You see, Cap and Tax has been revived and is moving through Congress right now, with select weak-kneed Republicans like Lindsey Graham and John McCain looking to make deals to pass this key plank in the radical globalist agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\nBecause make no mistake, that\u2019s what Cap and Tax is all about. More government control. More INTERNATIONAL control, with the corresponding loss of freedom and sovereignty.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s really no other way to put it \u2014 Cap and Tax would give the federal government UNPRECEDENTED control over the private sector \u2014 and our very lives.<\/p>\n
Big Government bureaucrats in Washington would effectively be able to tax businesses for emitting more carbon dioxide than they think is \u201cappropriate.\u201d <\/p>\n
Just as bad, they\u2019ll be able to demand you change your way of living — forcing you to \u201cretrofit\u201d your house with \u201cgovernment-approved\u201d lightbulbs, refrigerators, water heaters, toilets, air conditioners, and whatever else they can dream up. <\/p>\n
And don\u2019t think for a second they won\u2019t send around federal jackboots to make sure you\u2019re complying.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn fact, the Cap and Tax Bill SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES just such intrusive home visits by government snoops.<\/p>\n
And combine that with the expanded power of jackbooted federal thugs under the so-called Patriot Act (which was recently reauthorized), and you have a recipe for Americans, for the first time in our memory, not being safe and secure in their own homes.<\/p>\n
Of course, that\u2019s bad enough. But just like the recently passed nationalized health care mandate, Cap and Tax is just another excuse for Big Government to reach its greedy little hands into our wallets. <\/p>\n
If passed, Cap and Tax would:<\/p>\n
– Increase taxes by $650 BILLION, virtually guaranteeing that our economy gets even worse and NEVER recovers;
\n– Result in over ONE MILLION lost American jobs per year, as energy-intensive industries are forced to shut their doors or move overseas;
\n– Allow Big Government politicians to decide which businesses get taxpayer subsidies and which ones are shut down, virtually guaranteeing massive corruption on a scale we\u2019ve never seen before in the United States.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t believe the lies. This bill has nothing to do with the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn fact, the best experts agree Cap and Tax will have almost zero impact on the environment anyway \u2014 except, of course, for lost jobs, higher taxes, and blighted small towns and rural communities.<\/p>\n
So what is Cap and Tax really about?<\/p>\n
Raw government POWER.
\nGovernment POWER to tax.
\nGovernment POWER to enter your home to \u201ccheck for compliance.\u201d
\nAnd government POWER to control the economy, our lives and our freedom.<\/p>\n
Just take a look at Spain \u2014 the Cap-and-Taxers\u2019 \u201cshining\u201d example of an eco-socialist paradise.<\/p>\n
There, unemployment is approaching 20% and rising.<\/p>\n
And what about all those new \u201cgreen\u201d jobs Cap and Tax apologists are claiming will be generated?<\/p>\n
In Spain, for every new \u201cgreen\u201d job created (at a taxpayer cost of $800,000, EACH mind you), 2.2 economically-productive jobs are destroyed!<\/p>\n
The fact is, passage of Cap and Tax could send our economy nose-diving off a cliff!<\/p>\n
There are also a lot of VERY nervous senators in both parties. In fact, even John McCain is now wavering from his past support for Cap and Tax, as he faces conservative primary opposition in his reelection.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re nervous because they see the anger in the eyes of the voters. They know they rammed through a health care bill opposed by over 60% of Americans.<\/p>\n
They know they passed a huge tax increase.<\/p>\n
They know they\u2019ve added trillions to our exploding national debt.<\/p>\n
And these senators are nervous because they know that so far freedom-loving folks like you have fought back against other freedom-grabbing schemes \u2013 and are making real progress in our fight to reign in the out-of-control Fed.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re nervous because we\u2019ve exposed their assaults on our liberty.<\/p>\n
So now, in this latest fight, many senators are riding the fence.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re afraid of what YOU\u2019LL do to them if they vote to ram Cap and Tax into law.<\/p>\n
So today, our job is to KNOCK those senators off the fence and squarely onto our side by sending a very LOUD and very CLEAR message to the U.S. Senate . . .<\/p>\n
…Any politician who votes FOR Cap and Tax should look for another job.
