Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) to Propose a Carbon Tax

Regular readers here know my position on man-made global warming. I believe it is a hoax being perpetrated on the people all for the purpose of new taxes and regulations. Let’s face it, the more taxes they take from you, and the more regulations they impose on you, the more control they have on you. They want your money, that’s the bottom line. As I have said before, if it wasn’t about taxes than the leader on the global warming hoax wouldn’t be a politician, it would be a scientist. Scientists are split on the issue, while more and more politicians are falling in line with the scam as they see the money that may be generated.

Then there are the wackos and all their theories about what is leading to global warming, I have posted stories about cow farts, water cooler banning, earth worms causing global warming, bans on lightbulbs, meat eaters causing global warming, Genocide in Darfur being caused by global warming, cats breeding too quickly because of global warming, birth control to curb global warming, and the insanity goes on and on. Just read my posts under the global warming catagory. When you see them altogether you will see how insane these people are. You will also see examples of new tax propositions being floated.These people are being led down the path to more taxation and are willing because they believe it is for the greater good.

You can read here about the latest tax proposal by the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan (a Democrat). He is proposing a carbon tax.

A powerful House Democrat said on Friday that he planned to propose a steep new “carbon tax” that would raise the cost of burning oil, gas and coal, in a move that could shake up the political debate on global warming.

The proposal came from Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee

He claims he doesn’t really want to impose a carbon tax, he just wants to show Americans aren’t willing to sacrifice in order to stop global warming.

RIIIIIIIIGGHHTTT, have you ever met a Democrat that proposed to raise taxes didn’t really want to raise taxes?

But Mr. Dingell, in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on C-Span, suggested that his goal was to show that Americans are not willing to face the real cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. His message appeared to be that Democratic leaders were setting unrealistic legislative goals.

“I sincerely doubt that the American people will be willing to pay what this is really going to cost them,” said Mr. Dingell, whose committee will be drafting a broad bill on climate change this fall.

“I will be introducing in the next little bit a carbon tax bill, just to sort of see how people think about this,” he continued. “When you see the criticism I get, I think you’ll see the answer to your question.”

You and I are too self-centered and selfish to sacrifice to save the planet from a crisis that doesn’t exist. Typical liberal condescension, he soooo smart he has to prove to us he is better than us. He is willing to sacrifice and we are not. He knows what is best for us, so know he is trying to prove his point.

But most Democrats are staunchly opposed, saying that a tax would raise the costs of travel, commuting and heating and cooling homes, and that it would be wildly unpopular at a time when voters are already angry about high energy costs. Republicans, they said, would seize on any such proposal as proof that Democrats were bent on raising taxes and increasing the size of government.

So most Democrats are opposed to it? Why? Not because they are against taxes, but because it would be politically unpopular.

But just let a Democrat win the whitehouse and you can rest assured that these new taxes are coming.

2008, you decide.
