I support a revenue-neutral carbon tax on each ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Start the tax at a low amount (perhaps $5 per ton), and then increase it by some small amount every year (perhaps $2 per ton). And use that tax revenue to lower other taxes by an equal amount. I dare Democrats to push for such a policy.
And in order to get Republicans to go along with it, the tax that gets lowered could be the corporate income tax. We could eventually repeal the entire corporate income tax, and replace it with a carbon dioxide tax.
If Democrats are truly against global warming, and if Republicans are truly against the corporate income tax, then what possible objections could they have to this proposal?
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.
Of course, it's a poisonous gas. Virtually every person on this earth who has died has inhaled it..............
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.
The poster in question (grundle) is a Paul-bot who has alternately shilled for the Losertarian Party and the Green Party during the last two election cycles.
(On top of having an obscene screen name. That means *you* Gooch.)
Green Party? Seriously? Next think you'll tell me he drives a Volt and uses one toilet paper square per dump.
Do you support the proposition in the article or are you posting it for mockery?

Sorry, sniff...

Perhaps author should impose a carbon dioxide tax on his own emissions - a lot of CO2 coming out of his mouth and aarse..
This guy is nuts. They would tax us with both.
The OP is the *author* of this asinine opinion.
Sorry, missed that.
Just wow.
Expect the Viking Kitties to arrive soon. Or maybe they are giving us a chew toy for a bit...
Well, he’s still nuts. We all know taxes never get repealed.
“Tax stocks and financial trades”
How very socialist of you. Are you Bernie or Lizzy Warren?
We should just repeal the corporate tax. It is a tax on citizens. Corporations do not pay taxes.
No to a new type of tax, you simply get two taxes as they never repeal the other taxes.
Because FFFF you.
Does FFFF you work for you?
