Solve GHG climate disaster with new taxes on carbon emmisions?

In a full fledged global economic disaster, which we are now in the midst of, any new tax on anything will not last long.

Real job loss statistics and inflation numbers are finally breaking through the venier of factual manipulation that government has wrought.  Unemployment and inflation metrics designed to leave out most of the most important data to paint a rosey picture.

It's the economy...despite mass delusional media claims that fear of terrorism and race and gender are the most important social and political considerations.  

If the voters think that either party is ignoring the crisis in family economics, job loss, foreclosure and bankruptcy, in favor of anything else.  

on the GOP side, wars on terror (for oil, that make gasoline ever more expensive) to benefit other countries, like Iraq, and contractors like Halliburton.

Or place economic health behind electing the first black or woman president.  On the democratic side.

They will simply boycott this election.

Proposing more taxes on anything in this climate of family economic disaster is political suicide.
