Why Untaxing Is Fair
The guys with money will still be able to afford as much gas as they want. Only the little guys will suffer.

Importance: A major objection to carbon pricing is its unfairness to the poor. The untax solves this problem, being fair in concept and in outcome.
Main Ideas:
• The poor spend a higher percent of income on carbon (e.g gasoline).
• Untax refunds are yet higher as a percent of income for the poor.
• The poor come out ahead in return for using less than their share of carbon.
• This corresponds to the fairest way to share the common atmosphere.
