I'm totally sold.

Oh, I hope that nut-bar is the front runner for the Dummycrats. What a slam-dunk! I think that he and that former governor of Georgia . . . what was his name? . . . Oh, Carter, Jimmy Carter, should both be on the ticket.

elimination of all payroll taxes — including those for social security and unemployment compensation
Playing devil's advocate here - what if this worked and CO2 levels declined to the point that no one paid taxes.
How would we fund these (and all other) programs that are now tax supported?

...Gore also called for the complete elimination of the payroll tax. It would be replaced by a tax on CO2:

So he wants to tax us on every breath we exhale?

Even Augustus didn't tax air, just urine.

Wait until Manbearpig finds out about this.

He's for anything that hurts big business. Gee, that means no jobs for the rest of us because Gore will bankrupt the big businesses.

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.

Of course Comrade Al doesn't mean that he would do away with the income tax - according to the way that Commies speak (and lie), income tax withholding is not what they're thinking of when they talk about "payroll taxes". It's just a ploy (but then, when isn't everything that Demo/Commies advocate just a sneaky ploy), a rather baldfaced one at that, but just a ploy...
