I received this letter today. You should read it.

Steve,

Today, Congress once again ignored what Americans want and introduced a new gasoline tax as part of a global warming bill that also contains a cap and trade energy tax on utilities. The section on the gas tax begins on p. 361.

Introduced by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT), this bill requires American oil companies to pay a fee to the government for their global warming emissions.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who helped craft the gas tax, admitted the fee “will be passed on” to motorists in the form of higher gasoline prices.

But Senators Kerry and Lieberman are offended that any American would dare call it a gas tax.

Don’t be fooled. This is a government requirement that will increase the cost of gasoline. It’s a tax. So not only will we have to pay more for gas, we have the added insult of Senators insisting that what we can plainly see as a new gas tax is not actually a gas tax.

The American people know better. And according to an American Solutions poll, 71% of Americans oppose this new gas tax, even if politicians are insisting it is not a gas tax.

In addition, this bill creates a cap and trade system that will dramatically increase the cost of residential and commercial electricity prices.

Even the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says cap and trade will kill jobs and reduce American productivity.

With one bill, Congress will raise gasoline and electricity prices, raise the cost of energy, and kill jobs. This is not the way to create jobs and prosperity.

This bill is wrong for America. Will you help us defeat it? Read the rest of this entry »

In a typical politically correct mindset, IRS Commiss Douglas Shulman now recommends registering (and charging for it) tax preparers from H&R Block on up (or down depending on your perspective). The big players, like H&R, will be the big winners, by reducing competition. Who loses? The taxpayers of course.

Of course the pragmatically correct approach is to streamline the tax code!

Where is the Obama administration on THAT little gem?

Where are Specter, Casey and Murphy on this issue?

Once again the silence is deafening and at the same time speaks volumes!

Why isn’t the media all over this as an issue which would sell copy?

Remember this in the May Primary and November General elections.
