I don’t agree with fuel taxes, or carbon taxes. There are better ways to reduce usage…like make greener, carbon-neutral forms of energy cheap and readily available to the masses. Clean, green, renewable energy shouldn’t be a responsible choice that we’re willing to pay more for…it should be the cheapest most readily accessible form of energy to business and consumer alike.
In general, taxing energy is really stupid, and I would argue, unconstitutional. It’s stupid because nothing more directly limits productivity, increasing the cost of everything for everyone. In general, taxation should be about distribution of EXCESS and should never be levied on the poorest citizens. By taxing energy or carbon, you are taxing the production of goods and the resultant increase in the cost of goods and services is effectively a flat tax that affects the poorest citizens by the greatest margins, and is therefore economic discrimination and unconstitutional.
Instead, we should invest in research partnerships between universities and private business to rapidly and cost effectively develop and put green technology into operation. Businesses can benefit with free university research funded by government grants, in exchange for patent/profit limits on the resultant products and technologies. Many companies now spend billions in research…and energy. It could be a real win-win for everyone…and The Planet.

Is America over? Our time as a leader of the world done?
If America was a person, what would be our last words, our final confession…what would America say, before we slip into history as the greatest failed civilization since the Roman empire?
Or maybe I’m wrong. ~jg

Why are Republicans so afraid of Trump? So spineless, they won’t defend the Constitution or nearly any traditional GOP values, and instead defend this corrupt crudite and his attempt to de-legitimize the very cornerstones of our democracy. I bet the number of independent voters grows a bunch, and wise people will soon be ashamed to call themselves Republicans. ~jg
