I am very sorry Eugene but I don’t by into this lead by example. China and India are actually classified as “developing countries” and take full advantage of that status. China completes a coal fired power plant once a week.
Here is a link to the 10 most polluted cities on the planet. Tell me why isnt there a US city in there.
If you think this is about cleaning up the world then you my friend are sadly mistaken. If we want to clean the world then the majority of the damn world needs to play by the SAME rules. This is about expanding government, expanding the tax revenue base, and redistribution. Sure it will help some but in the long run, as long as nobody else has to do it, the only thing that will be accomplished is a larger tax burden on the US population and an unfair advantage to pretty much… every other country that will continue to pollute our planet.
If every other nation will do it, then okay I am in. Until then hiding behind some ambiguous status of developing nation is a crock.
