How do taxes offset CO2? If anything they indirectly contribute to carbon emissions by way of fossil fuel subsidies.
- kortilla 3y agoFossil fuel is not subsidized with tax money. It’s subsidized with tax discounts. That’s happening regardless of tax income because the federal government doesn’t run a balanced budget.
- kensai 3y agoIn the sense that Taylor Swift and Elon Musk probably pay more taxes that can be used to offset the CO2 they produce by flying and being efficient for their work.
