Control and Tax bill does not require
However, Snopes does admit that the bill includes a "Building Retrofit Program," with funding for states to offer financial incentives for property owners to "voluntarily decide" to improve energy efficiency. Uh huh. I can just guess where such a program would take us. Is this the same government that tries to tell us that paying taxes is "voluntary?" And doesn't this sound suspiciously like a redistribution of wealth program? During the past five years I've slowly replaced the windows in my home with more energy efficient windows. I've replaced my furnace with a more energy efficient furnace. I've replaced my water heater. I've replaced my dishwasher. Now I'll be forced to pay for those same goodies for someone who couldn't be bothered to do it for themselves? It's a sad state of affairs when our legislators pass laws that they haven't bothered to read; laws to control a problem that does not exist.
Why should we trust
them?
