A tax on toxic batteries and incentives to recycle? It’s like Congress remembered Earth is a thing we live on.

Throwing some tax credits and fees at this mess might actually get people to think twice before trashing batteries.

Why fix a problem with incentives when you can just let the free market sort out the battery chaos?

Who knew saving the planet could come with a 30% discount? Let’s reward innovation, not excuses.

As if a 5% tax on batteries won’t get passed down to consumers—this bill’s just a wallet zinger.

Finally, a bill that puts polluters and big battery makers on the hook instead of taxpayers! Green tech tax credits? That’s the future knocking.

More taxes and government handouts? That’s innovation’s first-class ticket to bureaucracyville.
