Very, Very Interesting Idea

        This is really interesting; haven't thought it through to see if it holds up, but it appears to do a good job addressing one of the biggest problems we have, the volatility of tax revenues (which is about how we tax) without getting into the fruitless and never-ending battle over revenue amounts (how much we tax).

Further, this appears to offer a good path towards a carbon tax and rebate system, which ultimately is where we must go.  Getting the kinks worked out using this system above would then make extension to a carbon tax and rebate quite straightforward.
