For those of you who believe that President Obama is going to give you a tax cut, then you should be aware that while he’s patting you on the back with one hand, he’s stabbing you in the back with the other. What is the Beefboy talking about?… simply, the Cap and Trade Bill.
Cap and Trade is a method of taxing energy companies based on how much carbon emissions they make. If you get all warm and fuzzy in the crotch over Global Warming, then you’re probably cheering this notion right now (of course man-made Global Warming is complete bullshit… but that’s another issue). Before you have another Gore-gasm, you should be aware that Cap and Trade will cost anyone who drives a car, or who uses electricity an extra 25% on top of what they already pay!
So, if you take the amount that you just paid to fill up your car (and remember that gas is cheap right now, and that won’t last for much longer), then add 25% to that amount, then you’ll know how much extra you’ll pay. Don’t forget to do the same thing with your electricity bill and your natural gas bill at the end of the month. It’s math fun for the entire family!
How do you feel about a 25% increase in energy costs, because of something that doesn’t fucking exist? The Beefboy is not happy about it at all. And you shouldn’t be either. The ironic thing is that while the Beefboy can afford to pay the extra money, the people who will be hurt the most are those who are on a fixed income (retirees) and the poor… the exact same people who put Obama in the White House.
Dig it!
