--So kill some of the poor people?-- This is the reality of what will happen from a tax on getting to work and fueling your body to provide work. Solutions that involve taxing always disproportionately hurt the poor and do nothing to curb poor behavior of people who are well off. Unless we are taxing as a percentage of income? Let's go with that. All unneeded polution is taxed and the money goes to reversal of the problem. So: - You buy a car that fits more people than what exist in your family (1% per seat per year). Other metrics for weight of vehicle/mileage/EV status/gas useage over the year as well. - Your garbage collection is limited to 5 bags a year and each additional bag is 0.1% - Not understanding how to recycle is 0.01% per item needing to be sorted correctly. - Electricity usage is taxed after a certain kWh is reached on a yearly basis @ 0.02% per kWh. Etc. The problem is that everyone thinks it isn't their problem. The solutions people produce never negatively impact themselves. Including mine above. Though I already practice what I preach. Exception being that the limits above are more forgiving than the ones I impose on myself. My tax would be near zero, if not zero or negative perhaps, given the above framework.
