Evil carbon lurks everywhere throughout the atmosphere - even within the cells of every living thing! Oh noes, we gotta do something!?!
Do not fear, Cap'n Trade is here! If Congress doesn't pass legislation to save the planet, the Cap'n and his scientists at the EPA are going to raise taxes on corporations! In other words, the Obama Administration and the EPA are determined to destroy The United States of America as we know it:
"This is the largest assault on democracy and freedom in this country that I have ever experienced," Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) said at an Energy and Commerce Committee hearing last week, adding that he feared the cap-and-trade proposal more than the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and former President Clinton's impeachment trial.
Rep. Shimkus forgot to add...worse than the Fox Network's early cancellation of Arrested Development and worse than Barcelona defeating Arsenal in the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final.
Aah, it's just another squishy totalitarian solution that will one day bring us environmentally sustainable warfare.
But if the corporations say they're green, then we don't have to tax them, right?
Anyhow, what good would it do to tax large corporations if Obama's just gonna turn around and give it back to them?
