Dumb and Dumber: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Papantonio on their Ring of Fire radio show discussing redistibuting wealth with a carbon tax
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: "With a 100% dividend, which is not a tax. Uh, you would tax the use of carbon, and then not keep the money. The government wouldn't keep the money, but it would redistribute the money evenly to every American so that those who used carbon would get a huge disadvantage, and those who didn't use or used less carbon would collect a dividend without having to pay anything...it's a novel idea."

Novel idea? If you're a Marxist. And how does that cool the earth a fraction of a degree?
