Psychopath Bill Nye: “We Need A Carbon Tax To Redistribute Wealth”
PatDollard.com ^ | 03/26/2015 | Campus Reform

Posted on 03/26/2015 6:10:55 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Excerpted from Campus Reform: Speaking to students at the University at Albany, Bill Nye the Science Guy said that a carbon tax was needed for the purpose of redistributing wealth.

“We need, dare I say it, a tax, or should I say a fee,” Nye purportedly said Wednesday, right before an anonymous student began recording.

“It’s not just to be mean, it’s to redistribute wealth,” Nye said.

Nye went on to claim that instituting such a tax would drive innovation in more environmentally friendly ways.

“It will stimulate people investing in more energy efficient means. If you gotta pay a fee every time you make carbon monoxie and somone comes up with a more efficient car, you’ll use that car. Somebody comes up with a more efficient blender, you’ll use that blender. I mean, that’s just how it’s going to go.”

The free campus event distributed 1,000 copies of Nye’s new book Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation to students in attendance. The lecture, part of an annual student-run speaker series, quickly became a pro-big government, higher taxes rally.

“The trouble with this is, there are people now, in the U.S. government, who don’t like government,” Nye lectured.

The former television host and Disney actor then ranted about limited government conservatives, comparing them to a General Motors employee that wants to shut their own company down.

“We have to get people who really want the government to do what it’s supposed to do, which is run things,” Nye said.

I have the solution. Tax Bill Nye every time he breathes. Doesn’t he know he’s exhaling CARBON DIOXIDE by the bucketful?

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun

OK. Let’s experiment with wealth redistribution. Let’s start with the entertainment industry, wealthy politicians, and athletes - and see how well that goes over.

eighth amendment:
“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

we’ve already got 40% fed tax, plus 6.1% for 0bamacare on top of 15% for social security and match.

61% ... is that excessive?

3% was enough for the founders to grab muskets and start shooting redcoats. what do you think they’d say about 61%?

Doesn’t Bill know that you are never supposed to state the real purpose behind the global warming lies?

> And therein lies the problem. Progs think they can give the government all power and then harness it. For people with all their degrees, they sure are stupid.

Hence the term, “educated fools”

He Nye, there will be no Communist redistribution. The American people are waking up to the global warming scam. Go live somewhere else for your appetite for redistribution. I am sure you will find lots to hate about that country.

At some point in the past, busy bodies decided it was their right to make others lives more miserable so that they can have their way and make their little lives seem important. After years of abuse at their hands I think knuckle sandwiches in response to calls for further abuse are in order.

Wealth has been massively redistributed for a long time now — some dribbling down to the lowest levels but most of it drifting to the very elite 1% at the top.

“It’s not just to be mean, it’s to redistribute wealth,” Nye said.

But being mean is the fun of it, isn't it, Bill?

Full disclosure.

I happen to be a "science guy", with an advanced degree, even.

Mister (and I do mean "mister") Nye is an embarrassment to all persons of science for whom the scientific method is (or should be) THE guiding principle. The scientific method has several definitions, all fairly similar, but one might consider the way I learned it. It's been many decades, but I suspect that my recall is pretty close:

Observations lead to questions, questions lead to hypotheses, hypotheses lead to experiments to validate, presentation of results, inviting feedback from (gasp) doubters, and maintaining willingness to re-examine conclusion as new information becomes available.

Mister Nye abandons the scientific method, as "global warming/climate change" isn't even an observation, it's a computer model (and has already been sufficiently wrong for honest experts to question model validity.

Nye is pop culture “info”, not even science. As a physicist, science ain’t watt this fool is preaching. Common core type crap.

Touchy feely never is science, that is astral world emotional baggage Nye-boy is flogging. Because he wants to feel good about his guilt ridden subconscious; or maybe just Occums Razor, he’s just a flaming idiot...
