We present today a helpful guide for budgeting your money over the coming years. The Tax Foundation has provided a nifty calculator online for computing the “financial burden” of a cap-and-trade system to (ahem) curb greenhouse gases.
The calculator shows how much a household can expect to shell out based on a study conducted by the foundation.
The average family’s burden would be $1,218 or about 2 percent of its average household income, the foundation tells us. Oh yeah, one other thing. That’s 2 percent on top of all the taxes and do-good burdens you already pay.
Ah, what the heck. A measley 2 percent. You didn’t need that dough anyway, huh?
Go here for the calculator. Then go here or here or here to complain about it.
