When the CO2 tax was introduced in Germany you could see people make ridiculous statements like how rich people with their electric cars and heat pumps and so on have 0 tons of emissions and the CO2 dividend of roughly 75€ per year is therefore primarily benefitting a handful of rich people. You can't make this up yet there is a ridiculous number of people believing this. The CO2 dividend works like this. If you emit an average amount of CO2, then you effectively pay nothing. If you emit less, you get more money than you pay in. If you emit more than the average, you pay in. By this arrangement the vast majority of people either get some money back, pay nothing or only pay a little and the rich pay a lot.
