  • Actually Marco, it's quite fitting to read the words TAX force when they say task force.

    That's basically what it is.

    GLOBAL WARMING IS A TAX SCAM!!!

  • jeffgatesnc said,

    "youtube "in honor of earth day"

    "green" is a bunch of crap

    the end result will carbon & energy taxes"

    And don't forget the Al Gore run Cap and Trade scam. He gets $10,000 a month electricity bills and flies around in a private jet, we get carbon taxes, cap and trade, smart grid, and total control over every aspect of our lives.

    DEATH TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

    Screw you GLOBAL WARMING tax scam!

  • that is what we need

  • We need to hire more City Workers to clean the streets from trash and plastics. That way animals and birds don't get infested with disease. Land Fill should be no more. It should now become a Factory to turn garbage into plastic. 

  • @davehutchinson67 <----SKANK!

    Every green job costs 2.2 to 2.7 (depending on the country or the study) real jobs. "Green" as defined by the EPA is about calling CO2, a life gas, pollution and using this to shut down the coal industry. Coal puts out ABSOLUTELY NO PULLUTION, yet because the EPA labels CO2 as a toxic gas, coal plants cannot get permits to open new plants or expand. Stop being a B-TTPL-G for the NEW WORLD ORDER!

    Global Warming is a TAX SCAM to pay for a world government!

  • Mr. Vice President, I respect you and the President. But wtf are you doing? I mean...does dem/rep mean anything anymore? Multinationals are stifling this country at every turn. These are issues that effect all Americans, dem or rep. Please help us sir....Please....otherwise...w­e have to look to Mr. Jefferson.

  • @FreeinTX <<<<<<<<IDIOT

  • Joe Biden claimed that the $862 Billion failed stimulus ($400 remains unspent) “created or saved” 750,000 jobs. Economists don’t recognize jobs created, and the jobs saved may have been keep local agencies afloat. When the money ran out, the people lost their jobs. Currently States are considering filing bankruptcy for spending.

    The Govt owns 61% of GM, GOOGLE, “GM's electric-car fantasy running out of gas” and read links. It demonstrates that the Green Movement should be free market driven

  • @the82spartans - I agree that job creation is what we really need. There are SO many people without jobs as we speak, and this is a real problem that needs to be addressed quickly.

  • If we reduce our energy consumption, governments at all levels will see reduced revenue from taxes. Consumers will then be 'rewarded' by having their energy tax rates increased. Governments are wasteful by nature and will not tolerate having THEIR revenue cut. After I see a substantial reduction in my taxes, maybe I'll think about reducing my energy use.
