U.S. Congressman Dingell to Offer Carbon Tax Proposal
Proposal would be used to demonstrate public's reluctance to incur additional costs. "I sincerely doubt that the American people are willing to pay what this is really going to cost them," Dingell, D-Mich., said in an interview Friday on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers," which is to air Sunday. His proposal would boost the federal gasoline tax by 50 cents a gallon, he said, and establish a "double digit" tax on each ton of carbon dioxide emissions. The federal tax on a gallon of gas is now 18.4 cents and has not risen in 14 years."
