The Hill is reporting that House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell (D-MI) is gearing up to propose a 50 cent tax increase on gasoline. Of course, it's all for Algore's environment...
In the interview, Dingell acknowledged that voters may not be willing to bear the cost of limiting greenhouse gas emissions, and that he would propose the new tax “just to sort of see how people really feel about this.”You get that American people? He doesn't care if you're willing to pay for his policies, he's going to stick it to you anyway...you know, just to see if you'll take it.
“I sincerely doubt that the American people are willing to pay what this is really going to cost them,” Dingell said in the interview.
And raising the cost of gasoline isn't enough for the tax and spend Democrats, they want to create a whole new tax too:
In addition to raising the gasoline tax, Dingell’s new proposal would institute a “double digit” tax on each ton of carbon dioxide emitted.I learned over the weekend that the average Briton produces ten tons of carbon emmissions a year...so Democrats want to "double digit" tax you times ten, at least...
More broken promises from the league leaders, the Democrats...
Elections have consequences, my friends...they really do...
