Title: How Much are You Willing to Pay?
Topic: Carbon Tax
Discussed by Jason Isaac
with American Energy Institute (AmericanEnergyInstitute.com)
Part 1 of 2
When the Sons of Liberty rioted in Boston Harbor over a
small tax on their beloved tea, they surely had no idea what lay ahead for what
would soon become the United States of America.
Imagine if Sam Adams and his crew had known that nearly 250 years later, the
nation’s duly and constitutionally elected representatives would seriously
consider a tax on nearly everything we buy, eat, drink, wear, drive, use, and
do.
Jason Isaac is a Senior Manager and a Distinguished Fellow at the “Life:
Powered Project” at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
How has life improved since the Sons of Liberty rioted in Boston
Harbor?
Have fossil fuels and electricity been the catalyst for our quality of life in
America today?
Too many leaders on both sides of the isle are pushing for a “Carbon Tax”. Would
this take more money from everyone’s pockets for everything we buy?

Conservatives have long been the voice for limited government, lower
taxes, free markets, and individual liberty. However, a small but

principles and embrace a national energy tax, or Carbon Tax.

close attention to this issue because it WILL affect you.

Tax on the use of fossil fuels in America?
