Default Re: Carbon Tax.Its a BIG Con!!!

TO some of those above ....... Just some really basic questions that dont seem to be answered so us normal tax payers can understand ....

1. If a tax is put on carbon 'manufacturers' ... and the 'manufacturers' pass on that extra cost to the 'consumer' ..... and the 'consumer' is reimbursed 'something' by the g'ment ..... who is the one that is going to change their 'carbon' habit enough to make a difference?

2. Of the extra money made by the new tax ...... how much just goes straight into general revenue and wasted?

3. Why are so many people saying 'yes' to a carbon tax blindly without knowing the amount of tax, the extent of rebates and to who those rebates are going to.

4. What effect is this going to be in real terms .... not fluffy images of white clouds, wind towers & solar panels but how is it going to make my world better in real terms .... stopping global warming, climate change isn't an answer as we are not that clever?

5. When the Carbon level is zero and everyone is dead ..... is this when the tax is lifted or is it permanent .... when we are driving cars powered by coconuts or which one comes first?

6. In other words ..... what is the point?

Heres your chance to convince the moronic disbelievers that are stupid and ignorant on the subject including myself
