Instead of paying this pretax tax, the top 10 to 20% can be permitted by Congress to invest this mandated tax money themselves for energy efficiency and renewable energy. This will create lots of useful jobs.

Then every student could get a laptop computer and needed teachers could be rehired. When the tax on CO2 becomes $115 per ton, it will raise $600 billion a year according to Robert Reich in his 2010 book, "Aftershock" (Page 130). Then each American could get $2,000 each!

The top 10% in net-worth went from $46 trillion in 2007 to about $42 trillion in 2011 while the bottom 90% went from $18 trillion to $12 trillion because most of their wealth was in their houses.

If each household of the top 10% had only gained $900,000 instead of $1.8 million, then the $9 trillion National debt in 2007 would have been paid in full with $1.44 trillion left for other vital needs.

Then in eight weeks over 100 million American would be united to elect lawmakers for Economic Justice. We can even reach over 100 million Americans in 8 hours by emailing our 10 contacts and then immediately phoning each contact to do likewise!

In addition, mail a few copies in an envelope for each of your contacts to forward. Better yet send each contact a number of these leaflets inside a number of unclosed stamped envelopes. Thanks for your efforts for Economic Justice.
