Economy Alarm: Leading Democrat on Energy Admits Cap-and-Trade is a National Energy Tax

“President Obama and Vice President Biden’s tax plan delivers broad-based tax relief to middle class families and cuts taxes for small businesses and companies that create jobs in America…. Middle class families will see their taxes cut — and no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase.” (http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/taxes/)

John Dingell (D-MI), Democrat Dean of the House of Representatives and Chairman Emeritus of Energy and Commerce Committee:
“Nobody in this country realizes that cap and trade is a tax, and it’s a great big one.”
