Obama & Gore Make Carbon Regulations/Taxes a Key Partisan Issue In Uncertain Economic Times-Shouldn't Dems Suffer Same Fate as Canada's Liberal Party?
PERHAPS, OBAMA, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMIST GROUPS WILL WAKE UP ON NOVEMBER 5TH TO FIND OUT THAT THEY, LIKE THE CANADIAN LIBERAL & ENVIRONMENTAL PARTIES, ARE NOT IN OFFICE!! IMPOSING STRICT ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND TAXES ON SMALL, MEDIUM-SIZED AND LARGE BUSINESSES & INDIVIDUALS IN UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC TIMES IS NOT ONLY FOOLISH POLITICS, BUT ALSO CRUEL AND INSENSITIVE.
...THE ECONOMIC PAIN OF IMPOSING CARBON CAPS VIA REGULATION AND CARBON TAXES DOES NOT EVEN REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS, AS NORWAY HAS FOUND OUT. IN OTHER WORDS, DESPITE THE ECONOMIC PAIN, THERE IS LITTLE, IF ANY, ENVIRONMENTAL GAIN.
...Perhaps Messrs. Obama and Gore should pay attention to the recent election results in Canada.
Two major themes seem to have been reflected in the Canadian citizens' voting:
1) An antipathy/hostility toward 'BIG' government spending, including that on national health care, 'during a time of global economic uncertainty'; AND
2) An antipathy/hostility toward the Liberal & Green Parties' push for the 'Green Shift' - a/k/a 'carbon tax to save the world', 'during a time of global economic uncertainty'.
