Sigh, more research. More misconceptions, more scare tactics, more atempts to evoke emotion and abandon thought. Logically, IF the government implements cap and trade restriction. AND the coal industries were so stupid as to not take advantage of alternative energy incentives to reduce of eliminate CO2 emissions. PLUS were so foolish to build a coal plant that had dirty emmission. THEN yes, the cap and trade would be crippling to the coal industry. But, to believe that would come to pass, would be to NOT believe in the innovation and hard work of the people in the coal industry. Frankly, I am tired of the democratic and republican fanatics insulting the american people and american business. American people are hard workers, american business especially small business is the life blood of america strength. Workers who file taxes returns are not lazy or shiftless after all they have to work to be charged taxes to be cut and deserve it if they do get one. If you do not like the fact business owners reap the benefits between the price of labor and the price of goods....BECOME owners of business, buy stock in the company you work for, get together with your other employees and utilize the votes your shares provides and collectively work with management to make business work and force the top executive to be held accountable. Stop rewarding business that ship jobs overseas by not buying thier products. Wield the power of your pocket book as the weapon it is and business will bow before it. We are not victims, we are americans, we decide what state the economy is when we buy, when we expand business. I am really really tired of both sides not being Pro-American, I am tired of both side not taking responsibility for the flaws in thier own thinking and being too stubborn to listen to the other side. I am tired of both sides trying to scare me into thinking it will be a catastrophe if the other side wins. Total governement spending is less then 1% of all economic activity even with all the bailout money being spent. Government is way to small to make a big differance, it is we the people who make the differance, it is us who have to make the differance. If we took care of ourselves and our nieghbors there would be no ability for government to step in and become a nanny state. For a nation of christians, compassion and belief in our fellow man is too sparse and missing. We complain about criminals, almost all from single family home, from women who choosed to give them life and were abandoned by the fathers and thier christian nieghbors to lives of poverty, desperation, and reget. If we are losing our jobs, and rich wealthy men get away with the lion share of the profits, we only have ourselves to blame, not the Republican, not the Democrats. When Republican put the bone head tax cuts through that rewarded companies and investors to send wealth and jobs oversea, we only have ourselves to blame for not shaking the foundations of the capitol with the thunder of our collective voice. When Countrywide tried to sell us on subprime loans we chose to take those risks, choose not to read the fine print, choose not to invest in the skills of expert to explain the deatils and consequences of those loans. We The People are responsible for the state of affairs, we are reaping the fruits of fear, lack of faith, and lack of action we have sown. But, I have faith in the american people, I have faith in our work ethic, I have faith in our innovation. I have faith enough people will stop focusing on the smoke and mirrors, and pay attention. We are rolling out in record numbers, and if we do it all year long, all the lobbist in Washington will become extinct and the senators & reprsentitives will shake in thier boots from our terrifying presence. If we do not then we deserve what we get. BlackPhx
