Revenue Neutral Carbon Tax Creates Jobs, Cuts Emissions, Grows Economy

[HelenaHandbag]

Were you under the impression that the government will hire one tax collector for every single taxpayer?

Is that what I said? The point was that no matter how many are taxed to pay for the government job it isn't a boost to the economy. Public jobs are an expense. We do need government jobs but the idea that hiring folks to give them good jobs is somehow an economic boost is wrong.

The idea is that a revenue neutral carbon tax will:

1) Encourage companies and individuals to reduce their CO2 emissions
2) Help individuals pay for the increased cost of low carbon energy and transportation

It is not intended to be a boost for the economy. The administration necessary to operate such a tax is not overwhelming.

The administrators of taxes make certain that the administration is as overwhelming as possible.

It is the nature of the parasite.

The "parasite" would garner no benefit whatsoever from high administrative costs. They have no interest in such pocket change. They want the TAX REVENUES. Can't get them if the high administrative costs piss off the stakeholders and shut the deal down a-borning.

The administrators are the parasites. They benefit from high administrative costs as a matter of course.

They breed like rats.

The administrators are GS9 office hacks. They have no power. They have no control. They don't even speak to those who do.

You obviously have no idea how bureaucratic spending and administrative bloat works.

And if you did, you probably would already be a bureaucrat, so you could get in on the scam.

I've been working at a DoD facility for 27 years. I work for a fixed salary. I spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for equipment and operations but, like every single worker there and elsewhere in government service, I don't get to put a single penny of it in my pocket. You would seem to be the one that doesn't know how government administration works.

I do admit we need to seal the border and evict millions of illegals.

If you want to support that, because it will also reduce emissions, feel free.

Much would depend upon what The Obama Regime is feeding them for free.......

Henry....we knew this guy was a dick but did you ever think the country would devolve into such lawlessness in such a short time span? The country is becoming a Jonestown overnight......a carefully engineered collapse. This shit with the IRS.....thats fascist stuff. Nobody is giving a shit. Gotta do what you can to prepare......this fucker is going to crash the dollar and the blame will go squarely on somebody else.

So you admit to being part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Yet people in the government often end up putting money in their pockets, perhaps you are just too stupid to figure it out.

Obviously, YOU have no experience and no knowledge of how government offices run.

s0n....gotta say......you're a living walking oxymoron.......a limpwristed lefty who works at the DOD. Fantastically hysterical.


Government works like shit and operates like shit.......always has and always will. When you have no competition you drag your ass as much as is humanly possible and everybody knows it too. Easiest damn jobs on the face of the planet.......can damn near murder somebody and you are keeping your job.

The answer to the first question: Yes.

The reason why "yes" is covered in your last sentence. When a candidate's primary donor makes a living by betting against the U.S. Dollar it behooves the candidate, when elected, to do what he effectively has been paid to do.

Obviously neither do you.

Nor do you understand CO2.

Of all the carbon emitted into the atmosphere each year, 210 billion tons are from natural sources, and only 6.3 billion tons are from man's activity. Man's burning of fossil fuel, therefore only accounts for 3 percent of total emissions of CO2.
