RSSThe Lighter Side Of Cap And Trade
Carl Andrews | July 3, 2009
The citizens of the United States are in danger of being saddled with the biggest tax increase in human history.
That will be the result if the “Cap and Trade” bill recently passed by the House and now on it’s way to the Senate becomes law.
The costs associated with this boondoggle will effect each and every citizen of America, due to the fact that it will apply a tax to all energy consumption.
And hardest-hit by what should be named the “Global Warming Panic Plan’ will be those least able to afford it, folks that are on the lower rung of the economic ladder, who already spend a disproportionate percentage of their income on such things as home heating, gasoline, etc.
Someone as cynical as myself views this as simply a way for Congress to vote for a massive tax increase without calling it a tax increase.
Perhaps that is only part of the case.
We all know that Congress doesn’t bother to read a bill to see what is in it before they vote on it, so perhaps our legislators are casting their votes based upon having read this book:
Regardless of whether this is Congress’ latest method of emptying our pockets, or if it is meant to placate the fears of the global warming fanatics and their High Priest and supreme leader, Al “boy it’s hot in here” Gore, there has to be an easier and cheaper method.
Fear not, gentle reader, there is an easier and much cheaper way.
One that would just as effective, while having the added benefit of being much less taxing.
In our relentless support of Truth, Justice, and the American Way, we here at The Freedom Medium have come up with an alternative to Cap and Trade.
We call our proposal International Breathe On A Tree Day.
We use the word International because if global warming is indeed a global problem, then everyone needs to get involved.
Here’s how it works:
“Climate Change” advocates claim that global warming occurs due primarily to rising CO2 levels.
And we humans exhale carbon dioxide each time we breathe.
Now if we were all to spend (not everyone all at once of course, after all, someone has to work on health care reform) one day a week breathing on a tree, our CO2 emissions problems would be solved.
See, plants absorb carbon dioxide, whish they then use to produce chlorophyll.
They then release oxygen because they don’t need the oxygen that is created when the sunlight breaks down water molecules in the chlorophyll.
More oxygen, less carbon dioxide, problem solved!
Of course, the one drawback to this proposal is that we probably couldn’s get China to sign off on it, hell, those SOB’s still burn coal.
Of course, some of you will call this plan the ravings of a group of lunatics.
But if you think about it honestly, it is no more ludicrous than the Cap and Trade bill now working it’s way through the halls of Congress.
