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
