Are you willing to pay for a Cap and Trade Policy to help fight global warming. All the major candidates seem to favor something along those lines - a tax increase to fight global warming. Some estimate it will cost consumers at least $8,000.00, per year in increased costs of goods and services. Can your family afford such a tax and is it worth it?

No I am not willing to pay extra money out of my pocket to fight this hoax called man made global warming. The cost of being green is to much for some to bare. All of this for some junk science. I wish someone up in Washington D.C would grow a pair and stand up to the greenies that have replaced the pinkies that what to control all of our lives. I do not understand why so many people do not understand that the new enviromential movment is just another way for the Big Statist to control our life.

Statist, progressive,socialist, and communist are all interchangeable as they mean much the same thing.
There are a few other terms the liberals like to use as well to describe the philosophy.
Bill Clinton once described himself as a statist... unfortunately a lot of people let it pass because they simply didn't know what it meant.

I've looked it up and can't find the proposed tax increase to mention here but none the less I'd much rather pay extra to save our planet than to continue to pay $720 MILLION each day to fight this immoral war, not to mention the much higher and more important cost in human lives. I'll answer your last question pertaining to this war - a resounding NO!

No, man made global warming is a hoax and cap and trade is a scam based on that hoax.
Everyone is complaining about the sorry state of the economy yet doesn't seem to realize that such policies will further damage the economy.
What is really bad is that these individuals don't realize that there is no reason for it... and no, it isn't worth it.

100 years from now some liberal will be whining about the same thing and Al Gore and guess what? The globe will have warmed about a hundreth of a degree! It may well be a real problem but not in this millenium!
