Are you green?

[Cicero]

So people like me that can't afford all the expensive stuff can finally fall to their natural level and die.


I can imagine that this would never occur in the way it's been stated. I can imagine however, that I would be forced to pay both sets of taxes.

This logic does not work for me. If they cut income taxes to zero..I would still not be able to afford a smart car. And that is just one neccessity I would have of many.

I already conserve and live on next to nothing. My thermostats are usually off. I'm not the person that needs to be taxed here....

Good point. Maybe the tax shouldn't kick in until a certain threshold, so frugal people aren't screwed. Your first million BTUs are tax free.

The devil is in the details.

But the question was, since I don't think they are ever intending to do away with income taxes, will we be expected to pay both sets of taxes? Income and BTU? I am following the logic of the United States here.....
