Issues: Taxes Energy

Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement after 22 free-market groups joined him in support of his anti-carbon tax congressional resolution, H.Con.Res.89:

"A national energy tax would cripple America's economy, raise electricity bills, and cost families more money when they fill up at the pump," Rep. Scalise said. "I'm glad that nearly two dozen free-market groups have joined the growing army that supports my legislation to halt President Obama's proposed job-killing carbon tax. Since day one, the Obama Administration has waged an all-out war against American energy, and I'm proud that House Republicans have fought them every step of the way. I will continue to do everything in my power to combat this President's radical and misguided global warming agenda."
