Stop Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax)

[Congress voting Friday]
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Office of House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) today launched a new video news release entitled, "Number One Priority.” The video highlights Speaker Pelosi’s top priority, “cap and trade” legislation that will impose a national energy tax of up to $3,100 on all Americans and slam small businesses with higher energy bills, causing the loss of millions of jobs. ∴ In a year that has seen the loss of 2.9 million jobs in America, Republicans remain focused on creating jobs, cutting spending to reduce the deficit, and keeping taxes low.
