to do so.
AL-Gore makes millions off this bull shit propaganda. It's out of our hands, I mean are we going to go tell the sun to stop producing sun spots and to stop converting hydrogen into helium and stop its exponential growth and heating? climate change is only affected by our CO2 output on a very miniscule level. did you know that insects produce almost twice as much CO2 than mankind(including our breathing, cars, industry, etc....) SAVE THE AIR KILL THE BUGS
Wow this is really frightening to see. Imagine if this gets passed so many jobs will be lost. This will ENSURE an economic depression and civil unrest. This is an obvious power-grab. People wake up PLEASE!?!?!? Can you not see what is going on? This isnt about liberal vs. Conservative anymore. This government is now coming after US, the PEOPLE!! Dont take this shit from them they are supposed to serve us not the other way around.
TAR and Feather these bastards end corrupt govt. officials in both parties. END the corruption ! vote our all incumbants .. end the tyrants rule over your life
Just another way to control the masses. Al Goe should be shot for TREASON. Hes a liar and a hypocrite. What they are planning to do with Cap and Trade is unreal. We will think income tax is cheap compared to this tax!
Tax the hot air coming from his mouth. He just spent a minute says absolutely nothing. "revenue neutral"??? He talks in circles and gives no specifics. What a fraud. Wake up America!!
My god, I was under the impression that democrats were for the "little people." Imagine what those little people would say if the knew these psychos were legislating to raise their electricity--and every other bill--by a total of $330 a month.
I swear our government is trying to "lawmake" us all into homeless shelters.
Liberals always trust governement over the people. Most of these liberals in government are millionares anyway-Gore,etc. Use governement to further their control. Why trust governement to solve our problems? Look at the disater of the public school system, social security, medicare. Look at the cities that have been completely controlled by democrats and liberals for decades, -Newark, New Orleans, Philly, Detroit, Washington DC- disasters.
Man, what are we gonna do when they start taxing farts? It's methane, a dreaded green house gas... Oh good ol' Al Gore will find a way to make money off it!
I think we should tax all the CO2 that is coming out of his mouth! That's a lot of carbon dioxide!!!
Funny how all this tax and cap crap stands to make in inventor of the internet a lot of money... hmmm
It is a fact that too much O2 will make your retina detach and make you co blind.
Going to a cash only, no receipts business model. Let somebody else pay for this hoax and all the other bull crap President 0 is going to force down our throats.
TAX! Wow, I guess the cats out of the bag now. Remember when Conservatives told the world obama was a socialist and obama turned out to be, well, a socialist? They didnt hear us then, our work is cut out for us now.
SAY NO TO A TAX ON CARBON! SAY NO TO CAP AND TRADE! They tax everything else - food, clothing, property taxes for land ownership - not just one time, but payable every single year you own it - and NOW they're claiming the RIGHT to tax the air we breathe?!
STOP THIS MADNESS! VOTE 'EM OUT IN 2010! WE NEED TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS! NOBODY SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH POWER - NOBODY!
Allrighty then, let's look at a transcript of part of Al (ManBearPig) Gore's testiphony, from approx 1:24 to approx 1:33:
AlGore: "...and a number of the countries around the world that have done the best job of addressing... uh... the, the climate... uh... crisis and strengthening their economies..."
Now let's look at some lyrics from the song "Stutter" by R&B singer Joe (Joe Lewis Thomas):
I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying,
Cap and Trade legislation is heating up, & stands to do irreparable damage to all of us. If it passes into law, look for electricity rates to rise 30-50 percent within 5 years. Natural gas costs will also rise as that is what happens in a free-market system. The cost of everything you buy & do will also go up, exponentially, as everything has energy costs figured into the costs. Govt needs to hear THE PEOPLE NOW!!
cap and trade will cause every single consumer product to rise in price as everything needs electricity to manufacture. This will be the most unholy tax ever devised.
Gore is in favor of BOTH . He never saw a Tax he didn't love. Notice he said revenue neutral because he wants all the money returned to the " People". What people? Take it from the middle class and redistribute it ?
"Nobody in this country realizes that cap and trade is a tax, and it's a great big one", and when Dingell says that he seems real proud of that. Are these people insane. They are in a hurry to get this passed, because thay know in the next year, the people will realize Global Warming is a Hoax.
We are in a cooling period. (for the last 7 years). The temps. did rise for a period of about 300 years (about 3 degrees). This rise started before the industrial revolution.
It is incredible that they would not let Lord Christopher Moncton speak in front of congress with regard to climate change. Why won't they debate both sides of the issue head on. We are all allowing ourselves to be brainwashed. Gore is a charlatan.
Algore at 1:26 "A number of the countries around the world that have done the best job of addressing the climate crisis, and strengthening their economies, have, in fact, put both [carbon tax and cap and trade] in place."
WHAT countries?
This is BS pseudo-science used to scare the ignorant into acceding to even more tax-slavery, all on account of their inability to use critical thinking, and their self-destructive appetite for panic.
