U.S. should pay for carbon content of imported goods: Locke
 To address the serious threat of global warming, Americans should be required to "pay" for the carbon content of goods they consume from countries around the world, a top U.S. official said on Friday."It's important that those who consume the products being made all around the world to the benefit of America What about the benefit to the countries making those products? What would they do for money if they weren't making stuff for us? Oh, that's right - they'd starve in charming, authentic squalor. Something you leftist loons approve of. For others. -- and it's our own consumption activity that's causing the emission of greenhouse gases, then quite frankly Americans need to pay for that," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. You think it's so important, you start, assh*le. Pony up yourself right now, as a "good example," for everything imported you've used in the last 10 years and LEAVE THE REST OF US THE HELL ALONE.
