Carbon Tax, do you know what it is all about?

June 16th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

My concern is growing by the day while I work just to secure my next building permit. Just in the last 3 months new laws have come into place in the building arena. What I was once so enthused to do, “BUILD GREEN” is going to become so regimented that the only green you will see is the uniform of the federal person inspecting your home for the “CARBON TAX” or hopeful approval your home is up to current environmental standards so you can sell your home.

I have already talked about and warned you about “Building Green” and how the Government is now getting involved to tax what we build, what we currently are living in, and have to have a Federal Inspection occur before you can sell your home. The process is really called “Cap and Trade”. You need to become aware of what is really happening. We are going to lose more rights, pay more taxes, and have more Government Control. Is this really what you want? 

Our current president spent more time last night talking about alternative energies and virtually nothing about plugging up the hole in our ocean. What a scam. I know we are much smarter than we are currently being treated. Our Country is the best in the World, people are doing anything they can including losing their lives to come our Great Country.  These people from foreign countries see us and how great we are - DON’T YOU!! Stop and really listen to what is being said. Think about how we became the United States of America. 

You have to know that the “Carbon Tax” is more than just a money issue, it is your continued loss of your rights. I am all for the protection of our environment. I build in it every day and do everything I can do the least to the land and property I build on. The clients I build for are well aware of solar, geothermal, wind and what ever new pops up.  They all cost a lot of money if they are not subsidized. Who is or will pay for this subsidized program? YOU WILL! It is call the “CARBON TAX” and it all part of the “CAP & TRADE” program our congress and president are pushing. Don’t you think you are smarter than to have them tax us more and give away more of our rights? I DO!!

Write your congressman and senator and tell them to vote “NO”. We can be the leaders of the world in “Green” with out losing our rights. With the proper education we can get our great country to do what is needed without additional taxes and loss of rights. This whole deal is a push to gain more government control. Stop and listen, ask questions, search the Internet. Hey try calling the Master Builders Association In King County, ask them what they know and what are they doing about it?  While you are calling people and asking questions, ask your neighbors or business associates what they know about “CAP & TRADE” or the “CARBON TAX”. Ask them if the know what our State of Washington budget is and how much we have already gone over that budget by $4 billion dollars and it only June. Ask you congressman and senator if they have even seen the budget or do they know what it is, or do they understand how to read it?
