One such new tax could potentially be a carbon tax. Other countries with struggling economies such as Ireland, have adopted carbon taxes to both reduce the deficit and help change behavior (meaning, make people more green!) If a carbon tax is something you support, or something you'd like to learn more about, I highly suggest taking a look at this petition.

Happy New Year!
We are very much in favor of a carbon tax, in fact we think a properly designed one could eventually replace the income tax in the US. We think so highly of it that Jon actually developed a catch name "Pennies per Pound" and created a website with lots of information about how it could work and what the pros and cons would be: http://penniesperpound.org/
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, there's a link there to a petition to your Congressmen recommending the Pennies Per Pound carbon tax plan.
Check it out! Alicia
