Default RE: Super important

I still cannot find the actual wording to the bill, but according to FOX (gee, there's a real reliable source eh?) that there will not be any regulation of goods and services, ie: banning two stroke engines, but a "carbon based emmission tax" will be placed an ALL emitters of carbon monoxide.

I work in the steel industry, and there are rumors that if this bill passes, we may see a 8% tax increase to steel producers. Add this to oil and gas producers and see how much of added taxation we will see in order to own and use a car. And not just to the car itself, but to anything made of carbon based products (steel and plastic) which is about 100% of everything we consume.

In otherwords, the Dems eyeing to tax the fattest part of our economic steak.
