Taxes have a bigger effect on the poor, while pollution is caused overwhelmingly by the rich.

    Because the poor have no resources to tax -- it makes no sense to tax them. And it doesn't mean the rich will be paying a fair share, just that they will be paying more than the poor.

      If the taxes on pollution are flat, they are by definition paying their fair share.
