The carbon you exhale is NOTHING compared to that of even a Prius. You break up carbon chains to propel, keep warm, and to keep stuff working. Your body is not breaking large carbon chains to push a ton or 2 car or truck. Or running an old factory.
Tho I 100 percent agree that taxing the rich to give directly to poor is FAIL. It is MUCH better spent on encouraging technology dev so that the poor actually have a chance.
