>I propose a tax on science fiction novels, to level the playing field in the same fashion that carbon taxes are designed to punish those who use more resources than their fair share.
>Call it the “Bergeron Tax.”
>Those authors writing for any mainstream international science fiction publishers have obviously been profiting from this industry-wide discrimination, so the structure of the Bergeron Tax should be arranged like this:
>For each novel the author has previously published (with one of the big mainstream publishers), add 10% to the cost of the book.
>Add on 5% for each Hugo or Nebula award the author has already won.

>If the author is male, add another 10%.
>Finally, if the author has a beard, add on an additional 5%.
