The Benefits of Waxman-Markey | The Hobbling of America
Heritage Foundation
By Conn Carroll | May 13, 2009

“Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. There are no benefits for the American people in the Waxman-Markey energy tax bill. Whenever defenders of the free market point out how much an energy tax will cost the economy, the enviro-left always tries to change the subject to “the cost of inaction.” But here is the dirty little secret about Waxman-Markey: it does nothing to prevent global warming/climate change whatever you want to call it. And that is before House Democrats gutted the bill.”

Would you like to see some numbers corroborating that this is a hoax, exposing the Waxman-Markey bill as a tax-generating travesty? We’ve got numbers… click here.

Shameful. Egregious. Draconian.

I'm a conservative frugalist. My priorities: Watchdogging the government, making sure our tax dollars are spent wisely, living within our budgets (at home and in Washington, DC), and adhering to our Constitution and the conservative principles upon which it was developed by our founding fathers. Also, loving God, my family, and my country. Be wise, be frugal. God bless America!
