Methane only lasts 10 to 20 years in the atmosphere, a much shorter time than CO2, so it's correspondingly less worth worrying about if we're taking the long-term view.
The tax revenues don't necessarily need to be spent on climate change remediation; we may have other social priorities that are even more pressing. As long as the money is available for our collective betterment, it's up to us to make sure that we have governments that will spend it appropriately.
