The House passed the climate bill known as Cap & Trade. This bill will add significant taxes to manufacturers who will pass those costs to consumers. The Heritage Foundation (AskHeritage.org) estimates that the average American family will see its average annual energy bill increase by $1500. That does not include the increase in the cost you will pay for everything you purchase as a result of the producers increased costs. This bill will cost millions of jobs in this country because manufacturers will relocate to less expense locations. This bill could result in the largest tax increase for Americans in history.
How will this bill help improve the climate when there will be no restrictions on the rest of the world that will begin to manufacture more as a result. America already has some of the strictest pollution requirements in the world, but many countries have virtually none.
I urge you to write your Senators and tell them you are against the Waxman-Markey bill known as Cap and Trade.
Write to your Senator
