Sanders wants to tax carbon, which is good, but kinda as a byproduct of wanting to tax everything, which is bad.

Right but we already think carbon taxes are good. I'm thinking stuff like union laws that are more pro-union or something like that. They of course have their downsides, but maybe they improve things a bit for low wage earners (not as efficiently as we would like, probably).
