Carbon taxes should be applied to carbon intensive industries not individuals.
Sure, the cost gets passed down, but you can only charge consumers so much. If it turns out that industry can't get costs down enough such that they make profit and consumers can afford it, then that is kind of the point of the tax. They need to "spend" less carbon or die out to businesses that can.
