Will Uncle Sam Go Green? New Cap-and-Trade Video

As Congress prepares to vote on cap-and-trade, the Tax Foundation is releasing a new video on YouTube created by the popular video parody artist Remy. The video presents a humorous take on Uncle Sam’s very serious attempts to “go green.”

New Estimates of the Household Burden and Economic Impact of a U.S. Cap-and-Trade System” provides an in-depth explanation of the topic.
