A comment on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0. Parent comment
What if they don't, are all exports going to be more expensive now in comparison with countries without this tax?
What if they claim to have a pollution tax but are lying at the state level?
It gets really complicated really fast.
If pollution is taxed at the source how do you calculate how much of a refund to give when exporting? Probably no one can even calculate that for you.
And not giving a refund would destroy exports which is an obvious problem.
