What to do about climate change........
If you have sufficient means (re.$); then the government can impose carbon taxes on the various polluters- cars, gas, electricity etc. and it will have no impact on
those with the money because they can afford it. I see people with multiple homes and jetting to wherever as the biggest proponents
of eliminating all forms of carbon emissions.
It's the poor, the disenfranchised- the people with the least means to bear a carbon tax, most effected.
Look at the riots in France- ever increasing taxes to pay for carbon. What would happen if the US government imposed a 11cent carbon tax on gasoline for instance??
You know what would would happen.......the wealthy would shrug and carry one while the lower class would struggle to decide to pay for food vs gas to get to work.
If you live in a big city- you do not need a car but if you live like where i am- you can't get to work without one.- and you would be trapped because there is no bus service
to the town or out of the town.
I think the any form of tax on carbon can only hurt the most vulnerable. The solution must come from technology not tax.............IMHO ........Folken
