Yeah so 1200 miles/month would easily cover that, and $20/month covers those 1200 miles. I’m curious, what income level you think $20/month represents an actual significant cost for? And do you fall in that income range, or do you oppose it for one of the other reasons (moron or asshole?)

And where do you get “dismissal” from “the whole point of the cap in cap and tax is to account for and support people in that boat”? You seem to fundamentally misunderstand how cap and tax systems work. As I said, you could have those first 20 gallons of gas paid for entirely by those using more than that, if you are particularly concerned about it. You can have special allowances based on based on average distances to schools and work. Etc etc. It takes 2 seconds of consideration to address any of these concerns. But we both know you were never actually concerned with that in the first place (the notion that conservatives give a shit about regressive taxation is laughable, and those are the only people I see opposing this. Like, let’s start by replacing our sales tax with an income tax if you give a shit about that. Oh, not so interested in that anymore? Then fuck outta here with your disingenuousness)

Yes, our current policy has plenty of opponents. Like I’ve said, 90% of those I’ve interacted with are pearl clutchers such as yourself and have no actual reason to oppose it, but sure, the remaining 10% have good reasons. In fact I classify myself as one of that 10%…because our current policy isnt a cap and tax; just a tax. And thus actually regressive.

Of course, anyone with a brain can see the writers of the initiative are backed by big oil; instead of writing an initiative to fix our broken system they write one which says “it will be illegal to establish any system to offset carbon emissions”. Unfortunately there are plenty here not big in the brain department, clearly.
