I think we need to take Money from those who have done the polluting, to their private financial gain, at the expensive of the public of our planet, since a certain timeframe-- such as 1950.

Those who have made decisions leading to massive pollution expulsion while they profited... those are the ones who should pay first.

People such as:

- The Koch brothers

- The Military and the politicians, bureaucrats, and Weapons company executives associated with bases & machines that have spilled the most pollutants

- Executives of Fossil Fuel companies

See, it's like we're playing this game where... a window was open and these executives were able to loot the house and escape. And now they are trying to close that window and run off with their loot.

Nope, bring them back. Hold them accountable. Take the assets they (their family, their estate) earned while polluting our planet.

Do that, before looking at the little guy and saying "Pay your fair share!"

Because my question is "What about those evil sociopathic polluting fat cats who not only got away, but lobbied and legislated to allow their escape"
