grundle, I read you are the author of this.
You’ve been around for a long time. You haven’t pinged my radar much, but I assume you’ve been a decent freeper, to make it for 14 years.
That said, whatever possessed you to pen this? Taxation, especially on GLOBAL WARMING — based on a hoax and possibly a fatal one — is not what we stand for here.
You know that.
So what gives.

Ha! Will the ‘in-shape’, andren-junkies be charged more (exercise = more CO2) than the lowly cough potato?
For every pair of running shoes multiple...
For every pair of strained stretchy pants divide...

I know, let’s invent a tax based on a hoax and force everyone to BOW TO THE HOAX via government force!

I might go along with that as long they don’t include breathing, burps and farts.

Actually, a carbon tax would be a lot simpler and better than what a lot of environmentalists actually want the government to do. Plus, getting rid of the corporate income tax is a great idea.

We are just coming out of an interglacial period. I.e., we are enter another 80,000-year glacial period.
The main drawback of a carbon tax is that it tacitly endorses the Global Warming Hoax, which is currently the principle propaganda weapon of the Totalitarian Left. That, and that a carbon tax is a tax on being a living human being. Itâs a weapon with which the Left will make you into a dead human being. Converting living people into dead people is what the Left is ALL ABOUT.
Very true, on both counts.

How about we get rid of the corporate income tax and replace it with NOTHING!!! That's a lot better than my idea, but the Democrats would never support it.

What I said was that people who were considering voting for Obama for a second term in 2012 might want to consider voting for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate instead. I myself voted for Gary Johnson the Libertarian Party candidate.

The proposal would replace the corporate income tax with the carbon tax, all in the same bill.

But the repeal of the corporate income tax would be in the same bill as the creation of the carbon tax.

I don't care about how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. But I do want to repeal the corporate income tax.
Also, I think a carbon tax would be far less worse than some of the other things that environmentalists are proposing.
Plus, my proposal challenges environmentalists to do something where everyone could easily see the harm that it caused, which is very different from the thousands of pages of complex and harmful regulations that many environmentalists would prefer, which aren't immediately visible to the average person.

Any emissions coming from the human body would be excluded.

“Any emissions coming from the human body would be excluded.”
Well, that’s a relief. In more ways than one, too!

I support a revenue-neutral carbon tax on each ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Pound sand.

Rule One: NEVER give leftists ANYTHING they want. They're never satisfied. The issue is never the issue. The issue is always The Revolution.

How many business are there that do not emit any sort of gas, save what their employees exhale?
