While our nations capital sits under a couple feet of snow - Our lawmakers (who just got back from the Copenhagen Freeze-In) are still trying to squash the coal biz over the "climate change" scam.

Meanwhile the Aussies just inked a deal to EXPORT COAL to China for the next 20 YEARS.

Wake up people.... shit!

Australian firm strikes $60B coal deal with China

Australian firm says it has struck a $60 billion coal deal with Chinese firm

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- Australian company Resourcehouse Ltd. said Saturday that it has struck a $60 billion, 20-year agreement to supply coal to China Power International Development Ltd., calling it Australia's biggest export contract.

The deal is the latest in a string of major contracts between Chinese firms and Australian resource companies as the Asian nation tries to secure the energy, steel and other materials it needs for its surging economy.

Resourcehouse said it would supply 33 million tons (30 million metric tons) of coal a year to the Chinese company, at a price of about $3 billion a year, for 20 years starting from about 2014.

The deal will help bring about the planned development of a series of mines and other infrastructure including a 310-mile (500-kilometer) rail line and port facilities in the Galilee Basin in northeastern Queensland state.

"When you need a lot of money there is no better place to get it than in China," said Clive Palmer, who controls privately-owned Resourcehouse.

That means if you live in the US and don't have kids, you are subsidizing everyone that does have kids, rich and poor.

If you live in the US and pay Fed taxes you're subsidizing everyone that earns $9k or less a year whether you have kids or not.

You're also paying interest on US debt the Chinese own.

So the Aussies are selling coal to this country we're indebted to, while a lot of the people representing us want to tax coal for the dubious cause of "climate change".

Since the Chinese clearly intend to be using coal for at least 20 more years - what are the chances they will abide by any American "climate change treaty" our lawmakers might draw up?

Claiming you're getting screwed sounds just like complaining.

Everyone who was born and raised in the US received the same benefit when their parents claimed the deduction assuming they had parents who worked and paid taxes...

When you were a kid you received a benefit through the taxpayers when your parents claimed you as a deduction.
And until you met the minimum income level where you paid taxes - you were also subsidized by the taxpayers.

When stating facts it's better to include all of them....

Not many people are for abolishing taxes.
A lot of people don't want the gov taxing more and increasing it's role in the economy.

To just STFU and pay taxes sounds like sheep-like behavior.

What I like most is how the 33 year old guy who washes cars and sweeps the shop for me and has no ambition gets $5500.00 - $7000.00 back every year. Actually, since he didn't pay in that much he doesn't really get it "back" does he?

I think you will find the kid money is a one off payment when they are born.

Dont forget we have government funded health care too, best thing ever. I also have private health insurance, for tax reasons, plus gets you a bit better hospital, one with carpets in your room haha

That's only for people that don't make much money. I think under 47k.
