Horrible Cap and Tax Charts

Heritage on the damage. You will note the chart is all negative territory.(Kinda looks like stalactites. Will we be living in caves?) Note especially for Illinois:
Because agriculture is energy intensive, it would be disproportionately burdened by Waxman-Markey. Higher gasoline and diesel fuel prices, higher electricity costs, and higher natural-gas-derived fertilizer costs all erode farm profits, which are expected to decline by 28 percent in 2012 and average 57 percent lower through 2035.
Also noteworthy are the effects on gas stations, which tend to be small businesses. Employment in the gas station industry is an average 33,000 jobs below the baseline every year from 2012 through 2035.
More. Lots of charts, but this is really scary too:
