return the money from these tariffs to everyone through a unconditional income
- PaulHoule 6y agoDefinitely if you did a carbon tax it could be made revenue neutral by either paying it back to people and cut other taxes.
- lcam84 6y agoThe protests happen in part because the demonstrators do not trust the government to spend the money well. They are afraid that they will distribute it to the "usual few" or "subsidize the lazy ones". Distributing the tariffs equitably among the population would take that stigma away. This would encourage those tariffs that are so necessary for us to comply with the Paris agreement.
