Hockeythug:
There is nothing "leftist" about a carbon tax. There is nothing redistributionistic about it. You're spouting utter nonsense.
I permit immense leeway in this forum with respect to letting people voice their opinions. When someone comes right out and puts his or her foot in mouth, however, I do not let it pass unchallenged.
Internalizing Externalities is the right and proper way to view a carbon tax. Not so acting is, in fact, the pinnacle example of privatizing gains and socializing costs. And that, Hockeythug, is that from which a true conservative would shrink, every time.
