This tax is a way to redistribute wealth, raise energy costs, give biased control to politicians, and increase government.

The are going to set up direct deposits to bank accounts of the poor in order to compensate them for their reduced energy purchasing power as a direct result of this bill.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the economic impact, or the fact that your money will flow so quickly and directly to someone else with practically no oversight.

That my friends, is robin hood wealth redistribution.. and it's spooky.


So what exactly was "cherry picked"? And do you really think volcanos release more C02 than the combined activities of almost 7 billion people?? Maybe, you should research this a bit more carefully... And if you are worried about where the money is going and the oversight component of this bill, well that is a legitimate concern, but that does not mean the bill itself is bad. This is not robin hood wealth distribution. The money will go towards supporting climate reversal and protection. What specifically is it that you have an issue with? The economic impact is overblown, and the cost per person is very low... so this isn't as big of a deal as you might think.
