A tax on carbon is a tax on prosperity. So much of our prosperity RELIES upon conversion of various hydrocarbons into heat energy of some sort, that this tax would be totally pervasive, and who is to say that the “carbon tax” would necessarily be limited to only “fossil fuels”?

Virtually every cell of our bodies contains some form of combined carbon, either as part of the proteins that make up our very bodily tissues, or as the fats and carbohydrates that provide the energy to even exist. Life is not separable from carbon in some form. Do we have to pay a “carbon tax” fee just to occupy our own bodies?

A “carbon tax” is one of those ideas that looks good in the abstract, but the actual implementation of a fair way to administer would escape even the most judicious of minds.

What next? Tax the very oxygen we breathe in, with some kind of meter to measure our daily consumption, and be subject to a court order to either pay up the arrears, or have the meter cut off?

Draconian does not begin to describe the cruel, grasping nature of this proposition.

“Does this fool propose taxing humans for their carbon content?”

Is that a rhetorical question? Really, I think the goal is to tax, and ultimately control, all human activity.

#44: "You forget all around douche nozzle."

Could be, but also from my perspective he could be a rectal enema syringe too.

You can tell he’s got another 5 years before he’d have to defend his seat, as he’s aggressively the left/globalist/RINO.

Whereas Tillis and Graham are both coming up for re-election, so they’re lurching back to the right, despite being big neocon globalists, but posturing in support of Trump’s immigration tariff.

Ration cards somewhat like those for gas in WW2.

If you want gas for your limo, fork over some ration card codes.

Electricity for your mansion? Type in a few ration card codes.

Oh it’s the 6th and you’re out of ration card codes?

Sweat/shiver/walk Mitt!

The planet deserves our (and Mitt’s) best possible response.

Al Gore’s religion shouldn’t be into indulgences.

The climate will not be bought off.
