A “carbon tax” accomplishes two things.
Allows the government to take more of our money.
Allows the government to piss away more of our money.
What could possibly go wrong?
For all the pissing it should be called the Urea Tax.
why should it be free to spew dangerous shit into the atmosphere? what if a company wants to spill toxic shit right into the Saluda? is that ok with your A-1 cocksucker friend Manning? or is the only difference that even “conservatives” can see shit floating in the river, while poison in the atmosphere is a bit less tangible and harder for the “conservative” mind to grasp?
They are the job creators. It should be their air to do with as they please. If there was no government regulation business would solve the problem, They would bottle fresh air and sell it to the highest bidder.
“They are the job creators”
Once the rest of industry leaves the country we won’t have to worry about it.
You joke about the bottling air thing but people actually do sell bottled air. Apparently it is a big thing in China.
Who said I was joking. Bottled air is the capitalist solution to air pollution.
Simply allowing lawsuits by those impacted by poor air quality against those polluting should rectify most situations, but as things stand now the EPA runs interference on such things.
With something like global warming though, if the actual damage won’t be done for a century or more, you can’t really sue for that. By the time those chickens come home to roost a lawsuit won’t do much and the people who caused the damage may not even be around anymore.
Maybe, maybe not. With the solar spot activity so low, people might benefit from some global warming if it’s anthropogenic.
All that aside, that’s not a problem any government is fixing if it’s even really a problem.
My guess is that technology is what’s going to save humankind from such things.
Besides the cost of mounting such a suit, Republican Tort Reform has made this unprofitable. With the capping of punitive damages no one can afford to take on these cases. So big business wins again. Thank you GOP.
You won’t get an argument from me, but I default back to my original statement, “Simply allowing lawsuits” and all that entails.(like fixing the judicial mechanism)
You will get no where with Republicans on that argument.
That argument won’t get anywhere with Democrats either(who want to save the EPA).
My answer:
Who cares
:)
Idiotwind, your name is appropriate. “why should [you] be free to spew dangerous shit into the atmosphere?”
You CO2 emitter.
The environment is a liberal hoax.
Liberal in the environment is a hoax.
You got all the words, just in the wrong order.
Great idea. Tax carbon so that we shut down American industries and we can import products produced with greater CO2 emissions than the American industries.
Not if we have both a carbon tax and a carbon tariff on imported goods.
Glad to see the pushback, but they need to present reasons other than just the economic calamity it will inflict. They need to fight back against the whole premise that there is manmade global warming and that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. The climate has been changing for 4 1/2 billion years and signing a piece of paper isn’t going to stop it. Even if it were a problem, how is inflicting harm on our economy going to stop other developing countries from increasing fossil fuel consumption?
So how do we deal with carbon in the atmosphere? Other than putting our heads in the sand and believing whatever the oil companies tell us to believe?
Ummmm…Kemosabe…Lindsey Grahamnesty?…isn’t he the same RINO
pig who put lesbians on the Supremes?
Why yes, Tonto—he IS don’tcha know…and every time he picks
up soap in the shower we can hear him scream
And wasn’t it Grahamnesty and fellow RINO Rubio who want to
shove 50 million ILLEGALS down our throats?
Why yes, Tonto—the very same don’tcha know—gutless RINO pigs
even with lipstick and yes a gay petticoat
And isn’t it Liar-In-Chief Obama who ignorantly thinks we’re
going to roll over for more failed Al Gore scam?
Right again, Tonto—and just so ya know—the Tea Train has
already crushed them and **** does NOT make jam !!!
