- ajsnigrutin 2y agoAnd that power companies co2 tax will be paid by whom?
- fallingsquirrel 2y agoThe same people who pay their payroll tax. Should we abolish payroll taxes too because some customers are poor?
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoBut you have to earn more to pay more payroll tax and you still take home more than before. At least in my country, people on minimum wage pay almost zero income tax. Some people can barely afford heating already, and we're making it even more expensive for them, while people like musk/bezos can just avoid it, or even earn money on co2 coupons. If you suggeted banning private jets, bot for the rich and the poor, then sure, that would affect bezos a lot more than bobby below-average over here, but not this.
