Williams: EPA cover up and “cap and trade”

Simple homework assignment for all. You need to go read today’s Walter Williams piece and then send every person on your mailing list the link to the article. Instructions below the fold.

From Professor Williams’ piece today

“Cap and trade” is first a massive indirect tax on the American people and hence another source of revenue for Congress. More importantly “cap and trade” is just about the most effective tool for controlling most economic activity short of openly declaring ourselves a communist nation and it’s a radical environmentalist’s dream come true.

Again, go read the entire article and send the link to everyone you know.

While your add it, go read the post Cap and trade is a cap on our economic growth by RVO contributor Erik and send that one to everyone too.

    Reason, experience and common sense should tell anyone with half a brain that when someone is trying to get you to sign off on something without your reading it, they are trying to scam you. That is what our scammers, er, representatives, are trying to do to us now. There is no rush! Certainly not anything that requires passage of a poorly crafted bill by August.

    Any so called representative that votes for this and does not understand the implications because he/she did not read it, should be tarred and feathered. And fired by the voters, of course.

    RICO anyone?

    Williams, why did you not run for President?!?!?!

      Because he would get the "Clarence Thomas treatment" by the Dems and the liberal media.

      Besides, he wouldn't qualify for president: he understands economics.

    A great article that summarises everything that is wrong with the global warming alarmists scenario. Water vapor and clouds do have a cooling effect contrary to what the climate models project. This is the fatal flaw of the models which are the basis of all the dire predictions.

    The sun and the oceans are the main drivers of our climate.
