Jeff Flake Will Introduce Bill To Raise Taxes Before Leaving Senate – IOTW Report

Jeff Flake Will Introduce Bill To Raise Taxes Before Leaving Senate

DC: Outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake will soon co-introduce legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions, according to news reports.

Flake, who will not be returning to Congress next year, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coon, a Democrat, will introduce their carbon tax bill as soon as Wednesday. The bill is unlikely to go anywhere with just two weeks left in the current legislative session.

Flake and Coon’s bill will be the Senate companion to bipartisan House carbon tax legislation introduced in November. The Washington Times first reported of Flake’s carbon tax bill Wednesday, and The Hill later confirmed it.

Like the House bill, Flake’s carbon tax bill would tax emissions at $15 per ton — a rate that would rise $10 per year until greenhouse gas emissions, hitting $100 per ton in 2030. All of the revenues raised through the tax will get rebated to households to compensate for higher energy costs.  MORE HERE

  2. “I think Mannix holds the record for getting his ass kicked most often in a teevee series.”
    Must admit that’s true. Except for ‘Cannon’ (before ‘Jake and the Fat Dude’).
    Jesus,,,
    Jake always showed up first, after which the Fat Dude came in the crime screen, sat down and wanted to what the strawberry bakery tart meant?

  3. Hey!!! Tax bills are supposed to originate in the House, not in the Senate.
    That is where the high court screwed the pooch on obamacrap. Among other things, it was a tax that originated in the Senate. Violated the 10th Amendment. right to privacy.
    No to that being one who signed on to that as constitutional should be removed from the High Court for gross negligence and political stupidity.

  4. Can he be nominated for a Profile in Courage for this meaningless, futile effort?

    He waits until he’s got his hat and coat on – walking to the door as it is – and then finally decides to be who he’s always been. I hate conservative judges. I want to propose a carbon tax.

    All he’s missing is his pink boa and a musical number before he wipes his chin off and comes prancing out of the closet he’s been hiding in – locked from the inside.

    McCain’s looking up and smiling at you with pride, bitchboy.

  5. Let’s just split the difference, by taxing ONLY Corn Flakes there.

    We can start, by taxing his pension at 100% – the proceeds of which, will be used to fund the border wall. 😀
