This time, it’s on plastics and plastic production. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D, NY) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D, RI) each have their schemes for generating a national tax on plastic production as part of their $3.5 trillion reconciliation spend- and tax-a-thon.

Such a tax would be intended to discourage plastic production and sale as part of the Progressive-Democrats’ move to eliminate carbon from our economy.

Here are some uses to which plastics are put, though, products of which Progressive-Democrats’ move would greatly increase the cost for average Americans.

• piping
• plumbing
• vinyl siding
• gutters
• automobiles (up to 20% plastic)
• furniture
• toys
• polymer implants and other medical devices
• food and medical packaging
• clothing
• seals and washers
• gears, plain bearings, valve seats
• shatter-resistant alternative to glass
• insulation
• flotation devices
• waxed cardboard containers (20% plastic)

The list goes on and on.

Progressive-Democrats truly are waging war on our economy.
