    Income transfer won't fly.  Given that our ruling party won't accept income transfers from wealthy to poor, this thing just won't fly. This would transfer money from those who use more than the average amount of carbon, to those who don't (typically poorer people).  Unless of course we can get people to vote based upon their own economic interest, not flag lapel pins!
