It’s all about control

Why I don’t accept climate change arguments!

It’s not about weather or CO2 – it’s about control … of you and me … through taxes.

We got an inkling of what the American socialists have in store for you and I, last December, when the French people began rioting in the streets due to obscene socialist taxes on fuel based on the “Paris Accord” on climate change.

I do believe in normal weather cycles of warming and cooling; but not the controls that socialists want to place on the world population.

For socialists it’s always about control. Whether it’s weather, guns, paychecks, etc., it’s about controlling you. The socialists controlled the Russian, German, Chinese, Cuban, Venezuelan peoples with millions suffering and dying or fleeing the obscenity that is near total government control. Everything socialism touches turns to crap.
