As is typical of most Americans (and probably a few Europeans) you don't know the difference.
Capitalism has worn itself out, and proven that it does not work for the vast majority of people.
Greed is the problem. Don't lay off workers, don't increase the cost of your product.
What you do is cut the excessive salaries of people at the top of the company. There is no reason corporate execs need to "earn" salaries that are 100-1000 times higher than the employees that actually do the work.

"Cap and trade" for a company of that size is going to therefore simply mean an increased cost of doing business in America. The company can either lay people off or outsource to a less expensive nation like Indonesia or China. For a company of 200-300 employees, that's going to mean most likely about 1000 people depending on the facility when families are added in are going to lose their source of sustenance.
Try telling the tens of thousands of American workers and their families who will be out of a job in an already steep recession that it's better to "pay up front" for a global warming issue that may, just MAY, be radically overstated.

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
Oh...by the way...we may have been wrong about that whole "Global Warming" thing

Cap and trade is an attempt to use the power of the free market - you'd think you'd appreciate that.
