I know very little about this but see a lot of posts on my Facebook timeline about how bad it could be. This small article states that the whole idea is stalling.
Any views?

I've read ZERO about it but let me take a stab here: a new way for rich people to get out of paying taxes....?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Geezer started another thread on the topic a couple of weeks ago. My view is "I'm agin' it!" and so my only response is...

IS IT DEAD YET?

Apparently it's gonna be a tough sell for Pres. Obama, since Congressional Democrats are listening to unions that fear losing jobs and environmentalists that fear increased pollution. What with mid-term elections coming up in November and the problems the Democrats are already having, they won't want to upset their base any more.
