Fannin County Farm Bureau: 'Cap-and-trade will come with hefty price'

Bonham – Americans will be effectively face a 15 percent tax hike if the cap-and-trade provision of the current energy policy in Congress becomes law, Fannin County Farm Bureau President Jerry Magness said.

“U.S. citizens will pay up to $200 billion annually, or approximately $1,700 per household,” said Magness, explaining the analysis by the U.S. Treasury Department. “It would be like a 15 percent hike in personal income taxes for every American household.”
