Sure. I love paying my taxes. I think they buy us the kind of society I like to live in.
I think taxes are useful in terms of getting prices right. If some activity is generating negative externalities, a market economy will only function efficiently if prices reflect the full cost and full benefit of the activity. Therefore, if we've got carbon and we know there's this enormous social cost, the market can't perform properly. So we've got to get that price right, and the way we do it is by imposing a tax on carbon to try to get the price right.
I'm not opposed to those.
