Recently there's been a lot of attention focused on the inequities in our taxation system that allow some of America's wealthiest to pay very little in taxes. Energy costs are another area that can raise similar concerns because poor households sometimes pay more for energy - certainly as a percentage of their income but also even on a per-unit basis - than higher-income consumers. The Biden administration can take a small but important step to address this problem by establishing a task force to identify where this happens and what can be done about it.
