Now, a carbon Tax.

Politicians have, in the past, used that old bullshit phrase of ‘cutting taxes’ to get you to vote for them. Now, Stephan Dionne, has come up with a new wrinkle on that old lie : Tax your heating oil and anything else you burn to move your food and everything else that you have always had in your life… but, he’ll lower your income taxes.

CONSIDER THIS from a person who has bothered to do the homework:

When a politician’s lips move, I know he’s probably lying. Mr. Dion says his carbon tax will be revenue neutral. So, I went online and found a carbon calculator and keyed in the annual energy consumption for our household and learned we produce 17 tons of greenhouse gas. Fully 60% of this usage is for electricity which we use to heat our home.
I have already improved insulation in my walls and replaced my windows and doors; use the new ‘twirley’ lights and ensured that my appliances are all Energy Star products. In the past 20 years, these measures reduced my electricity usage from 24,000 Kw Hrs per year to 16,000 Kw Hrs per year last years. What is my reward for this improved efficiency? My power bill is unchanged from what it was 20 years ago. But, my power bill would attract a carbon tax of $104 in year one of Mr. Dion’s plan and $ 416 in year four. My power bill would rise from $166 per month to $210 per month in year four.
Since I live on a fixed income consisting of CPP and Old Age Security, my income tax bill runs at less than $200 per year. So, for my household, Mr. Dion’s ‘revenue neutral’ carbon tax will cost me $416 per year less income tax reductions of about $10 per year.
Revenue neutral? In a pig’s eye! This is a tax on seniors living on fixed incomes. Well, Mr. Dion, you haven’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of ever getting my vote. I hope everyone else takes five minutes to run the same calculations I did and vote to send this joker to the political boneyard.

Factual data substantiating this:
16.96 tons
60% of this is for electricity or 10.4 tons/year
@ $10/ton in year 1 = $104 or $9/mo
@ $20/ton in year 2 = $208 or $18/mo
@ $30/ton in year 3 = $312 or $27/mo
@ $40/ton in year 4 = $416 or $40/mo
Income tax paid is $110/yr.

DON’T BELIEVE ANY POLITICIAN FROM ANY PARTY!

I am the hurricane, earthquake and plague purveyor

that spreads death and destruction far and wide

without rhyme or reason.

I am the blinding blizzard, torrential rains and

blistering heat

that wreaks havoc without mercy.

I am the dark side of nature preying on the

just and the un-just, alike

I am the wanton obliterator of hopes and dreams.

I am Vishnu: “Destroyer of worlds.”

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

“God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States — a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject,” Pelosi told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an exclusive interview.

“This is not a record to be proud of, and I think the American people deserve better,” Bush said.

I stand with the President, madam Speaker.

You and Leader Reid are the prime reasons why this Congress’ approval ratings are lower than
the President’s and the lowest of any Congress since anyone has been measuring….

You have no interest in looking out for the citizens of this country, your intransigence over energy
and drilling illustrates that.

You Madam Speaker are the ” total failure.”

Dear Editor,
Re: “Has America Lost Her Will to be Free?“.

I just had to email you after reading that article to tell you that that has to be one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written. I don’t have a clue on how long it took you to write that, but it has been a long time since I’ve seen so much truth and compassion in a single article. Well Done! I didn’t see any copyright on this article, so I took the liberty of posting it at http://illegalprotest.com/forum/index.php?topic=1581.0 .

I most certainly hope that others will see this article and spread it around the country. Again, Ron, Thanks for taking the time to write this article. I was awed, yet inspired by your truthfulness, and I certainly hope that it has the same effect on others that it had on me. Now that I have a link to several more of your great articles, I will be sure to read and share them with others. I wish everyone could see the truth as you see it.

God bless you, my friend. You have become one of my favorite authors.

come into the garden

on a warm summer’s night

where the roses are sleeping

in the moon’s soothing light

we’ll stroll on the grass

while the sun is in bed

and the cares of the day

have miraculously fled

we’ll stand in the shadows

at the end of the day

inhaling the aroma

of petals and clay

we’ll bask in the fragrance

of flower and lawn

while the roses are sleeping

betwixt sundown and dawn

come walk in the garden

in the moon’s golden light

where the sweet sleeping roses

are scenting the night

Dear Editor,

Most newsmedia people complain big stink when governments and bureaucrats suppress information however how do their producers and editors measure up?

Few media will publish ‘letters to the editor’, or are willing to broadcast messages that express skeptical or critical views on so called Global Warming and other enviro-bandwaggon issues of “the eco-alarmist-religious movement”.

There are many more skeptics out here in the real world than people know, but we are being muzzled and subdued as ‘evil-thinkers and climate-change deniers’.

Dear Editor:
Re: Carbon (CO2) Tax Fraud is All Based On a Lie

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a compound of two oxygen atoms bonded to a single carbon atom and comprises less than .04% content of our atmosphere.

CO2 is not a pollutant, man made or otherwise, but is essential for every living thing on earth, including sea life.

Our man-made and natural food supply is totally dependent on it. Photosynthesis automatically controls it’s concentration for us.

Dear Editor,
Historical Revisionism in Canada takes pride of place over historical reality, as recently proven by the non-event Celebration of the 400th birthday of the founding of Quebec City by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain on July 3, 1608.

What Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, his government and the Governor-General of Canada were really celebrating was a politically motivated non-event. Because the first French settlement in North America was on Saint-Croix Island, now on the Maine-New Brunswick border and is therefore the beginning of the French civilization in North America. But even the colony of Saint-Croix Island was founded by the French explorers Samuel de Champlain and Pierre Dugua de Monts in 1604, some fours years before Quebec City.

Dear Editor,

Whichever Candidate succeeds in winning the White House will make history. John McCain would not only be the oldest man ever to be elected president, he would also be the first president born outside the United States. While the Constitutional requirement that presidents be born in the U.S. made sense in the early days of the Republic, it shouldn’t be a requirement to day. Over the past 70 years or so, (longer in the former Panama Canal Zone) thousands of Americans have been born wherever U.S. military families have been stationed overseas. Barack Obama would also make history if he were elected by being not only the first Afro-American but also the second president (Andrew Jackson’s parents were Irish immigrants) whose father was an immigrant.

Dear Editor:

There was a time in this country when recipients of the Order of Canada award helped to unite the country. True medical heroes like Banting and Best made us all proud when deserving civilians were recognized for a lifetime of outstanding achievement and dedication to the community.

That was yesterday. While there were those who applauded at least as many were outraged when the Order of Canada award was granted on Tuesday to Dr. Henry Morgentaler the abortion-rights activist and crusader of the 1970’s and 1980’s.
