2021 was Biden's first year in office, and the first thing he did was reverse the tariffs on Chinese goods. Thank you for illustrating my point.

What point did I illustrate?

Tariffs don't necessarily mean higher prices, they are likely to create more competition. Effectively, tariffs are taxes on corporations, i.e. the rich.

Biden wants the rich to pay their share of taxes? That was my point, but I understand your need to take it.

No politician will tax the rich, that's a lie. Biden has been in office for 3.5 years, what taxes has he imposed on the rich?

I'll try another way: Forcing a consumer to pay a carbon tax does not inspire the producers to develop clean energy. You have to hurt the producers. Taxing the poor will not inspire them to increase domestic production. You need to tax the producers.

I'll ask again, does paying more taxes give politicians the ability to change the weather?

It's almost as if you think the rise in carbon levels is a problem that politicians want to solve. If that were the case, we would have nearly free electricity tomorrow and everybody would be driving electric cars in 10 years' time.
