Also absolutely wrong. The fact that it stops scaling at millionaires would only be worthwhile discussing if a large share of the population were billionaires.
"This tax works great for 99% of the population, but there are some billionaires that should be taxed higher" is more of an endorsement than a counterargument.
Now, I'm sure there's some inaccuracy here, and it's a bit of a stretch to say Bezos is personally responsible for all of Amazon's emissions, but he's pretty clearly in the same order of magnitude as having a million times the carbon emissions of the average American.
Amazon literally serves those average americans, why the carbon footprint is on Amazon's account? It would hardly produce any footprint if there were no people ordering stuff.
That’s not what’s being argued. Rather, the poor are going to pay less in carbon taxes than they receive in UBI. This is simply a matter of how power laws and averages work.
Jeff Bezos, worth $150B, or the same worth of approx. 1M Americans, does not consume nor release carbon 1M times more than an average American.
Proportionally to his wealth, he's much less affected by a carbon tax.
For the same reason, someone below the average wealth and/or income is heavily affected by a carbon tax.
