Do you realize this would tax people for breathing?
- p1necone 9y agoAssuming a "Tax" is an extra percentage amount on money paid in exchange for goods/services: no this would not tax people for breathing, unless you know of someone who already pays for the privilege of breathing.
- darawk 9y agoI'm fine with that. Breathing is a negative externality. If someone were to actually include breathing, it'd be an incredibly small amount relative to other human activities.
- Robotbeat 9y agoNo, it wouldn’t as breathing is basically carbon neutral (on largely vegetarian diets).
- Robotbeat 9y agoI have to pay the sewer department for crapping. I get fined for crapping where I’m not supposed to. You pay for externalities where it matters.
