Cap and Trade Explained (in plain old English)

Cap and Trade is a tax, but it's not any ordinary tax. It's a tax on energy which means it's a tax on every level of production. Don't let Congress pass this crazy and destructive tax without understanding what it's going to do to your bottom line. Make no mistake. Your standard of living is going down while your taxes are going up!

Think maybe the "Rural Council" Executive Order might have something to do with the Cap in Trade bill "they" are just sitting on right now?

CARBON CREDITS won't save the planet...regardless of what scam your believing in. It's about "global governance" and "global economy"..as stated in the "Dutch Addendum" leaked during the COP15 TREATY...if you were paying attention.

The money will go to companies who will sell their credits, as they cut back on carbon use by redesigning their factories. So all that money will be spent one way or another- nobody's going to get rich, except maybe the brokers.

But the video is correct- it will be very, very expensive.

Ok.

FInd a way to fix your imaginary problems with the air without stealing trillions of dollars from the tax payers.

A poor and misinformed explanation of cap-and-trade. By conflating cap-and-trade with ``a tax,'' the presenter is trying to scare people. Cap-and-trade will certainly have some costs--but they are not ``taxes'' and the benefits may outweigh the costs. Moreover, cap-and-trade is a step away from ``command-and-control'' government directives and a stimulus to industry to develop more efficient solutions. Industry, and George Bush, embraced C-and-T for sulfur dioxide reduction.
