Al Gore's Hilarious New Plan!!!

Posted on 09/18/2006 2:35:05 PM PDT by Minus_The_Bear
I think Al Gore may have outdone himself and proposed his most hilarious plan yet... wait for it..
...Gore also called for the complete elimination of the payroll tax. It would be replaced by a tax on CO2:
"For the last fourteen years, I have advocated the elimination of all payroll taxes — including those for social security and unemployment compensation — and the replacement of that revenue in the form of pollution taxes — principally on CO2. The overall level of taxation would remain exactly the same. It would be, in other words, a revenue neutral tax swap. But, instead of discouraging businesses from hiring more employees, it would discourage business from producing more pollution..."

I hope there can be a checkbox on the 1040 form for those who wish to pay additional CO2 tax!

Guess I stop breathing then?
I can see all of us wearing a bag over our mouths, with a meter reading how much co2 we breath out, and being charged monthly.....

Easy now, Along with CO2 would be a tax on methane production and I have an uncle who would be bankrupted.

Al Gore wants to tax breathing? First we had a president who claims he didn't inhale and now we have a vice president who wants to tax us when we exhale!

At least he wouldn't be able to tax dead people retroactively like Bubba did.

I'm all for it. But first we must abolish the payroll tax and the unemployment tax and then I promise we get to Algore's "fart" tax first thing, I promise.

Gore is one sick little mouse.
I just hope he decides it is best for the country to run for President one more time. If nominated, he would absolutely insure a GOP victory.
