Reframe "Carbon Taxes" as a "Carbon Dividends" and you might be able to change the psychology of the populace. The recently failed bi-partisan Carbon Tax bill attempted to do just that by establishing a revenue neutral carbon tax where the proceeds were distributed as "dividends" directly to citizens.
But I agree, getting popular support has been very hard and will continue to be problematic.
Ars Technica writes that although this bill failed, it will help shape the debate to come.
Oh and Exxon Mobile spent $1mm to support the group lobbying for the Carbon Tax.
