Al Gore: C’mon, it’s time for a climate tax

On the carbon tax and the fiscal cliff

It will be difficult for sure but we can back away from the fiscal cliff and the climate cliff at the same time…One way is with a carbon tax. You can offset it with reductions in the payroll tax but you can then gain revenue with tax reform as part of a solution that raises revenue as well as cuts some of the spending … By including the carbon tax in the solution to the fiscal cliff we can back away from the climate cliff.
Have you lobbied Obama and others about a carbon tax?

I have not been in any smoke-filled back rooms but I have talked with friends and I have made speeches and written articles. I will speak again over the course of this 24-hour event that starts on Wednesday and concludes on Thursday.

Be patient, Al. With the republican party now in full surrender mode, you will probably get it and more.

watched Ahmedinejad last night or maybe it was the night before last on one of the interview shows on CNN and he was asked if he believes the Holocaust was a historical fact and he said: ‘Why are you against debating the truth. We need more research. We need investigators to go and look at the evidence’.

absolutely satanic. the words of an utter moral reprobate, total madman.

Since we’re going to go full retard and tax things we can’t control, how about a gravity tax?

So he’s suggesting cutting Social Security and replacing those “investments” with a carbon tax….

Someone cue up a video of Al Gore shoving grandma off a cliff.

Gore, I’ve seen your home, your cars, and the plane you fly around in.

Here’s a deal. I’ll start considering to take you seriously when YOU pretend to take your own crap seriously.

Until then… no deal.
