Help Me Make Some Money (To pay the carbon tax)

I'm writing this today in sincere hope that the reader will feel my plight. With the house passing the Waxman Malarkey Carbon Tax I'm understandably in a bum mood. Sometimes it seems like the proponent of catastrophic manmade global warming are almost religious in their support of it. They treat deniers as outcasts and indeed fit for hell. No matter how many times you overlay previous IPCC predictions on reality and show that we're not warming near as fast as predicted, they'll cite a baseless dinosaur media article stating 'global warming is happening much faster than predicted'. Anyway the CBO has done an estimate that shows each family will owe only $175 to pay this carbon tax although the total cost will be close to $1000. Part of the discrepancy is due to the 'benefit' of a larger number of people making less, being in a lower tax bracket, and therefore paying less taxes. Also, people won't be able to afford to buy stuff and will be forced to do without (technically that doesn't 'cost' anything either). They totally ignore effects on GDP, productivity, etc.

In light of these recent events and the potential (if the senate doesn't grow a spine) damage to my budget I'm asking any of you guys out there who may be in need of insurance (global warming increases the chance of disaster you know!) to check out this site to get your quotes: Online Insurance Quotes
