It's almost like the voting population consists of people with various different opinions. Personally if I could be assured that a carbon tax would be spent mostly on low-overhead tree/algae farming, and to a lesser extent useful research, I would be ok with it. Otherwise, it's just a cash grab that impoverishes people more for no benefit.
- renewiltord 3y agoHaha, of course. Carbon taxes can't be a cash grab if they're revenue neutral which is easy to do: just evenly split by each taxpayer+dependents and send it back as a tax credit. In fact, that's exactly how it's done right now in many places that implement it. But no algae farms, sorry. Sort of illustrates the point perfectly hahaha.

In fact, that's exactly how it's done right now in many places that implement it. Tax credits are a scam too. I'd rather have everyone pay a reasonable low tax for this purpose than favor some people and uses over others. The market will probably sort that out if you let it. >But no algae farms, sorry. Sort of illustrates the point perfectly hahaha. Most of our oxygen comes from algae, so it's not crazy. But I'd prioritize other things first, probably.
