Also would you make an exception lets say for diesel fuel that alot of truck drivers like myself use. Basically that drive large trucks for their livelihood.

I guess the bigger question is, how much are the futures of your children and grandchildren worth ? Can we put a price on the need to clean up the mess we left for their futures ?

But Trump and his supporters do not believe in climate change or the need to do things to clean up the pollution we have soiled the earth with for way too long. I guess that is really the root of your question.

I don't care what you drive. I like what Canada did and I think that would be great here.Gas in Canada is .90 cents a liter whatever their tax is it all goes to pay for health care ......for everyone.Stop all state taxes on gas put them into health care system people ,all people pay nothing. States pay for there own infrastructure and the Federal goverment pays for the Federal roads.How much would the country save on Medicare and Medicade ,same with the states.

Let me get this straight: is the government considering a carbon tax to create a trust fund for the future "victims" of the climate being infinitesimally warmer than it would have been without humans (say, loss of property value due to 1" higher sea level in 200 years)? Nope. Just raise the cost of energy, to hand even more money to Big Government.

And does the carbon tax incorporate the beneficial aspects of a hypothetical slightly warmer climate, like a longer growing season? Nope. Just ignore those.

Back before Al Gore had come up with the idea of being the world's first "climate billionaire," the historical correlation of reduced sunspot activity and ice ages revealed the possibility that earth might be headed into the next ice age (in which case man-caused global warming would be helpful). Nowadays political interests attempt to suppress studies that show correlations of sunspot activity and global cooling (Scientists Suppress Little Ice Age Study | The Daily Caller), indicating a less-than-scientific objectivity.

Let me tax you $300 a month and each year I'll get you a brand new tv. Think about how great it would be to get a free tv each year!
