Cap & Tax Is Back

It will take decades to recover from the havoc Democrats have created since they acquired all the keys to the liquor cabinet in 2008. ObamaCare alone will probably bankrupt the nation within a generation. But the worst hasn't hit us yet. In addition to an amnesty program that will open the floodgates to tens of millions of Third World public dependents, Tax & Charade still lurks in the background. The House has already passed a version. If made into law, it will plunge the nation into depression, easily double the already atrocious unemployment rate, and grant the federal government totalitarian power over all areas of human endeavor — all in the name of making a futile gesture toward relieving a "crisis" that an increasing number of Americans are aware does not exist.
All the Dems need is a Senate bill to coordinate with the House bill; Comrade Obama is chomping at the bit to sign the result. Two of the most pernicious kleptocrats in the Senate, Hanoi John Kerry and the allegedly moderate Joe Lieberman, have taken the lead with the American Power Act. The bill summary and section-by-section analysis are already online. Prominently featured are draconian restrictions on "global warming pollution" — i.e., the utterly harmless CO2 that is generated by literally all human activity.
If Dems are able to ram this through like ObamaCare, plant a garden. The economy is likely to collapse, as probably intended. Another option is to move to China, India, or Mexico — where the last American manufacturing jobs will be headed.
Not even the left-wing maniacs in Washington think driving American industry overseas will have any impact on the weather. Cap & Trade is a naked power grab. For the gang of thugs that calls itself our government to have the unprecedented level of totalitarian control it's after, not only our economic freedom but the wealth it created must be destroyed.
