  • 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!

  • Ok, Al, which countries have imposed both taxes and are doing well economically? I'd love to know.

  • 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!

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Capping Prosperity: watch?v=SqsvKCRdomg

  • @homertalk You're an idiot.

  • Oh right, we only have "two choices".

    Nope, the third one, NO CARBON TAX!

  • dingell is a communist piece of garbage.'

    He should be put in jail til he dies! As should Gore and his wacked out wife and drunken kid!

  • 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!

  • 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!
