Carbon Tax?

The politicians have the media and the electorate arguing which form of carbon tax is better--the one offered by pinkish conservatives, or the one offered by tax-starved liberals.

The argument is no longer about whether taxing carbon is a legitimate issue or a phoney one.

It's phoney. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. All life on the planet is carbon-based. Taxing it is like taxing the air we breathe.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what they're trying to do. First they sell us on the idea that we have polluted the air, and now they are planning to tax it.

It's a problem that was originally launched in California and has since infected idle minds in large city cores with high human concentrations.
