Congress Opposes Carbon Tax: Protecting Jobs, Families, and Economic Security.
This resolution states the sense of Congress that implementing a federal carbon tax would severely harm the US economy and national security. Lawmakers argue that such a tax is regressive, primarily hurting working-class families through higher costs and leading to job losses as businesses move overseas. The document advocates for pro-growth solutions that encourage domestic resource development instead of increasing the tax burden on manufacturers.
Key points
Financial Impact: The proposed tax is labeled regressive, meaning it would disproportionately burden lower-income, working-class families financially.
Job Security Risk: It is argued that a carbon tax would discourage US manufacturing and energy production, potentially causing jobs and businesses to relocate abroad.
National Security Concern: The resolution suggests that losing domestic production weakens US supply chain security and benefits strategic rivals who ignore environmental standards.
