Political Bunker

Al Gore proposed an interesting tax plan during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech today...

"And most important of all, we need to put a price on carbon — with a CO2 tax that is then rebated back to the people, progressively, according to the laws of each nation, in ways that shift the burden of taxation from employment to pollution. This is by far the most effective and simplest way to accelerate solutions to this crisis."

I'm all for this idea! Instead of paying income taxes we would pay a tax on whatever we buy that causes pollution. Don't like taxes then buy green!
