Why are Republicans fighting against the new Cap and Tax legislation in the Senate?

We don't have time to think we have to act now! If we waste time actually reading the bill then it will be too late and Global Warming will kill us all!



It will be just as glorious as the stimulus package, if we pass it now unemployment wont reach 8%!Why are Republicans fighting against the new Cap and Tax legislation in the Senate?
We must not delay this any longer.

It doesn't matter that the average household will see costs increase by $3600 according to some estimates.

It doesn't matter that the net effect on employment will be net job losses.

It doesn't matter that over 31,000 scientists think human emissions of CO2 have little effect on global climate.
Well I suppose a 50% or more increase in your utilities bills is a good thing when wages are held as the same I suppose it's economics stupid via Bill Clinton.Why are Republicans fighting against the new Cap and Tax legislation in the Senate?
People wanted change? Here is the change they will get at my company once this "cap and trade" hits. I WILL change the thermostat to 87 in the summer and to 52 in the winter months. I am hoping this will offset the additional tax on me for "our use" (company). If not we may be forced to go as high as 90 and 50 respectively. Here your change folks!
Do Liberals understand that they are turning this country into France? Everyone depending on the government when what made this country great was the individual.Why are Republicans fighting against the new Cap and Tax legislation in the Senate?

I would like to hear from one leftist here why it is this bill must be shoved down the throats of the citizens of this country without time for anyone to read it. Such tactics can only be defined as fascist in nature and oppressive to the citizens of this country. How else can you describe the actions of an administration who does not want any opposition to develop through information and debate? This is exactly how the so-called "stimulus" bill passed. This is also how they will legalize millions of illegal immigrants. This is quickly becoming the Modus Operandi of this administration and should send chills down the spines of all citizens. Anyone who does not see that this is right out of the writings of Karl Marx needs to start doing some reading because we are all in danger of losing our country.
The reason why Republicans are against taxes is because it stunts economic growth. In business there is something called an opportunity cost, for example say you have a $10 bill and there are two items for $10 a piece you can only buy one item. Now take into respect when it comes to taxes you can either buy goods and services at the store which creates jobs and economic growth or the government can impose more taxes which takes money out of the economy. Thus, consumers don't spend as much money, businesses don't make as much, people lose hours or jobs, then they don't spend as much, and it just shrinks the ecnomoy as a whole.
Get a grip, nothing is going to happen, they're all meeting in Copenhagen this year for discussions yet they bar anyone who's research is against their findings.



We don't need this Bill as it's indirect taxation.
Yet they wouldn't allow the amendment the GOP offered saying the program would terminate if national unemployment exceeded 15%.



It is a job killer.
I hope you are being sarcastic. No one is this gullible and stupid.
Because of the hidden cost that will hurt people like most government programs do!!!!!!
Are we all dead yet?
I hope to god that more of you kids don't think this way. This is scary!
Obstructionists WAH!
