Could you do carbon tax brackets? Like your percentage is different based on your income.
If a carbon tax raised prices for meat, how much of an increase would be costly enough (to you personally or to populations you care about, e.g. lower income families) that you would be uncomfortable supporting it?

The tax is imposed at the level of the producer — essentially a reverse-subsidy that'd raise prices. The government has no standing to mandate that grocery stores sel products on a sliding scale

You didn't put zero. Carbon tax is a scam to take our money and give it to the "green" elites

Yeah, it's complicated! One thing I worry about is that from an animal welfare perspective, cattle ranching is arguably much less harmful than either chicken or pig farming

I'm imagining a blanket tax, but I also don't know if these numbers are reasonable. I'm pulling them from memory from an article I read a while back anticipating something like +5-15% for chicken & +20-40% for beef
