Is it time to start asking ourselves hard questions? People put these politicians in power. These politicians are voting for sweeping far-left ideological changes in our country that make no sense from a 9-12 perspective. We don’t have to vacation in these states, start a business in these states, consider relocating to these states do we? It may be time to avoid having anything to do with the districts and states these law makers represent. What else can we do if the people that should know better abandon us.

Sadly this list would also include a majority of the State of Maryland. Our law makers voted their far-left socialist ideology and not the will of the people. Cap and Trade is not compliant with the 9-12 principals and values. Not even some of the large environmental groups supported it.

The poor and middle class are the hardest hit in this scheme. This includes the low-income retired, elderly, disabled, minorities, and immigrants all trying to keep ahead of new taxes. They are already taxed to death from their paycheck and in property taxes if they own homes. In Maryland, sales taxes went up as has spending under Governor O’Malley DESPITE millions in stimulus money. Everyone will have far less to spend on essentials like prescription medicines once power bills go up. We are spending to support the politicians view of Utopia – their Animal Farm. The taxes we were told we would not pay if we elected the far left are being paid – just through socialized programs like health care and cap and trade.

I believe we were not told the truth about the impact of cap and trade. (The same is true in the on-going health care debate.) Now all Americans will discover what that impact is and every law maker’s district that supported this madness should look to themselves when they begin whining about increased personal energy expenses. The rest of us may privately consider whether or not we want to have anything to do with the far-left areas of the country that put these politicians in power. Those voters believe they can invent socialist programs for everyone else and ram them swiftly through Congress. The rest of us can make personal decisions about how we spend what money we have left.
