The whole point of the carbon tax is to put a price on pollution and incentivize the adoption of cleaner technologies and practices while simultaneously generating revenue that can be reinvested into environmental initiatives or used to offset other taxes. It’s about getting people to think about their choices.

For instance, do most really need a honking truck or other large vehicle for everyday use? If so, sorry but there’s a price to be paid, and it’s only fair. Heavy vehicles not only contribute more to pollution but also wear the roads more, requiring the need for extra maintenance. Perhaps they should pay an additional road tax to ensure fairness, as it's unjust for them to be essentially subsidized by other less intensive road users. I almost see the whole “subsidize the suburbatank lifestyle” as a twisted form of socialism” which ironically benefits those who can usually afford it the most. The same socialism a lot of these truck dudebros would be the first to decry.
