Emissions tax will cost us $3,100 a year

I contacted Congressman Peter Roskam's Bloomingdale office and inquired about the hard figure cost for this greenhouse gas emissions tax the legislature wants to force on the already overtaxed, unemployed-underemployed public. The figure I was quoted, (a conservative estimate) is to be $3,100 per household per year. This prorates out to approximately $260 per month in an additional tax to be paid by every household. The only way to offset this catastrophe would be for the Shell, Citgo and other gas stations to charge all us 5 cents per gallon for gasoline. From Mark Levin's book, Liberty and Tyranny on Page 72: "An oversight panel concluded that $350 billion of the TARP money cannot be adequately unaccounted for."

I don't care how you vote. Contact your representative and demand that he or she condemn and vote down this mammoth tax increase. They may try to sneak it in so the voters would have no say. Let your reps know that their jobs, which they have at the taxpayer's behest, will be on the line if they accept this atrocity on the American people.
