- luckylion 6y agoThat's difficult, I believe. I'm not against doing so, but unless you're massively redistributing wealth in societies, that would primarily hit the poor. And I'm not a fan of massive wealth-redistribution.
- imtringued 6y agoWhy would it primarily hit the poor? With smart policies like revenue neutral CO2 taxes they will be the ones that profit because they are the ones who pollute less than an average citizen. Unfortunately people just won't understand even if the policy is meant to help them.
