No one cares what the people want! Does anyone still think this is a free country?
No kidding.
We're going to get this crap imposed on us by our worthless scumbag leaders, no matter what.
I sat down and looked at the numbers. The Green guys always want to lump the fifty states into America....thus controlling the situation via a national mechanism.
The thing is...when you do the per capita game with carbon...and then go individual countries versus indiviual states...then things get to be real interesting.
My state of Bama has a 11 rating...fairly comparable to Germany which has a 10 rating. The Brit’s? They have a 9.79 rating...while California has a 46 rating. In fact, when you settle upon the map of the US and compare individual states....almost thirty states are within the range of most European countries. Amazing...isn’t it.
Then we come to the top ten US states with issues. Vermont has a 50 rating. Then there is Texas, California, and New York.
For cap and trade purposes...lets play a real interesting game. Any US state within ten percent points of a European country...gets out of Cap and Trade rules. Of the top ten problem states...nine are blue states. Of the bottom ten problem states...seven are red states. Kinda curious...how things lie now.
I would strongly suggest that people think long and hard about individual states and how things get skewed at the national level. Bama has been doing its part for over two hundred years...and within the numbers of any European country. We really don’t want to get compared to New York or California.
