See, he isn't going to raise taxes on the middle class. He will get so much more in fees, and the middle class will be paying much more to the government through this angle than they would ever be taxed.

Big plans but the House probably would not go along with this idea.

#2- If he can't get the Congress to act the way he wants, Obamao will act without them.

Barry O. will go through the EPA. Only Congress has the power to tax per the Constitution? What Constitution?

Don't count on the SCOTUS to stop him either. Remember how that worked out with Obamacare.

It's the "New, Improved Obama Math"! Twice the wallet cleaning power! Defies the laws of accounting. Reduces deficits by making everything more expense...and, it smells so fresh!

You are going to love $.50 per KWH electricity. A $500 per month electric bill should get someones attention.

The cost of this tax will paid for by the middle class and poor.

These fools can't understand that they just committed economic suicide by electing OBie.

Tax bills must originate in the House.

This is a huge tax on the middle class who will pay for it in higher bills for electricity, fuel, and everything that is produced.

The House controls the purse strings -they can refuse to funding. On the other hand a serious dose of ruinous reality may be the only thing the donkey voters will ever come to understand. Brace yourselves for an increasing misery index.

cutting the budget deficit 150 billion will do nothing to reduce the 16 TRILLION national debt. BY 2016 the national will be somewhere
North OF 25 TRILLION at the rate the Obama Junta is spending.
Get the Vaseline the next four years will be painful.

#8 --- You are half-right.

The middle class will pay, however, the "poor" will receive subsides to counteract the new fees!

A fine is a tax on doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.

These estimates of revenues from taxes are always exaggerated, while the reduction of economic activity is always greater than forecast. Making us pay more for electricity and home heating means that we have less to spend for furniture, food or a new car. Compounding lost wealth is that a carbon tax will drive up the costs of goods, so that we can purchase even fewer goods. Or, Zimbabwe here we come!!

Bring it on, Barry. Tax us till we can't breathe. Let your supporters know who you really are. We're ruined as it is so why not just get it over with instead of drawing out the misery.

Any such taxes if ever collected will be spent and not used to pay down the debt. Typical Democratic con game. Any increase in taxes is always spent and not used to reduce the debt. A balanced budget will always be 10 years out every year so it will never happened. We're toast.

I want the Entertainment Industry and the Hollyweirdites to pay more than their fair share of any new taxes. After all, they packaged and delivered this National Nightmare to the country.

OK, since the human expells carbon dioxide how much will each individual be taxed.

Perhaps he and the Mooch can keep their traps shut and drastically reduce carbon dioxide.

@#7: and we`ll be paying the carbon tax for the `poor` too.

$500 electric bills won't bother his supporters at all, most of them will get vouchers to pay their bill. We'll just work harder and pay more fees and taxes to help them with that.

What will the price per gallon be to cover the trillion a year that Obama spends? If this is collected everyone will need to freeze in their homes and walk everywhere they go. This means fewer gallons and higher taxes. When is somebody going to explain these realities to the dumb Obama supporters. Carbon taxes and the tax on the "rich" will be a drop in the bucket to Obama spending. I don't think Romney explained that in reply to any of Obama's rantings.

#18, you're correct. They also get cable TV, Obamaphones, food stamps, Section 8 housing, and WIC payments, not to mention two free meals a day for their kids in school.

The people in NYC who pay their own way (about 20 cents/kilowatt for electric) also pay for these parasites.

He can't levy squat.

There will be daily floggings until morale improves.

Obama must also think slitting someone's wrists is a viable solution to their high blood pressure problems.
