How Real Americans Feel About Energy Taxes
ATR Energy Tax Hike Series: How Real Americans Feel About Energy Taxes
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) continues to oppose the Waxman-Markey, cap-and-trade, multi-billion dollar tax-increase being considered this week in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
• 26% of registered voters polled support Cap and Trade, while 52% oppose the policy.
• 58% of voters polled say they are unwilling to pay any more than they currently pay for electricity to combat climate change.
• Over 70% of respondents stated that, under Cap and Trade, the poor and middle class will have trouble paying their electric bills.
• 78% of all respondents stated that a $50 increase on their electric bill would be a hardship.
• 68% of voters polled disagree with the idea that Congress should enact a carbon tax to encourage consumers to cut back on their electricity usage.
• Over half (50%) of the country opposes enacting a carbon tax to fund energy research.
• When asked of issue priorities, 73% of respondents placed the economy first; health care is a distant second at 17%.
• A recent CBS News/New York Times Poll1 shows that when the economy is taken out of issue priorities, health care, education and Social Security all beat out energy.
• A recent Gallup Poll found that “a majority of Americans say economic growth should be given the priority, even if the environment suffers to some extent.”
Waxman-Markey will increase GDP loss by $9.6 trillion and cost 1,105,000 jobs. Why is Obama giving political kick-backs to the environmental-left at the expense of American jobs?
