There is still time to stop the legislative monstrosity known as the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill before the Senate approves it. But for that to happen, Americans must learn how bad it is.
Let's briefly review the basics: The bill is ostensibly designed to curb man-caused carbon emissions (presumably without outlawing breathing) to retard global warming.
Even if we accept, for purposes of argument, the assumptions of radical, hysterical leftist environmentalists that man-caused global warming will destroy the planet if evil, rich capitalists don't radically curtail their own contributions to the catastrophe, Waxman-Markey would not prevent this Armageddon.

Cap-and-Tax: Government vs. America
It should be called "Uncap and Tax".
Since this is the effect.
It will not cap greenhouse gases since manufacturers will just move their plants to China and India where there are less restrictions.
It will increases taxes on U.S. Citizens.
We know Liberals not by what they say but what they do.
We do know Liberals want to increase taxes while sending Jobs overseas.
