How are working Americans supposed to pay for a carbon tax? - NetRight Daily:
"In the State of the Union Address last month, President Obama renewed his call for a carbon tax. 
He called to “change the way we manage our oil and coal resources, so that they better reflect the costs they impose on taxpayers, and the earth.”

...Wages remain flat, according to data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau, and haven’t seen significant growth in over a decade.
It is a cruel irony indeed that the same people who claim the mantle of protecting the poor can pass a regressive tax onto them for their most basic needs. 
Are Washington, D.C. politicians really going to make it more expensive to buy groceries, heat homes and engage in productive activity?
This is yet another way to steal money from working Americans without calling it a tax. 
Consumers end up paying more, but don’t know why.
...The carbon tax is already being implemented via regulatory fiat via the Environmental Protection Agency’s Carbon Endangerment Finding defining carbon dioxide as a harmful pollutant under the Clean Air Act, as well as its new and existing power plant rules, the costs of which get passed on to consumers, necessarily making electricity more expensive, just as then-candidate for president Barack Obama promised they would back in 2008.
Creating more hidden taxes that increase the burden on struggling Americans to fix things beyond government control, is truly emblematic, and is yet one more reason why voters are angry with Washington..."
