Obama says in the video above that under his plan of Cap and Trade, that energy prices for consumers, that is you and me, will necessarily skyrocket.
My family owns a couple small businesses. I guarantee that at least one of the businesses would not survive skyrocketing energy prices. If that is the kind of change that Mr. Obama was speaking of during his campaign, then he can keep it, I will take the cash instead.
For those of you that have bought into the myth of man-made global warming, and actually believe that you are mighty enough to destroy this huge planet, it might be time to step back and get over yourself. We have exploded nuclear bombs on the planet, the Earth has survived. The Earth uses the very same carbon emissions that Obama is wanting to charge companies for producing. Global warming is a hoax perpetrated by environmentalists to make you feel bad for using energy. Why? That is a very good question. Some of them, like Al Gore, have made and will make a lot more money, because of your guilt. Some worship the planet like a god. Some, I think are just not happy if you are happy. I know it sounds crazy, but as Michael Savage says, liberalism is a mental disorder, and oddly enough most hard core environmentalists are liberals.
For those of you who do not know what cap and trade is, shame on you, the government is about to gouge your wallet without your knowledge, you should educate yourself. Too many people are tired of hearing and talking about politics, believe me, I can understand why, but they are putting themselves in a position where the government can do whatever they want with little resistance.
Obama's Cap and Trade system would put a cap on the amount of "carbon" or "green house gasses" that a company could "emit." Sounds harmless enough, however, whatever they use above and beyond what the government tells them they can use, they would have to pay for. Are companies just going to eat this extra cost? You are crazy if think so, they are going to pass this "carbon tax" on to you, the consumer, as Obama says in the video. Some sources say it would cost the "average" consumer an additional $700 - $1400 a year. (you're going to need that extra $8 a week Obama is giving you in your paycheck)
To those of you who voted for Obama, I have one simple question. Is this the kind of change you were hoping for when you punched that ballot? I sure hope you are getting your money's worth of change, because at the end of the day I fear that is all we are going to have left, change.
Please write, call and/or email your congressmen and tell them you are very much against Cap & Trade! Get proactive in your future, as much as you hate politics it affects you whether you like it or not!
