Progressive Bull Shifting
these proposals don’t even need to make sanse anymore...
Daniel Rosenblum, an environmental attorney and cofounder of the Carbon Tax Center in New York City, a group advocating taxing all CO-2 emissions
...It will be passed through to the ultimate customers, but it will be imposed at the top of the supply chain.
...There are costs society incurs when carbon is emitted. And nobody pays for it right now. Because it’s free, nobody cares about it.
...In order to avoid the tax on the coal, individuals will probably get a more-efficient car.
My car doesn’t run on coal. [Dee Williams’ does.]
...roughly 10 cents a gallon of gasoline or, averaged across the country, maybe .72 cents a kilowatt hour, less than a penny of kilowatt hour.
...increasing the tax each year by that same amount… They’re going to know that a carbon tax is going up, and up, and up, and up. ...4 percent the first year and going up from there…
...What we’re talking about is called progressive tax shifting. We’re talking about a tax of the revenues used to offset payroll taxes or to be used to provide a rebate to all Americans. So it will be a revenue-neutral tax, a tax, but individuals won’t pay any more because of it. So it’s actually not something that you can relate to as a normal tax.
Smells like “Progressive Bull Shifting” to me.
...We’re proposing that all the monies that are received from the carbon tax go back to all Americans, either by offsetting the payroll tax or through a rebate to all Americans, ...
With no vig off the top, no doubt.
... global is the goal eventually....
Ahh ha—UNPBS.
CO2 tax? Look out Coke, Pepsi.
Look out, Budweiser and Grolsch.
Now them’s fightin’ words.
