Block the Job-Killing "Cap-and-Trade" Tax Scheme

I agree with the columnist who stated that the "Cap and Tax" proposal supported by Norm Dicks is "all cost, no benefit" for America. It is a significantly intrusive piece of legislation that would impose enormous costs on American households, including sharp rises in gasoline and electric costs. Yet it would offer, at best, only a slight benefit in terms of CO2 emissions."Cap and Tax" would also send many, many more jobs to China and other economic rivals who will not be putting these same new regulations on their job creators. Our political class today loves regulation and picking the losers and winners in the economy through corrupt back-room deals. Politically favored big businesses such as GE, the world government crowd, and environmental extremists in America love this legislation.Those who love the American way of life, prosperity, and family wage jobs should join me in opposing it.
