Clearly, it takes dedicated bloggers and letter-writers to do the analytical reporting job that our lame-ass metro dailies long ago gave up on. Dissecting Bachmann's vote against renewable energy tax credits and for continued oil company tax breaks--and using the asme reasoning that Bachmann uses when anyone talks about repealing the BushCo tax cuts for the rich--Political Muse has put it all in the proper context: Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE TAXES. An excerpt:


Let us look now at all of the taxes Bachmann chose to increase with this vote:


Extends: (1) the tax credit for production of electricity from renewable resources through 2011

If your company produces electricity from renewable resources, Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE your taxes.

(2) the energy tax credit for solar energy and fuel cell property through 2016 more...

If you personally or your company uses solar energy or fuel cells, Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE your taxes.

(4) the tax credit for residential energy efficient property expenditures through 2014

If you upgrade your home to be more energy efficient, Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE your taxes.

5) the tax credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property expenditures through 2010

If you own a gas station that is investing in alternative fuel options for your pumps, Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE your taxes.

(8) the tax deduction for energy efficient commercial buildings through 2013

If you own commercial property that you have tried to make energy efficient, Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE your taxes.

Allows new tax credits for: (1) investment in new clean renewable energy bonds and qualified energy conservation bonds; and (2) the production of plug-in hybrid motor vehicles, cellulosic alcohol fuel, and electricity from marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy sources.

Michele Bachmann voted to RAISE taxes on auto companies that are producing new and improved vehicles that save fuel and save you money on rising gas prices.

Thank You, Michele, for raising the taxes on millions of people using and developing renewable forms of energy.
