My opposition comes from my lack of faith in the US government and my state government. If we pay $10, what percentage actually goes to fighting climate change, and what percentage goes to pensions and interest payments on debt. We had our sales tax raised "for the children" to make our schools better. Money goes into the general fund. I'm not sure the solution, but I have doubts the US government can handle money.
