The peasants aren’t paying their fair share. Why should we better people take care of them out of the goodness of our hearts?
If you don’t have a clue tax something!! Econ 306
If the tactic was...no more six or eight cylinder cars, or limited air travel, or enforced public building temperatures in the winter of 60 degrees and in summer with AC working to keep you at 90 degrees...then there would be some sense of reacting to the ‘emergency’.
In this case....you can keep doing what you are currently doing....as bad as it is....as long as you pay a tax. That gimmick simply means absolute agreement that what you do....ever how wasteful....isn’t going to change anything.
After a few minutes....any fool would realize the whole game and just start laughing. Carbon taxes are simply a poker game tactic where you shift the money from the left hand to the right hand, but keep right on playing poker, at the same rate and pace.
So what kind of funding does this guy get? For some reason, he needs global warming to continue. Kinda like Jesse and Al need racism to continue in order to stay rich and will pull it out of thin air if necessary, this guy needs global warming to be true in order to keep the money coming in. Does he own stake in companies that make squiggly light bulbs?
