PS. You are not accounting for population growth, which the US should double by the year 2050.

This sounds like a tax for living. Is that what it is? If so I wish my mother had done the right thing and aborted me.

That way we wouldn't have to worry about any of this non issues.

Like I said, I'm wondering where you got the statistic from. Also, this has nothing to do with StealthHunter. You seem to have a tendency to give false statistics to support your claims. Although I don't neccessarily disagree with many of your views, I believe you hurt your causes (some of which are also mine) with distortions.

The bottom line is, if you're actually right, then you don't need to make things up to support your positions.

In any case, population growth doesn't neccessarily equate to job growth. If it did, it'd be impossible to lose 1-3 million jobs/year.

Again, this statistic is flawed. Please show where you got it from, and what it is based upon.

I think it is probably a good thing to analyze. I just reported from the site above, though where they got it from is a good thing to Google. I'll see what I can dig up if anything.

Google brings up the following:

Maybe what they are estimating is the number of job losses due to decrease in economic power? ANy energy tax, that is exactly what would be a direct result. I'll dig more if I can find out. The way the statistics are derived may take some time. I'm wondering if it is a decreasing target over time, starting at 3 million and going backwards. I will see if it can be answered.

Well, at least you didn't originate the statistic, even though it seems that there's no real source

It's just one of those things that doesn't pass the smell test, as far as I'm concerned. While I am certainly opposed to the tax, the job loss prognostication is silly, and makes me question the rest of the theories.
