Zogby Poll Shows Only 30% of Americans Support "Cap and Trade" Taxation

10 months ago

Secretary Chu, America's Environment Czar, announced on Earth Day that the Obama administration's cap-and-trade propsal will save our planet from evil carbon dioxide poisoning.

It doesn't look like the rest of America agrees with him, though. A new Zogby poll shows that only 30% are sold on Al Gore's climatology religion.

I have a simple, two-part question that can be answered with a single "yes" or "no."

Is government the nation's largest polluter and will government be exempt from these cap-and-trade carbon taxes?

Hmm...

Now consider this: the cap-and-trade will not be a direct tax that you can't avoid, but instead will be a tax on consumer goods by turning CO2 into a commodity that is traded like grain or silver or oil on the market. "Carbon Futures" could become a regular part of the market trader's vernacular in the near future.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that these new taxes will mean $800 to $1500 more per household per year in higher costs of living. All so some more Wall Street chumps can make more money.

Here's some more questions to answer: is restricting our income potential the best way to help our economy and who will decide what the the price for CO2 will be and will they also charge the bears, dolphins, whales, squirrels, etc. for their emissions? Or just humans?

At least most of America hasn't been sold on the Gore hype.
