Dems Crammed an Energy Tax into the Build Back Better Boondoggle

You best take a step back because House Democrats built a new energy tax into HR5376 and it is not going to make your life better. But it will make it more expensive.

HR5376, better-known as the not so better Build Back Better bill, is a dumpster fire of checkboxes for Progs. One of them is a methane fee. This tax on “emissions” will find its way into your energy and heating bills because inflation and rising energy prices haven’t been enough of a burden on your budget.

Jared Golden from Maine is the only Democrat to vote no (not a single Republican voted yes).

This means that if you have Democrats in congress from your area they gleefully added yet another tax on the cost of existing and, if it gets cold where you live, the cost of staying warm.

But it gets worse, as Democrats like to call that Better.

The tax is on natural gas.

Natural gas is the king of lowering emissions if that’s something you think we need to do and Democrats think that.

In other words, after making domestic gas less readily available (and increasing the price) they added a tax to make it even less affordable.

But you have to use it, so the end result of this Democrat math is the extraction of at least another 8 billion over ten years from your pockets because they know better how to spend it than you.

At the beginning of a grand solar minimum that is likely to last 35-50 years.

What we need is a grand Elected-Democrat minimum.

Does anyone want to help us make that happen?
