To counter the administration's attempt to bury this tax increase in our utility bills, The left obviously does not want taxpayers to know the real cost of the tax-and-trade scheme even though sound tax policy dictates that taxes should be visible to taxpayers and not buried in the cost of the items we purchase.

When . . .you're on the floor of the House, and you say things as fundamental as, ‘It's not the government's money, it's the people's money' that that is a concept that does not necessarily resonate with most people in that body. That is a new and different concept. I would venture to say most people do not agree with that statement.
