House Members Being Hammered Over Waxman-Markey

(Originally posted by my husband at NRO-The Corner)

I'm hearing that the popular reaction to the passage of the Waxman-Markey electricity tax bill in the House has blown House members away. The public outrage is really hurting those who voted for it, and that's why the bill has been "parked" (as the Blair government used to say) in the Senate. Very good sign. We need that sort of public pressure to defeat this monstrosity, and similarly for the health-care plans. If these two overreaches go down, Obama's political capital will be spent. How often has a president become a lame duck by his own actions within a year of taking office?

Melt the phone lines, my friends or you will be paying and paying and paying.

While you're calling your Senators here and your Representatives here, may I also suggest that you let the jokers know you completely reject the 52% Tax Rate that Obamacare would require to fund that particular nonsense.

"Free" healthcare resulting in one of the highest tax rates in the OECD, household energy costs skyrocketing, and job losses due to companies escaping these horrendous tax and cost burdens, what are these liberal idiots thinking?

And don't believe the democrats when they say only the rich will be hit as Dan Mitchell explains below.
