“There's such a wide variation in tax systems around the world, it's difficult to imagine a harmonized CO2 tax that every country agrees to. That's not in the cards in the near term. But the countries that are doing the best job, like Sweden, are already doing both of these. I think that eventually we'll use both of them but we need to get started right away and the cap-and-trade is a proven and effective tool.” ThinkingWorldNeedsCountryUseJobsDifficultTermImagineTaxesToolsAgreeTradeWideCardsAround The WorldProvenVariationCapsBest JobSwedenCo2Tax System Author:Al Gore

“I'm the strongest advocate you can imagine for doing things honestly and paying your taxes. Take advantage of every tax break you're legally entitled to. But I follow the letter of the law, because the consequences are severe if you're caught. I was a perpetrator at one time and suffered severe consequences.

“We like to say the Internet is the ultimate library. But libraries are libraries because people come together and fund them through taxes. Libraries actually exist, all over the country, so why is it such a reach to imagine and to someday build a public institution that has a digital aspect to it? Of course the problem is that libraries and other public services are being defunded and are under attack, so there's a bigger progressive struggle this plays into.” PeopleCountryPlayProblemTogetherCoursesStruggleImagineInternetTaxesAspectUltimateBiggerInstitutionsLibrarySomedayDigitalFundProgressivePublic Service Author:Astra Taylor

“Donald Trump was tainted every kind of way you could imagine. I mean, no way in the world that Donald Trump is a champion of working people. He has hurt workers in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Florida, multiple bankruptcies, never showed his taxes. I don't know any good thing this guy's ever done. And yet, because he was able to throw hate and poison on Hillary Clinton, he was able to somehow prevail at least until the Electoral College. I think he was skilled at just sort of, like, keeping the attention on anyone but himself. He is the most outrageous person ever to win a presidential election.” PeopleThinkingWorldKindMeanDoneHateWinningHurtAttentionImagineCollegeTaxesElectionGood ThingsClintonPresidentialChampionMultipleBankruptcyPresidential Election Author:Keith Ellison
