This is what everybody does...
Both Cons and Libs max self-interest equally.
But Cons say it's a Good Thing on the whole...
Libs just lie about not doing it...
Libs are Elitists = above being soiled by Human Nature.
So entire OP is based upon a Liberal False Premise.
Look no further than Progressive Poster Boy Al Gore...
He "cares" about the planet and obsesses about "climate"...
But his personal Carbon Footprint is 1,000 times yours...
Probably closer to 10,000 times yours.
And Al has turned his "caring" into $200,000,000 net worth...
All that money fraudulently drained from the Middle Class...
Via slick propaganda, scare tactics, and govt connections...
And an attempted monopoly via the Chicago Climate Exchange.

It's Russian Oligarchy 101...
You control something common and necessary...
Then let your friends license and tax it.
If Al Gore weaseled a 1% tax on all the sugar consumed in USA...
The Dem Power Structures and Media Ellte would not say a word.
