You lying, cheating, scum-bag, mother------ bastard politicians from both sides in the slimy House of non-representatives, you passed Crap & Tax.

Bastards all...The Crap & Tax bill passed the House based on - what? Global warming - excuse me, they had to change it to "climate change" to cover the fact that temps have gone down lately - and its massive threat to mankind? BS...there isn't any global warming, there is no threat. Its nothing more than a power and tax grab and always has been. Read this:

"Why do people think the planet is warming? One reason is that the temperature data from weather stations appear to be hopelessly contaminated by urban heat effects. A survey of the 1221 temperature stations in the US by meteorologist Anthony Watts and his colleagues is now more than 80 percent complete. The magnitude of putative global warming over the last 150 years is about 0.7 °C. But only 9 percent of meteorological stations in the US are likely to have temperature errors lower than 1 °C. More than two-thirds of temperature sensors used to estimate global warming are located near artificial heating sources such as air conditioning vents, asphalt paving, or buildings. These sources are likely to introduce artifacts greater than 2 °C into the temperature record."

And now The Pelosi-run assholes have passed the biggest tax increase in the history of the universe...fortunately the Senate still has to act on it...its not about the environment, warming or cooling or anything else...its about the people in power exerting that power over you and me and directing trillions of our money to their cronies...

Lew Rockwell:

"If anyone complained about the weather, the late libertarian giant Leonard Read would admonish him: “God takes care of the weather. Imagine if the government were running it!” Now, of course, we have the feds trying to run it, with their thieving climate bill only the beginning. There is also continued Pentagon “weather-modification” research for the usual murderous purposes. Since the core ambition of the state is to displace God while enriching its Faustian associates through redistribution, none of this can be a surprise."

Michelle Malkin outs the Republican 8 assholes who voted for the damn thing. So, we have Republicans because...?

Peter Schiff:

"As if this [socialized health care] were not bad enough, today the House votes on “cap and trade” legislation. Disguised as an environmental bill, this proposal would merely be another gigantic tax. The lion’s share of the new revenue is already committed to politically connected special interests that will reap windfalls at everyone else’s expense. To make matters worse, the bill before Congress amounts to a blank slate, with the EPA empowered to draft the details in any manner they see fit. If Congress is going to shoot the economy in the knee, they should at least be required to pull the trigger themselves...

“Cap and trade” will do nothing to reduce pollution, yet it will drive up production costs throughout the economy – rendering us even less globally competitive that we are today. In addition to the huge cost of paying the tax, its enforcement involves the creation of an entire new bureaucracy, the costs of which will be borne by American consumers in the form of higher prices."

Obama's EPA Quashes Climate Change Science

The Environmental Protection Agency lies and suppresses a report for political purposes...NO! OUr beloved American government wouldn't do ANYTHING against the best interests of its citizens! Right...

Rush Limbaugh:

"This is so unnecessary, there isn't any global warming.  This bill is not about climate change.  It's not about improving the environment.  It's not about anything but raising taxes and taking away people's freedom. ...There is no global warming.  Temperatures have not risen in the last nine years in an appreciable way and this legislation is not going to lower temperatures.  It's not going to do anything they claim it's going to do.  Nobody is going to have fully read this.  There are over a thousand mandates, meaning limits on freedom, over 1,300 pages.  Even the chairman of the committee, Henry Nostrilitis Waxman [the biggest asshole in Washington] doesn't know what's all in it.  It doesn't matter to him what all is in it...

Let me tell you something else that's happened.  I read about this in a lot of different places today.  What I have here is a piece from the Competitive Enterprise Institute which summarizes it pretty well.  They are making public an internal study on climate science, which was suppressed by the EPA and Lisa Jackson.  "Internal EPA email messages, released by CEI earlier in the week, indicate that the report was kept under wraps and its author silenced because of pressure to support the Administration's agenda of regulating carbon dioxide."

The point is the Environmental Protection Agency, Obama Administration, they don't care about the truth in any of this.  This is not about global warming.  It is not about climate change.  It's about nothing but taxes.  It's taxing everything they can get their hands on.  It's revenue generation.  Obama yesterday even had the gall to call this a jobs bill."

Wall Street Journal op-ed:

"The collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon."

IDB: Waxman-Markey: Man-Made Disaster

"The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on an anti-stimulus package that in the name of saving the earth will destroy the American economy. Smoot-Hawley will seem like a speed bump.

Not since a misguided piece of legislation imposed tariffs that turned a recession into a depression has there been a piece of legislation as bad as Waxman-Markey.

Its centerpiece is a "cap and trade" provision that has been rightfully derided as "cap and tax." It is in fact a tax on energy everywhere it is consumed on everything it is used to make or provide.

It is the largest tax increase in American history — a tax on all Americans — even the 95% that President Obama pledged would never see a tax increase."

Sweetness & Light:



This chart, from the US Chamber of Commerce, maps out the regulatory process and implementation of H.R. 2454, the ‘American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.’

‘Cap And Trade’ will impose 397 new federal regulations and 1060 new mandates. It will mean that much more unwanted and unnecessary control over our lives and liberty.

The Obamanation, in just a short few months, has already given us so many reasons for impeachment, even a coup. This is just the latest and biggest reason to start a true revolution...

Now another thing Crap & Tax does is set up a new market for "carbon credits"...seeing as nobody has read the bill yet they don't really know how it works, but its been described as kind of a stock market for carbon credits; companies can buy extra credits to pollute more, I guess. But ask this: what happens when a company suddenly needs more credits and there aren't any available, what then? Obama shuts the company down? Company goes bankrupt? What about the investors in the company? Another government bailout?

Why the fuck not? Obama wants to run everything, including the USA into the ground...

UPDATE:

Ron Paul:

"If our government continues to kick the economy while its down, it will be a long time before it gets back up.  In fact, jobs are much more likely to go overseas, compounding our problems.

And for what?  Contrary to claims repeated over and over, there is no consensus in the scientific community that global warming is getting worse or that it is manmade.  In fact over 30,000 scientists signed a petition recently directly disputing the claims on which this policy is based.  Legitimate environmental claims should instead be directed towards the public sector.  The government, especially the military, is the most serious polluter in the country, and is exempt from most EPA regulations.  Meanwhile Washington bureaucrats have classified the very air we exhale as a pollutant and have gone unchallenged in this incredible assertion.  The logical consequence is that there will come a time when we will have to buy a government permit just to emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from our own lungs!"
