In response to International survey shows 81% back forcing big oil to pay for climate destruction

What is the point of extra taxes?

If nothing else, King Trump has proven that tariffs have minimal impact on big business and once again the general population pays the bill.

One way or the other, the average person pays, be it as an increase in insurance premiums, property being uninsurable, an increase in taxes/government spending to carry out the disaster repairs/relief, homelessness bought on by their homes being burnt down, flooded or generally unlivable.

The further down the food chain one is, the less likely you are to benefit/survive the horsemen of the Apocalypse, let alone the fifth and most dangerous horseman, capitalism, which was unknown during Biblical times, but ever present now.
