We're All Going to Pay More for Everything!

It's up to the Senate now. The House narrowly passed the Waxman Markey bill, the cap and trade/energy bill. This bill is a massive energy tax in disguise! I have observed that if you make an untrue statement enough times, people will start accepting it as truth! That's what is happening with the climate change argument. But, people in the public eye, like Al Gore, national media, big business and politicians who have something to gain by this belief, continue to promote this faulty climate change theory as a true fact.

The theory that mankind can somehow affect climate change is like saying that mankind can stop the tide from coming in. The earth has had natural cycles of climate change for eons. We are actually in a cooling phase at the present time. The change in climate, in the 100 plus years in which it has been recorded, has changed by a small fraction of a percent and scientists say that this is a natural phenomenon. Thousands of climatologists and other scientists have debunked the theory that man is changing the climate. There are already environmental controls in place that keep our air cleaner and that protect our environment.

There is a lot of money in this environmental and climate game, for the government especially. The Waxman Markey bill is an excellent way for government to increase our taxes indirectly. They have a wonderful justification - They are protecting our environment! So, they can collect billions in taxes and fees to offset their excessive spending. They have to get the money somewhere, don't they! China won't loan us any more money! The result of this bill will do little or nothing for our environment, but will do a LOT for the government coffers!

We, the consumers and taxpayers, are the real losers in this game. Our energy bills for our homes and businesses are going to rise dramatically. Whenever energy costs increase, the price of goods and services also increase because energy goes into the cost of producing these goods and services.

Contact your senators and tell them you OPPOSE the WAXMAN MARKEY BILL! If the Senate passes this bill it will do nothing to affect climate change or create cleaner air, but you will feel it in your wallet!
