Would you, as a citizen of any nation, be proud of your government if it created a species protection agency?

Question

I'm thinking something like this, that every citizen is taxed like 10 bucks, and then that money is used to fund a species protection agency made up of botonists, zooloigists, biologists, marine biologists, bio-chemists, forestry majors, genetisists, ecologists and all other life scientists who would make it there mission catolouge every species, it's numbers and locations and habitats and then preserve and protect that habitat and do other work to maintane the numbers of a species and to recover the numbers of species in decline. The money would also be used for scholorships in all related fields to produce enough experts to be fully effective in keeping all species from declining or becoming extinct. I think this would be good for science, progress, the natural world, the economy, for helping to repay our collective debt to mother nature and for hopefully heading off the sixth extinction. Anyone think it's a good idea? Anyone think it's a bad one? If a good or a bad idea why?

I feel like that this isn't something that will happen outside of government, and I feel that to be fair, everyone should pitch in to pay for it. I think maybe have the poorest 1 percent pay 1 dollar, the 2 percenters pay 2 dollars and so on until it reaches the richest 1 percent 100 dollars and then it will be a fair tax burden. I think the natural world gives us so much every day the least we can do is keep it healthy in return. I think this is something every country should do.

Answer 1

Taxes! And bigger government spending it. That's the answer.

But - don't tax the poor people. So the rich will have to pay more to make up for it. If they own an SUV, charge them 4 times as much.

Yeah stick it to those rich guys.

What are we trying to save again? Who cares as long as the grant gets renewed.

Answer 2

Yes, it would be great to protect species from artificial extinction (extinction caused by man). We pay plenty of taxes for fuel to drive cars. The exhaust is causing tremendous climate change. If we put a small tax on gasoline that would fund species protection, that would be great. The consumers who are causing the damage would be paying to clean it up. Those who conserve would not pay as much.

Answer 3

Yes, the issues we're having now used to be precipitated through deregulation. Think approximately this for a moment. Would you prefer to shop for all of your meals from China... no rules, no exceptional manage? Of direction now not. The motive you would not is seeing that fundamental human greed, if a man or woman would line their wallet doing shady matters they're going to. That is the motive we have now a crook justice process. Should we do away with that? The reality is that almost all organizations have got to be watched the identical manner that men and women do else we become getting robbed.
