Yachts, mega or not, are an insulting waste of resources. Here I am, paying near 2€ per litre of gas, subject to a Pigovian tax, which imposes real hardships on people who earn poor wages and rely on their car for commuting. Yet no such sacrifices are demanded of the super-rich, which consume as many resources as 100s of "plebs". Sorry, that doesn't sit well with me.
- cinntaile 5y agoEveryone, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, in your country is paying €2 per litre though? Unless you have tanking cards as a tax benefit so that your gas can be free as some countries have but that's just pure madness imo :P Resource consumption is highly correlated to disposable income, so the only way to fix this as I see it would be to impose ever higher taxes on higher incomes to even out the differences? Do you have a different solution to this problem?
