Would love to know what she thinks about funding infrastructure. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 12, 09:20 13
- That’s a really good question. Her campaign website is fairly quiet on the issue. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 09:35 1
  - Every state for itself!!! -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 09:36
- (This is an issue where she's in the minority of D candidates, not supporting a raise in the gas tax) -- nm - Strongbad Jun 12, 09:22 10
  - I am opposed to them as they tax all income levels equally. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 09:26 9
    - Kind of like giving a $100 speeding ticket to a billionaire. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:27 8
      - BUT, that's just on an individual level. It compounds as the usage goes up/parallelizes, so it's somewhat effective in that way. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:27 7
        
        It's still regressive. -- nm - mud Jun 12, 09:29 6
        
        Lets keep the poor people off our roads! -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 12, 09:32 5
        
        What would a progressive carbon tax look like? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:50 4
        
        First thought would be to offset it with a refundable income tax credit -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 10:00 3
        
        It's also been suggested that taking the carbon tax profits and directing them toward services for those in need would help to offset regressiveness. - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:12 2
        
        Except those taxes paid by multinational corporations will just get added to the cost of goods, so the consumer ends up paying anyway. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Jun 12, 10:27 1
        
        Counter-argument: The current state of the world acts as a subsidy to those corporations, which effectively compounds the emissions problem. - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:30
I'm curious what her plan is in the event of losing the general election due to interference and deepfakes. I'm hoping it involves aviator sunglasses. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:06 1
- ... and maybe a bandolier. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 09:10
