Kill the Cap and Trade bill before the Cap and Trade bill kills the economy.
The Cap and Trade bill, a.k.a. the Waxman-Markey bill, will drain $1.3 trillion to $1.9 trillion from the economy between fiscal years 2012 and 2019. Moreover, Cap and Trade is a giant regulatory power grab.
- Destroy 1,105,000 American jobs per year
- Raise electricity rates 90%
- Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74%
- Raise residential natural gas prices by 55%
- Raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500 annually
- Increase federal debt by $29,150 per person
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett supported Barack Obama's Presidential bid last year, and has never been a proponent of major tax cuts. But in an interview today with CNBC, Buffet slammed the new Energy Tax being voted on in Congress this week saying it is a "huge tax" that will "harm an awful lot of people".
U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the new Energy Tax legislation today (June 6, 2009).

Notable Quote
"If you are a family making less than $250,000, my plan will not raise your taxes -- not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital-gains taxes, not any of your taxes. In fact, chances are you will get a tax cut."
