Bye bye...!
Why not just put the tax on the product that produces the energy? Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.
Not really advocating the idea but my guess is the Saudis and a lot of the other big producers won’t pay near their fair share.
The taxes are really for more affluent nations to subsidize the poorer nation. It’s sort of a redistribution of wealth.
If you breathe you will be taxed!
You give these Green POS’s an inch and they will take everything. This would legitimize a ruse and a hoax.
How about just eliminating all corporate income taxes and transfer the burden to the consumers? That’s what is happening now! Corporations don’t pay taxes. They collect them for the government. Taxes are part of all goods and services in every transaction.
CO2? Quick, somebody explain how that is calculated and audited. Do they calculate the oxygen breathers, energy usage, what? What meter are they goi g to read? It’s another ambiguous ruse.
I support a $5 per word tax on bloggers. It wouldn’t balance the budget, but it would sure get rid of a lot stupid ideas.
Most EU countries tax automobiles on the grams per mile (or km) of CO2 emissions.
The car I drive would be subject to an ANNUAL carbon tax of about $400 if I lived in the UK.
No thanks. No carbon taxes please, they are based on a lie.
Yeah, right.
In the history of the world, no new tax has ever replaced an old tax. New taxes just get added on top of the old ones.
Tax unicorn farts!
Start off low...
How about a squirrel up Dan’s butt to suck out some methane?
They should also outlaw oxygen. It is a known explosive, and right-wing extremists use it all the time.
Tax stocks and financial trades. It will get rid of the massive gambling. Stock markets are there to finance business, not as a slot machine.
A am suspect of any new tax scheme, until our budgets are balanced. Any revision prior to that is dangerous.
Finally showing your true colors, eh?
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. It’s 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.
How about we get rid of the corporate income tax and replace it with NOTHING!!!
Can’t we just tax rich people? They have more money than they know what to do with. I mean... If I can live on $400 a week EBT so can they. They’ll keep working just as hard with a 99% tax rate.
Because the Government would never give up the corporate income tax; they would likely INCREASE it along with the carbon tax. That is what both Sanders and Clinton want to do.
Do you support the proposition in the article or are you posting it for mockery?
