Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit NTU's Taxpayer Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) have devised legislation that would dramatically raise the prices you pay for the energy you need, like electricity and gasoline. By placing a cap on carbon dioxide output, their bill would force energy companies to pay through the nose for additional emissions permits. That means you would face higher bills for gasoline, utilities, and virtually every consumer product.
This plan would impose nearly $2 trillion in higher taxes on you and your family, while damaging the economy and putting more Americans out of work. If passed, this kind of legislation would be a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.
