No. If you make money from ads your clients are the adversers and your readers are an asset you seek to capitalize. That is in opposition to journalistic integrity.

The current laws most certainly do not work. The fact that they don't work is a willing failure on the part of the lawmakers.

It all depends on the details, but power is a local produced good and is not something that can be escaped with laws that want to stop carbon emissions.

Banks most certainly make up money today via loans. This happens all the time.

Money can be created by banks via loans, you can just make it up.

You're missing the forest for the trees. There are plenty of ways to encourage actions without coupling them to taxes. Make the tax code simple, and put the complexity in the systems that deal with people.

Tax as a wealth transfer is exactly how to close the gap between rich and poor. You can see the picture but you have misunderstood how the elements relate. Not allowing the 0.1% to escape taxation is exactly what has to happen.

I want the rich to be taxed; the system is broken bc it allows for loopholes. 100% should just get a bill.
