There is no good reason to believe this is true. Raising taxes, especially just on the rather high brackets has not been correlated with a decline in economic activity in the past.
The cap and trade system would at worst act as a small tax on people. Europe already has a working example, and Germany is able to have a robust export economy while still having a cap and trade system. The arguments that this would kill manufacturing, etc are baseless. Cap and trade was also used in the acid rain program.
This is a funny issue where the environmentalists and right wing-nuts are on the same side.
What's the "small" tax going to be......got a number for us ? Or are you just making things up ?
Brave Stranger...You dont understand...Obama knows exactly what he's doing...purposely destroying the private sector...so that he can model the US economy under a European socialistic model...
whether intentional or not, i do believe that there are efforts underway to destroy the private sector.
CHARLESTON -- With the state's unemployment numbers approaching decade-long highs, state lawmakers are considering raising taxes on employers to prevent the state's unemployment compensation fund from going bust if the national economy continues its decline.
government will not take responsibility for getting their own financial house in order and are trying to pass the buck to an already overwhelmed private sector. the stupidity of trying to damage the same sector that you receive your own funding from never ceases to amaze me. THIS WILL NOT HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. YOU CANNOT INCREASE YOUR SPENDING WHILE CUTTING YOUR PAY, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING!

How so? Its just more of the same. The corporate owned government is doing everything in its power to destroy the middle class. This has been happening for quite some time though.
Lol, lets rip on the French and make jokes about freedom fries.I know you may have a heart attack but I would prefer to have an European socialistic model instead of the race to the bottom to become a third world nation thats going on right now.

What incentive does the government have to destroy the middle-class?
