Shameless Libs Exploit Death Of Firefighters To Promote Extremist Agenda, New Tax Hikes

THOM HARTMANN (02 July 2013): When those brave firefighters are laid to rest later this week, their funeral costs are most likely gonna be paid for by their family members, and that should not be the case, because it was the fossil-fuel industry in this country that killed these men, and the fossil-fuel industry should be responsible for paying for their funerals. These deaths are just the latest example of the overwhelming negative externalities associated with America's addiction to toxic and dirty fossil fuels. A negative externality -- this is fancy economic-speak -- it's a cost borne by all of us that was produced by a private entity and then dumped on us.
