The article says the proceeds from this carbon tax will be distributed among people who have a Social Security number. Huh?
Question 1: How is this tax calculated?
Question 2: How will giving the proceeds of the tax back to the public reduce any alleged global warming...oops, I'm sorry....climate change impact?
This sounds like a typical big government tax scheme. Collect taxes from the people, siphon some off for the elites and redistribute it back to the people who will be a little lighter in the wallet to show for it.
Where's the impact or benefit to the climate or the environment or the weather or the earth? There is none. This is just a way for the establishment to pick our pockets again.
This is a bigger scam than the climate change scam itself.
