| Congrats you just made everyone subject to those taxes artificially worse off. People aren't stupid and can see what you did. You will be voted out of office next term. If you're going to artificially adjust prices it's got to go the other way where you subsidize the behavior you want. It worked with lightbulbs. |

This is the "I know you're struggling but the economy is actually doing great" but applied to environmentalism. | |
