Certainly some truth in that but depends on the services that are inflated.

Contractors underbid each other all the time and often eat taxes to gain work or market share.

It is not uncommon in most consumer products.

If items such as food and gas increase all one can do is try to cut down on their use. They are essential and we must have them.

Expenses are the cost of doing business and profitable companies can afford to pay to clean up their act.

Some of the key industries targeted first in carbon trading plans are not hurting industries and will ante up all on their own.

The Auto industry can't afford to increase prices over climate control, it is a highly competitive market as it is.

There could be some sort of carbon tax built into Auto sales but the competitive market would still have auto makers lowering their price to sell their vehicles.

There is a limit to what consumers will pay to corporate America for their goods if their prices increase dramatically for climate reform.

Industries have to encourage consumer use and many consumers will simply be content with what they have now instead of buying new because of additional cost.
