61. I understand what you're saying

but I don't think it would solve the problem. In fact, it would make it worse.

Take a look at this analysis. It also includes a good explanation of how it would place an even greater burden on the poor and middle class.

How about tax reforms that simply close the loopholes to which you were referring? Or maybe a tax cut for a hybrid but not a Hummer or breaks for solar panel installation and other things that encourage responsible environmental and fiscal behavior and policy.