Gore is such a bloated, lying, prvate jet flying douchebag. These "hearings" were a BAD joke on the US economy, and we're just beginning to see how much Barry O's "hope and change" dog and pony show will cost us. 95% of us get a tax cut my ass.
100% of us will get a 'hidden' tax increase. They might try to hide it under the guise that companies will pay the tax and not the individual. Companies never pay taxes, remember that, they pass the taxes on to their customers in the way of higher prices.
Man made climate change is a hoax and a scam. Cap and trade, a carbon tax and all the rest of these things are the schemes that they are using to force us to pay into this scam. They are saying that you can put out all the CO2 you want just as long as you pay them to do it. Al Bore preaches this climate change doom and gloom BS (formally know as man made global warming) and also owns the company that sells these so called carbon offsets. He is pushing lies for profit !!! Please WAKE UP people!
Americans are going broke and becoming homeless and these cocky bastards are trying to figure out how to break us more with the most ignorant and moronic schemes. I have a great Idea. Lets tax those bastards net worth at about 75% including taking their homes and auction them off to the lowest bidder and use the money to put this country back on track. They must think they are talking to morons or the mexican illegals that don't speak English!!! ALSO,DON'T TAKE THE FLU SHOT!! IT IS POISON!
This Cap and Trade is ridiculous. China and India already stated they are not going to even attempt it, but yet we the American people need to be taxed an additional 700 to $1,400 per year.
They want massive starvation and slavery to a world central bank. Global warming is pseudo science. Al Gore is one of the most disgusting human beings I have ever witnessed.
Dingel says it is a huge tax cap and trade and wonders whic tax would be best? Gore says BOTH!.
Why on earth would anyone believe we are getting global warming form carbon when it is warm weather that produces more plant grow and animal growth which in turn creates more carbon from our minerals.?
Al Gore's job is "Professional Liar for Personal Profit".
The carbon tax is nothing more than a Socialist ploy to exert control over the energy industry. Watch what happens to GM... The same will happen with the energy industry,
Hope all you Obama voters enjoy your high energy bills. You wanted Socialism and now you're about to get it.
Mr. Gore pursues this fantasy as if he was an expert, and he doesn't have the foggist idea what he is talking about. He does not deviate from his planned program and will not debate this issue with 700 other scienctists that have a 180 degree opinion. He is like Obama that can't say a word without his teleprompter. I love to watch some of the meetings with gore and Democrat congress that is just fasinated with his BULL. Watch their faces and actions, looks like a junior high Class.
Even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. Rep. Dingus recognizes this cap-and-tax scam for what it is while ManBearPig Gore scrambles to slap yellow paint on a turd and sell it to Congress as gold.
Did Al Gore provide ANY useful information in his response? All I got out of him was that he wants to tax the HELL out of us. When Dingell asked him for ideas to help prevent a tax disaster, he started making things up and provided no details to support his statements.
It is madening to see this pieces of shit debating wheter a $4000 tax for every household is a "good thing". It is a HUGE TAX plain and simple, and Al Gore has already made 300 mil selling the stupid "global warming" hoax. And he wants more...
Obama and his administration are doing everything in their power to guarantee an economic depression and the ensuing civil unrest. This will create the opportunity for Government to justify expansion into EVERY aspect of private civilian life. IMHO, this unprecedented power grab is the result of a deep-seated hatred of free people in particular and humanity in general.
Just remember that cap and trade is a CO2 tax pure and simple. It will be the biggest gas (fuel) tax we've seen, it will be the biggest coal tax, it will prevent new coal plants being opened and will cause some to have to shut down. It means your electric bill will double and the cost to transport goods, fly on airplanes, fill up your car etc will become very expensive and all this money will go to Washington DC.
Obama has given 12.8 Trillion to off shore Banksters , USA is sold out to International Purposely Bankrupt USA Nafta Gatt No jobs here Hyper Inflation Coming its about Control.Eugenics ,both partys sold YOU OUT See Video > Obama Deception 1
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
And how does this fit in with Obamas 'promise' to not increase taxes on 95% of Americans? more than 5% of Americans drive cars, not to mention everything else that would go up in price due to this.
Well what special interests have been driving transport policy for the last 100 years? Why are there now only 140,000 miles of railroad in the US today when at one time there was close to 260,000 miles? Keep in mind that trains use 1/7 the amount of energy of road transport.
Cap and trade is set up for failure. Asking how you implement it without the problems is like asking how you shoot yourself in the head without dying.
Carbon tax durning a recession wow what a great idea. Al gore is a fool. So i guess mt 8 dollar a week tax break is gonna help pay my gas and electric bill. doesnt it seem odd to anyone that Gore wont debate anybody on global warming. I guess were just supposed to sit back and believe everything he says. Enough is enough with these people!
TAX TAX TAX! Stop taxing us! We could be wiped out by an asteroid tomorrow or in the next 100 years or a terrorist attack or and number of apocalyptic catastrophes and all this BS effort to save the planet from our CO2 emissions will be for not.
Hate the wealthy? Give to the less fortunate? "Even the playing field" ?

