WASHINGTON -- Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. To back up his claim he is proposing a recipe many people won't like a 50-cent gasoline tax, a carbon tax and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.
"I'm trying to have everybody understand that this is going to cost and that it's going to have a measure of pain that you're not going to like," Rep. John Dingell, who is marking his 52nd year in Congress, said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press.

People need to write their Congressmen and demand no new taxes. It worked with the immigration bill....we proved that. Close down the switchboard at the White House again. They haven’t even proven that there is Global Warming yet but they want to tax us on it. It’s not Global Warming....it’s the money they want.
I just emailed this article to everyone in my address book. So should every Freeper. Nothing pisses off peple more than high gas prices. They need to see the biggest cause of high prices. TAXES at every level of government being tacked on.
I'm baaaaaack!. >:-)
Only a corrupt and empty government would tell you it can control the weather.
I wouldn't. The government just needs to get out of the way, and keep the environ-nazis away too. The power companies, and power districts* will build the plants.
*Nebraska has no private power companies, but at one time they had nuclear plants at twoo different sites, and earlier had the first plant to pump nuclear generated power into the grid. That one has since been converted to fossile fuel, it was never designed for a long life.
Only a liberal would think you can cure (alleged) global warming by burning other people’s money.
One reason why the 17th Amendment should never have passed. In a world without the 17th, Senators appointed by poor and conservative states would oppose such dubious House shenanigans and, hopefully, stop them dead in their tracks.
They gonna’ try to pay off God?

Global Warming on FreeRepublic
As usual, the dingbat dems live up to their tax and spend reputations.
Send them this link too Global Warming Primer it is very instructive. From the National Center for Policy Analysis.
” Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. “
So would a high hard one. But I am not signing up for either one. Help yourself, Dingell!
Translation...only you foul-smelling little tax-paying simpletons will suffer. We Elites are far too important to live by the rules we set for you.
"And I saw the boss come a-walkin' down along the factory line,
He said, "We all have to tighten up our belts."
But he didn't look any thinner than he did a year ago
And I wonder just how hungry that man felt.
He knows it ain't too hard to get along with somebody else's troubles,
They don't make you lose any sleep at night.
Just as long as fate is out there burstin'somebody' else's bubbles.
Everything is gonna be alright.
Bear in mind that he represents a big auto-making region and really doesn't want to see the golden goose slain on the altar of global warming.
52 years?!?! Another example of desperately needed term limits.
8 for presidents, 12-18 for senators, 12-18 for congressmen. No pensions, no lifetime health insurance, no automatic or self-approved pay raises.
They can’t get income taxes raised, so they try to use the excuse that we have to DO SOMETHING for the environment. It’s the new century’s version of ‘for the children’.
