Why didn't I think of that? Because you don't have a Nobel Prize in Economics.
This crap doesn't just occur to anybody, you know. It takes training.

Someone should tell the “Nobel Prize Winner” fossil fuels are already taxed at multiple levels.

Why does the “Nobel Prize Winner” economist want to take more money out of the end user’s pockets? As an economist he ought to know who pays the taxes on consumer goods.

Stiglitz, who is an adviser to Clinton, says taxing carbon would be the best way to address climate change -- and boost the U.S. economy. Is this the same Nobel geniuses who gave Muhammad Hussein Obama the Peace Prize?

The goal is to force Americans to find alternatives that are cheaper and better for the planet.If we had alternatives that were cheaper and better, we'd already be using them.
What we do have are "green" alternatives that are less reliable and more expensive. That's why you have to force people to use them.
If libs were serious about the dangers of CO2, they'd be the biggest supporters of nuclear power. We'd build a dozen new nukes a year, but libs are liars, so we don't.

He says it would lead many firms to remodel their factories and redesign their supply chains Yep, and while firms are doing that, committing economic suicide in the process while consumers are rubbing two sticks together to ignite a flame to heat up bear dung, guys like Stiglitz will be lighting up their cigars with $100 bills inside of their 8 bedroom, 6.5 bath mansions, adjacent to the ocean and dock that houses their yacht and an acre of land that houses their private plane.

"I think a carbon tax would stimulate the economy," Stiglitz told CNNMoney.
This the same genius that knew that a $15 minimum wage would supercharge a whole new class of consumers?

They should plug a couple of electrodes into Hillary to see how much energy she produces.
We could develop a new “Standard” or “Baseline” to measure what should be taxed.
They could even name this “Standard” after her.