My god, I was under the impression that democrats were for the "little people." Imagine what those little people would say if the knew these psychos were legislating to raise their electricity--and every other bill--by a total of $330 a month.
I swear our government is trying to "lawmake" us all into homeless shelters.

Liberals always trust governement over the people. Most of these liberals in government are millionares anyway-Gore,etc. Use governement to further their control. Why trust governement to solve our problems? Look at the disater of the public school system, social security, medicare. Look at the cities that have been completely controlled by democrats and liberals for decades, -Newark, New Orleans, Philly, Detroit, Washington DC- disasters.

Allrighty then, let's look at a transcript of part of Al (ManBearPig) Gore's testiphony, from approx 1:24 to approx 1:33:
AlGore: "...and a number of the countries around the world that have done the best job of addressing... uh... the, the climate... uh... crisis and strengthening their economies..."
Now let's look at some lyrics from the song "Stutter" by R&B singer Joe (Joe Lewis Thomas):

Cap and Trade legislation is heating up, & stands to do irreparable damage to all of us. If it passes into law, look for electricity rates to rise 30-50 percent within 5 years. Natural gas costs will also rise as that is what happens in a free-market system. The cost of everything you buy & do will also go up, exponentially, as everything has energy costs figured into the costs. Govt needs to hear THE PEOPLE NOW!!

cap and trade will cause every single consumer product to rise in price as everything needs electricity to manufacture. This will be the most unholy tax ever devised.

100% of us will get a 'hidden' tax increase. They might try to hide it under the guise that companies will pay the tax and not the individual. Companies never pay taxes, remember that, they pass the taxes on to their customers in the way of higher prices.

Man made climate change is a hoax and a scam. Cap and trade, a carbon tax and all the rest of these things are the schemes that they are using to force us to pay into this scam. They are saying that you can put out all the CO2 you want just as long as you pay them to do it. Al Bore preaches this climate change doom and gloom BS (formally know as man made global warming) and also owns the company that sells these so called carbon offsets. He is pushing lies for profit !!! Please WAKE UP people!

Mr. Gore pursues this fantasy as if he was an expert, and he doesn't have the foggist idea what he is talking about. He does not deviate from his planned program and will not debate this issue with 700 other scienctists that have a 180 degree opinion. He is like Obama that can't say a word without his teleprompter. I love to watch some of the meetings with gore and Democrat congress that is just fasinated with his BULL. Watch their faces and actions, looks like a junior high Class.

Obama and his administration are doing everything in their power to guarantee an economic depression and the ensuing civil unrest. This will create the opportunity for Government to justify expansion into EVERY aspect of private civilian life. IMHO, this unprecedented power grab is the result of a deep-seated hatred of free people in particular and humanity in general.

Just remember that cap and trade is a CO2 tax pure and simple. It will be the biggest gas (fuel) tax we've seen, it will be the biggest coal tax, it will prevent new coal plants being opened and will cause some to have to shut down. It means your electric bill will double and the cost to transport goods, fly on airplanes, fill up your car etc will become very expensive and all this money will go to Washington DC.
