Global warming legislation is moving along in the Democrat-controlled Congress. There is great concern the legislation will be used to include the largest tax increase in American history, the cap-and-trade energy tax.
The Heritage Foundation says, “The $1.9 trillion generated over eight years from a cap-and-trade bill would still be larger than the $1.5 trillion from NASA, the New Deal, and Hurricane Katrina.”
President Obama conceded last year in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle that under his plan, energy prices would “skyrocket.”
That is why I have signed the Americans for Prosperity No Climate Tax Pledge:
“I, ___________________________, pledge to the taxpayers of the State of _________________ and to the American people that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in federal government revenue.”
I urge my conservative colleagues in state and federal government to join me in signing the No Climate Tax Pledge.
