A declaration of war

Go read about "cap and trade" at the WSJ and Redstate If you live in areas that use coal to create energy you're about to be fucked. Well, we'll all be fucked but the Midwest, Southern and Plains states will be hit hardest and all in the name of protecting the environment. This bill will force businesses to purchase carbon offsets the cost of which will be passed on to the consumer. This is a national energy tax. The White House sees this as a way to fund their pet projects.
The effect of this massive tax increase will be felt by every American. According to cost analysis of similar cap and tax proposals, the total energy bill for the average American household will increase by more than $3,000 per year. At a time when families across the heartland and across America are hurting, the last thing they need is to be burdened with even more punishing taxes.
Redstate calls this a declaration of war. It is...on you amd me.
