The president of the Center for American Progress, a far left liberal group, got into a twitter debate and let the cat out of the bag about what Dems *actually* need to do to “stop” Global Warming.
Check it out:
Yeah she got a LOT of blowback over this, primarily because most of the protesters are poor, and can’t afford the gas tax.
Here’s how someone responded, as an objection to the carbon tax:
I drive a #ChevyVolt, because I had the luxury to pay $40,000 for a hybrid after I graduated from law school. In WA state, our myopic government has made car tabs so expensive that I know construction workers who had to stop driving their cars, and take buses w/30+ lbs of tools.

Check out her amazing reply:
The theory of a carbon tax is the Chevy volt becomes a lot cheaper relative to other cars.

She doesn’t give a damn that people are being hurt by government making it expensive to drive. She just wants to drive up prices everywhere because of some “theory” about making electric cars less expensive. What if they don’t get less expensive? What then? I guess we’re all screwed.
This is from a feminist – even she recognizes the absurd elitism of Tanden’s statement:
It once took me four years to save up for a car while waitressing and going to college full time. Must be nice to buy a car whenever you need one.

This is another liberal response:
My commute is less than 2 miles. Gas can be $20+/gallon and I won’t buy electric because of the $30,000+ price tag vs the car I own outright.

If we are serious about electric to save the planet they should be nearly free for one per person after trade-in. Or we can all die.
She just doesn’t get it:
How does this make sense? I understand why people would oppose a carbon tax – because they don’t like higher taxes. But why would progressive oppose a carbon tax?

And that’s why it just won’t work. It’s all fine in theory but people are hurting – when you can’t push this crap in a far left place like France, how do you think it’s going to go in Texas, or in the midwest? Good luck with that, Democrats!!
That’s it for the weekend. Thanks for everything, take care!!
