  • A carbon tax will simply be passed on to the consumers. If the liberals care about the poor and middle class, they'll throw this policy in a ditch and piss on it.

  • yeah just give the government more of your money so they can waste it on crap and not help anything

  • Oh, CATO. Right. Figures.

  • @TheAtheistPaladin what???????????? INSANITY! Wait till Pelosi finds out! Then you'll be sorry XD

  • Could you explain in what way the carbon tax targets the rich more than the poor?

    If anything, the amount of driving is probably going to be equal for both parties, so the tax will fall equally on petrol consumption. Beyond that, the tax will hit businesses, which will transfer some costs to rich and poor alike. If I had to guess, it's about equal for rich/poor or slightly worse for poor (they're more likely to buy cheap goods for which transport is a bigger part of the cost) on the whole.

  • @Elithrion:

    The class this tax unfairly targets (like the majority of taxes do) is the rich. The rich have the most money, so they are always the ones who will be targeted by new taxes. And as long as governments are allowed to keep expanding their spending in the name of the public good, governments will keep coming up with new excuses to rob the most successful and productive citizens.

  • oh those environmentalists....up to their old tricks again

  • indeed

  • You don't have to deny global warming to say this tax is an bad idea.
