What a scam! Who's going to benefit from Cap and Trade? Prince Albert Gore, the "pied piper of environmentalists" and GE.

"He (Gore) also is co-founder of Generation Investment Management, which sells carbon offsets that allow rich polluters to continue with a clear conscience. It's a scheme that will make traders of this new commodity rich and Bernie Madoff look like a pickpocket. The other founder is former Goldman Sachs partner David Blood."

"Others hope to cash in along with Gore. On Earth Day 2007, the various NBC networks gave 75 hours of free air time to Gore to hype climate change. NBC is owned by General Electric, perhaps the largest maker of wind turbines and other green technology in the world. It, too, stands to benefit financially from cap and trade, as Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly has noted, connecting dots others won't."

Gosh, you mean politicians are in it for the cash and the MSM is an accessory?!? Who'd a thunk it?

Of course, Boyle owned Associated Steel.

Then there is Wesley Mouch (a member of the Looters) who controls the country with other incompetent lobbyists.

Ayn was very much ahead of her time. I am sure she would be Obama's greatest critics if she were still with us.
