RE: How Bad Global Warming Science Hurts the Environmental Movement

in #climate6 years ago

The more disturbing thing about the "carbon tax" is the fact people don't understand the legal precedence it opens.

We are carbon-based-lifeforms. We exhale carbon. Passing a "carbon tax" paves the way for the possibility of taxation on breathing.

Not to mention it's just oil 2.0

Sort:  

Obviously it is taxation that favors the rich, due to them paying the least relative to what they have.
Carbon excretion does not closely follow personal wealth in a 1:1 ratio.
Carbon tax is closer to taxation that taxes everyone, unrelated to their wealth, and therefore will be a small expense for the rich, and a big expense for the poor and the average.
