However, your proposal to use billionaire and corporate taxes toward the cause of climate change shows a misalignment of what most people value. In 2024 , a Pew Research survey of top issues for Americans show strengthening the economy (73%), defending against terrorism (63), reducing influence of money in politics (62), reducing healthcare costs (60), improving education (60), making Social Security sound (60), and reducing crime (58) as the top concerns. Dealing with climate change came in at #18 with 36% thinking of it as a high priority. Please talk with more non-academics to see what their concerns are for government. It's not climate change.
