....AGAIN

When prominent members of both political parties talk about the possibility of taxing fossil fuels – you know something serious has shifted in U.S. politics.
On Monday morning, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, a largely pro-business Democrat, published a column in The Washington Post calling for the imposition of a carbon tax.

Typical Internationalist Authoritarian Control Freak Leftist pushing for more taxes on gas.
All based on a big lie where the so called "science" cooks the books on 1 of the 4 necessary elements in order to sustain life. The other 3 elements being oxygen, water and light.
A “carbon tax” is nothing but a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.
Or the poor to the poorer.
Yep it’s all a big lie.
And the highly ignorant, extremely gullible believe anything from on the record certified liars, bleeding heart well meaning idiots will fall for it.... every time hook, line and sinker.
Im sure that a-hole john “tammy fay” bohner and the rest of the GOP scum are all for it too. No doubt in my mind
Lower gas prices = less gas taxes collected = gotta raise taxes elsewhere
Oh don’t you know it. I was expecting this. And when gasoline climbs back to all time highs, we’ll all feeling it. Oh by the way, once the tax is in place, over time they can and will increase it.

“both political parties talk about the possibility of taxing”
Uniparty Rules!
Isn’t it interesting how every government inspired “solution” involves increasing taxes?
It goes straight to the bureaucrats. They are very good with money.
If weinies like him could.. They’d tax stardust.
hey the sun came up..... let’s tax it
cancerous government will use any ploy to STEAL MORE HARDWORKING TAXPAYER’s MONEY... and spend it o9n crony kickback corrupt schemes...and the free stuff crowd to buy votes.. neother party represents the middle class and its time they woke up... the dems own the stupid black vote, the jewish traditional libtard vote, and have fabrocated the “war on womoen” and now imp[orting illegal voters.. time to flush the toilet..
Aren’t gas taxes calculated on the number of gallons sold and not the dollar amount sold? Lower price will mean more gallons sold and more gas tax. I think this “carbon” tax is just a way to put a new tax in place while the price of gas is falling and thus won’t be noticed.
OPEC hates fracking. They are dumping oil in the market to put the frackers out of business.
Period.
Why not ask for a hard US debt ceiling. Just think of all that carbon pollution that more US debt creates.
In addition to per mile tax and mileage tracking devices being made mandatory on vehicles.
I agree with you, but some Freepers will be along to tell you the new taxes really are necessary.
The poor have no wealth to transfer. And that group grows larger each day. Pretty soon there will be no one to take money from.
