Interesting idea…think about it.

Al Gore is proposing to replace payroll taxes with pollution taxes...that strikes me, on first reflection, as a very elegant way to align *everyone's* interests in promoting a clean environment.

The great side benefit would be the reduction of payroll taxes, which would mean companies would find it much more affordable to hire workers.

Very clever; I hope the blogosphere can help keep interesting ideas like this on the agenda during America's next presidential election in 2008.
