It’s the BTU tax all over again.
A:Don't
There is none.
Its nothing more than an attempt to monetize thin air and finally and firmly enslave all of us.
‘Rats need to be heavily taxed based on their respiratory CO2 output.
” (2) reducing the Federal deficit”
Wink, wink. We are spending $1.50 for every$1.00 we take in. If this works out we could spend even more.
How about levying a Hypocrites Carbon Tax on every enviro-nazi group that flies to meetings all over the globe, drives the highways in SUVs, and heat/cools their lavish digs using fossil fuels?
Every time a politician opens their mouth, tax the f*** out of them for all of the oxygen they’re burning up for producing nothing useful. If they’re lucky, we might allow them a credit for producing plant food, via CO2, but also tax the f*** out of them for the carbon that they consume. The message might sink in, but politicians aren’t known for being the brightest bunch.
I dunno, what’s the best way to cut your own throat? Rusty knife? Chainsaw? Helicopter rotor?
Create a law which defines the jail terms and fines levied against those who propagate this scam.
Don’t tax it BURN IT!!!
Spend less so you don’t need to come up with another tax?
[The U.S. government would slap a fee on fossil-fuel emissions and refund the revenue back to the public.] Lets see if I have this right. The cost of the tax would be included in the price of the product. (Consumer pays more.) A portion of the money collected by the govt. would pay the new bureaucrats that run the program. They then kick back some campaign donations to the dems. The rest would disappear into the black hole of the treasury and be called a refund to the public. ...... Sounds pretty close to how it would work.
All molecules of CO2 would be sequestered in an airtight chamber where Congressional Democrats would be required to stay whenever Congress is not in session.
No, your “tax refunds” don't count for they are actually returning your over payment of taxes.
So, what do you think the odds are of the Federal Government returning money to you, the tax payer?
1. Everyone is exempt
2. Set whatever rate you want
Works for me.
Algore has ALL the answers, boys!!
And, be sure not to let voter resentment and threats of recalls and public lynchings get in your way.
It’s all Tea Bagger talk, doncha know!
The overeducated idiots on the site are actually discussing this issue. Unreal. The fools don’t realize that you are paying a tax for the privilege of just being alive.
