Of course he would. It is a codeword for redistribution and more tax.

Cap and trade has nothing to do with something that is a FRAUD and SCAM, Why do all thse cowards on the Right just fold like cheap cameras,cite all the Studies that show Carbon dioxide does not lead Temperature rise it is just the Opposite,so it does not cause Warming!

"...if government heavily taxed coffee, we could not only reduce our dependence on foreign coffee beans, we would create more jobs in industries whose products were substitutes for coffee (say milk or orange juice)."

Such twisted logic is already at work. We tax cigarettes to discourage smoking yet use the revenue to fund children's health care. So to expand children's health care will we not need more people to smoke?
