This has to be the biggest joke in existence, they’re finally going to get the rich guys! After income taxes, corporate taxes, business taxes, social security taxes, Medicare taxes, and estate taxes all did the opposite of tax the rich, this one will totally not be used to take every penny from you!

Once they get their "green deal" in place, goodbye prosperity for the everyman forever.
Whatever "new" industry this creates will be filled with leftist diversity tokens who will poorly manage every aspect. But because it's govt mandated it's a forever business that can never run out of money. Meanwhile all goods and services go up, which won't hurt the 1% but will wreck any notion of a middle class forever.
All built on leftist lies made truth by manipulating data.
There's a reason Utopia literally means "imagined state where everything is perfect." Letting some asshole mortals tell you something is happening is different from anything actually occurring. Global warming is a multibiillion dollar lie whose investment hinges on eventually having total unquestionable authority to enact whatever they want in service of the lie.
This lie has been created and supported by parasites (and their well-meaning, gullible useful idiots) looking for an invisible problem that can never be empirically recorded or solved in any way but once decided upon is the Eternal Truth.
Once the fix is in it will never go away and you will be under their thumb forever. All for a lie that allows them the power of God.
I remember 20 years ago the very early adopters of "social justice" pointed to South Africa as the model. Look at South Africa today...that's the US in another 10 - 15 years.
Any link to share or more context on how close this is to happening?
Carbon taxes are a wet dream for the ruling class. They can make their "scientists" tweak the data whenever they want to increase taxes.
I just caught a piece of it on CNBC at the gym, I’ll do a deeper dive later, but it was of course being spewed by an economist who sounded like his entire existence has been a spit roast between Malthus and Keynes.
Second the query for a link. Still the implementation would further help the cause of getting smart cites up and running, need to get your carbon data to tax you.
In a fucked up way, taxes fight inflation.
Current inflation happens because the supply chain is fucked. Thus demand outstrips supply which leads to inflation. If governments raise taxes, citizens cannot afford as much and demand goes down. Plus, free money for the government.
Sure it fucks over the people but who gives a shit about them?
I'm going to argue what we're seeing isn't inflation rather than the devaluing of the US Dollar thanks to the money printer going BRRRRRRR....
But to the average person the effect is the same. It takes more dollars to buy things.
always funny hearing economic policy criticism from a dumb retard communist like you. AS IF you have ever been a net taxpayer. Die in the work camps retard commie scum.
