I know – that was a pretty long freakin’ title! I apologize. I have a list of the phone numbers of key members of Congress at the end of this post – please call your representative and tell them to vote NO. If you believe that global warming exists and this is the right bill – did you also know that there is a direct redistribution of your money built directly in to this bill? (Complete text less latest 300 page amendment here opens a .pdf file).

From H.R. 2454, Section 431 – Energy Tax Credit

In the event of any reduced purchasing power as a result of Title VII of the Clean Air Act, provides tax credits to the lowest-income households to compensate for such losses.

From H.R. 2454, Section 432 – Energy Refund Program for Low-income Consumers

Directs the EPA Administrator to administer an “Energy Refund Program” to provide monthly cash energy refunds to low income individuals to compensate for any reduced purchasing power resulting from Title VII of this Act. Provides that energy refunds shall not be considered taxable income.

And – beginning on line 18 of page 819 in the .pdf file referenced above:

(d) DELIVERY MECHANISM.—
(1) Subject to standards and an implementation schedule set by the Administrator, the energy refund shall be provided in monthly installments via—
(A) direct deposit into the eligible house hold’s designated bank account;
(B) the State’s electronic benefit transfer 25 system; or
(C) another Federal or State mechanism,  if such a mechanism is approved by the Administrator.

So there are several things here – 1- it only goes to low-income persons defined in the act as anyone making 150% or less of the poverty level, 2 – they ALREADY KNOW this is going to kill the economy and take money from us, and 3 – they take money directly from our pockets and DIRECT DEPOSIT it in to the bank accounts of the poor – tax free.  This money is not subject to taxes as also defined in this act.  As I stated in yesterday’s post – this is the biggest ponzi and wealth redistribution scheme in American history.  Below are numbers of the key congressman – PLEASE CALL THEM NOW – IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
