BJ Lawson Would Replace Income Tax with Carbon Tax?

[trey4sports]

i really, really cannot believe the crazy people in this thread.

i have lost all hope. i love ron paul but people were right - some of his supporters are crazy as shit.

I think y'all should be thinking of this from the economic perspective too. How many sectors of our economy are totally dependent on gas being cheap? What would happen to many jobs if gas went to 10 dollars? Now think of this, in 1900, would $10 a gallon gasoline have such a drastic effect? I think not, because people weren't so reliant on gasoline to get products and employees from A to B.

With the carbon tax alternative to income, we could gradually shrink government while also creating an economy that isn't dependent on an ultimately unreliable commodity (fossil fuels). It was very irresponsible and short sighted of us to build this interstate highway system in the 40's and 50's. You guys can check my the link in my sig to get more perspective on what I'm talking about.

He suggested exploring a non-renewable resource tax. That is a far cry from your "backs and supports"insinuation. Try again.

I, Truth Warrior do hereby retract "back and support" from a prior post.

Perhaps BJ's decision to back and support a carbon tax is merely a knee-jerk reaction, on his part. Maybe he just found a new solution to his campaign money woes.

Another alternative I'm exploring that also addresses concerns for environmental and energy policy is a Carbon Tax. A simple Carbon Tax is preferable to the complicated game of "cap and trade" for carbon credits, and a Carbon Tax is justifiable regardless of your position on man-made global warming. Everyone agrees that we need to reduce our reliance on nonrenewable energy. While this is a discussion we're just beginning, it's important to look at all of these potential options.

AGW? UN? Al Gore? NWO? Tree hugger pandering? ???


Perhaps.



or worse...

Do your own homework. I look forward to seeing you produce these "begging" threads with "dire consequences". Otherwise you remain a loudmouth

Gee, ONLY 290 BJ LAWSON, RPF threads. It felt like more.

But, of course

No, thanks

I trust nothing from the UN

Don't care...

Yeah, that's a HUGE part of the problem, world wide,<IMHO> BTW, Ron cares.

"Carbon Tax" is a "Hot Button" issue for me. Can you tell?

Happy?

bump for bj and all the crybabies here

 

[RevolutionSD]

reading this entire thread ive come to the conclusion that revolutionSD HAS to be a joke/troll/just trying to be annoying. no wonder people hated paul supporters. i mean, seriously

this is ridiculous.
can you please show me why i should support a violent, coercive government? this is what you are advocating, even with a bj lawson, and especially with a bj lawson who is compromising principles. pretty soon lawson turns into bob barr and then we're back to a fascist/socialist system within no time.

i'm not in favor of violence, therefore, i will not be voting in this election. if you are in favor of violence, by all means, vote. we need to abolish the SYSTEM, and replace it with NOTHING.

I could make the attempt, but not without laughing.

 

[BenIsForRon]

RevolutionSD, do you believe in violence in the case of self-defense?

The income tax is less than half of the federal income. We need to cut federal spending by at least 99%. There is no reason to replace it with anything.

amen. Precisely.


And if BJ really believed the FEDS needed more funding why pick on Carbon?? That's something to steer AWAY from because it is a LOADED issue that carries with it GLOBAL GOVERNANCE.

Let's think in terms of counties and states...and leave the world alone.

PHEW! Well, I'm sure glad David Price won, because we almost just elected someone who is only 95% perfect but who would replace the income tax with a carbon tax! The horror! Wow, that sure was a close call! Good thing we showed that little carbon tax fascist who's boss, huh?
