Cap & Trade Bill Hurts the Little Guy

June 26, 2009

Washington, DC -- Mr. DUNCAN:  Mr. Speaker: I have noticed that most environmental radicals come from very wealthy or very upper income families.

Perhaps they do not realize how much they have hurt the poor and lower income people by destroying jobs and driving up prices.

Now, those who seem to be the loudest in saying they are for the little guy are about to pass a bill that is going to hurt the little guy most of all.

This cap and trade bill is going to drive up prices for gas, for utilities, and especially costs for small businesses and farms.

Businesses in China and India will probably jump for joy because this is going to give them even greater advantages.

And college graduates all over this Country will wonder why they cannot find good jobs and have to keep working as waiters and waitresses because this bill will drive even more jobs to other countries.

I hope everyone who is undecided on this bill will vote for the little guy instead of the big money environmental groups and the big businesses which will benefit from this very costly bill.
