Obama Wants 'Price Signals' to 'Change Behavior' (video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bueCxeXZAUU&eurl=http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31781_Obama_Wants_Price_Signals_to_Change_Behavior

In an interview on Iowa Public TV in 2007, Barack Obama advocated sending “price signals” to middle class consumers in order to “change their behavior.” “Price signals” being an Orwellian code word for punitive taxes and fees. And Obama doesn’t seem to care much who it would hurt.

Can we say, "An exhorbitant tax on cigarettes, other tobacco products, liquor, fast food, and even an increase in the gasoline tax" ??

You can say all of that and more.  The government has already mandated what kind of light bulbs you will have to purchase in the future and they are a lot more expensive than the current incadesent type
