A nationalenergy tax would force Americans to pay higher prices for goods and services of all kinds. Itwould mean higher electricity bills, increased prices at the pump, and fewer jobs for hard-working taxpayers, Rep. Scalise said. Our nation has had more than enough of the job-killing regulations coming from the Obama Administration, and the last thing we need is yet another tax burdenthat weakens America's economy. This resolution puts Congress on record, declaring that a carbon tax would be the equivalent of a nail in the coffin to a struggling American economy. Implementation of a carbon tax would provide further evidence that President Obamais pursuing his job-killing global warming agenda at any cost, and the peoples House will not stand for his radical scheme.
