A person does not need to be a Trump fan to see through a pack of swindlers peddling a new belief system. to suck money out of those that have it.  

The belief system being peddled may or may not be credible, but the solutions offered are completely bogus.  There is not a lick of evidence that carbon taxes or cap-and-trade arrangements produce a material change in consumption.  

What there is abundant evidence of, is that governments love to raise new taxes, and they are experts in devising methods to ensure that those new taxes follow a path that helps keep them in power.

Yes, you should know better!
