Isn’t it funny that on the day of and the days leading up to this historic vote on the largest tax increase in American history, all you see on the news (FOX, MSNBC, CNN, etc…) is Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Yes they will be missed but come on people lets get our heads out of our ***.

Not really, what's funny is your half baked attempt to infer that there is some sort of "left wing conspiracy" orchestrated by the main stream liberal media. I suppose Micheal Moore , George Soros and Barabra Striesand snuck into his house and  killed him (Jackson) to get the bill passed.

Please , give the people here at TYT a little credit, we are a bit more sophisticated that that. Take it to World Net Daily.

When we start to tax these companies they will leave our country and go to countries like ChinaIndia and just put off the pollutants there. 

Were have you been for the last 30 years? They are leaving now. American corporations have been shipping jobs offshore since Reagan and his free trade policies. They will continue to leave regardless of the climate change bill passes or not. By the way, a large percentage of air pollution the west coast comes from China and the Far East.

Red Hot Lies by Christopher C. Horner. This is not a political book,just one based on facts and supported by all the leading weather and climate scientists around the World.

That statment is simply a lie. If your going to spam for a right wing climate change hoax hack and a conservative think tank I suggest you get your facts straight.

Christopher C. Horner . As an attorney, Horner has represented CEI, scientists, and Members of the U.S. Congress on matters of environmental policy in the federal courts including the Supreme Court. He has been a frequent contributor in the Washington Times, National Review Online

The Competitive Enterprise Institute is a public interest group dedicated to free enterprise and limited government. We believe that the best solutions come from people making their own choices in a free marketplace, rather than government intervention.

Everything Mr Horner writes is political. He works for CEI is a right wing ,libertarian leaning "think tank" and  "public interest" group.

Here is how they describe themselves  "dedicated to free enterprise and limited government. We believe that the best solutions come from people making their own choices in a free marketplace, rather than government intervention."

Now if you don't recognize that passage I suggest you go to the GOP website and read the platform for 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 and so on.

But, you know that. That being said we can have a discussion on global warming or you can spam for 527. Your choice.

 One last point

ENRON tried to do this and we see how great they were. 

What exactly did ENRON do other than defraud their employees and a few million other people manipulating prices on deregulated electricty? Its not clear from your blog.

  Yes tax expenses are often passed off onto us but it offers a chance for companies to make a fortune.  If all the coal plants in the US are getting slapped with a big tax don't you think it would be in the best interest of someone to find a way to clean it up?

 Right now pollution costs a company very little so there is no need to invest in cleaning anything. Start taxing and you give them a reason to be for the first to find a way to clean their smoke up.
