Any seriousness implied here is to confuse those who take life too seriously. Since the government already taxes out electricity, heatig and motor fuels, and even out water, I wonder if it is just a matter of time before they tax our air.

I live out in the country and had to have a well dug for a water supply. Not only did it cost a small fortune to put it in, it costs a good bit to maintain. The county in which I live has been trying for years to charge me for the water from the well on my property that I dug and that I maintain. My little well has been the topic of many county council discussions. I have suggested that the county put in a water line to my property (it would cost them millions) but that's never going to happen. What do you want to bet that they will try to put a meter on my well one day? Notice that I said "try."

The UN and the EU are currently working on a "carbon tax" that would do literally that, tax the air we breathe.
Under the North American Union (information available at www.spp.gov and www.infowars.com) we would be paying this tax. It wouldn't go to the Federal Reserve (the private corporation that has printed all of the US money since 1913) to pay down our $40 TRILLION debt, but it would go to them (the UN and EU) to be used somewhere somehow, as they see fit, under only their own supervision.

Haven't you heard? That's the global warming scam. First, they convince most of the idiots in the country that we're at fault for a natural process that's been going on for the last 18,000 years. Then, they explain the "solution" is to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Guess what we exhale....CO2. Guess who's going to pay for this "clean up"....tax payers.
So, now they've figured out how to tax you for exhaling. I can't wait to see what they come up with to tax us for inhaling!

The UN wants some sorta voucher system on how much pollution we would be allowed to contribute to the atmosphere. Does that count seeing as how Liberals seem to think we would be a whole lot better living under the UN flag than the American Flag.

Air is taxed. Just try to buy a bottle of oxygen, such as Scuba Divers use.

A tax on air is an investment in the future of our children.
Not really, but that's how they'll justify it.

Of course they will...
they have allowed industry to fill the air with chemicals,
so now they have an excuse to charge us for the use of these chemicals.

They tax us on everything because we let them. Oh, but don't tax freakin' tea. We didn't let the Brits tax our tea, but we let our own government tax our resources.

I'm figuring it will be in Barack's first budget or the last budget of Hillary's second term
