Lets be clear about a few things regarding carbon taxes. First, the system of taxing carbon emissions, also known as cap-n-trade, has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. Second a carbon tax is the holy grail for the totalitarian globalist world view.
The concept of a tax on carbon emissions was developed inside the same financial network of multinational monetary interests that control the current global trade system. Powerful financial interests directly connected to The World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO), together with global banking interests connected to Wall Street and all international stock-trading systems, were the first to put together a cap-n-trade proposal after the financial collapse in 2008.
The basis of a carbon tax, which is the foundational element of a cap-n-trade system, is based on the same model(s) used by multinational banks within the global trade markets.
The cap-n-trade system, is a financial scheme; an actual trading system where global leaders (IMF) would determine the equity of energy that should be proportioned to each person around the world.
From that global determination, an average of sorts, any excess use of energy by any individual or entity would lead to a payment, a tax, into a global trade market. The scale of the money involved -tens of trillions- is why a cap-n-trade system is the holy grail to control human behavior.

That’s kind
He’s another Koch Brothers minion.
A tax on carbon is a tax on prosperity. So much of our prosperity RELIES upon conversion of various hydrocarbons into heat energy of some sort, that this tax would be totally pervasive, and who is to say that the “carbon tax” would necessarily be limited to only “fossil fuels”?
Virtually every cell of our bodies contains some form of combined carbon, either as part of the proteins that make up our very bodily tissues, or as the fats and carbohydrates that provide the energy to even exist. Life is not separable from carbon in some form. Do we have to pay a “carbon tax” fee just to occupy our own bodies?
A “carbon tax” is one of those ideas that looks good in the abstract, but the actual implementation of a fair way to administer would escape even the most judicious of minds.
What next? Tax the very oxygen we breathe in, with some kind of meter to measure our daily consumption, and be subject to a court order to either pay up the arrears, or have the meter cut off?
Draconian does not begin to describe the cruel, grasping nature of this proposition.
You forget all around douche nozzle.
“Does this fool propose taxing humans for their carbon content?”
Is that a rhetorical question? Really, I think the goal is to tax, and ultimately control, all human activity.
Mittens is a globaist cuck
globalist
Instead of being a severe conservative, he is severe pain in the a$$.
Could be, but also from my perspective he could be a rectal enema syringe too.
Imagine if he were ever open to considering something like Obamacare. Oh, wait.
A-mash and Mitt, two tone death morons from, ironically, Michigan.
As a lifelong resident of the Gay State I know first hand what "Massachusetts values" look like
You can tell he’s got another 5 years before he’d have to defend his seat, as he’s aggressively the left/globalist/RINO.
Whereas Tillis and Graham are both coming up for re-election, so they’re lurching back to the right, despite being big neocon globalists, but posturing in support of Trump’s immigration tariff.
Ration cards somewhat like those for gas in WW2.
If you want gas for your limo, fork over some ration card codes.
Electricity for your mansion? Type in a few ration card codes.
Oh it’s the 6th and you’re out of ration card codes?
Sweat/shiver/walk Mitt!
The planet deserves our (and Mitt’s) best possible response.
Al Gore’s religion shouldn’t be into indulgences.
The climate will not be bought off.
Yep, the DC shuffle.
No doubt you “get it”.
Both are traitor idiots.
sorry I left that out. smile
Yes, Draconian, indeed. Limitless power and money for the elite dicktators.
Man is NOT impacting the climate!!!!
