Carbon Tax – the amazing, modern fiscal miracle!
We are told that the carbon tax will be “revenue neutral”.
Big deal. So was the budget in Soviet Russia – they took 100 per cent of your income and spent it all.
But carbon tax collectors look like spending far more than their income.
Those magicians in Canberra are going to reimburse all “low income” people for the effect of their carbon tax on the cost for electricity and food.
And also reduce the petrol excise. And exempt export industries.
And pay our share of the UN Cancun Climate giveaway of $100 billion per year.
And give subsidies and tax breaks to Green Energy.
And purchase carbon credits.
And provide $800 million per year to the Climate Research Industry.
And pay $5.6 million annually to feed the Tom Foolery Climate Commission.
And pay the bills for the quarterly IPCC Climate Junkets to the best international resorts.
And bribe farmers with soil carbon mirages.
And pay to set up the Garnaut “Carbon Bank”.
And pay for Garnaut’s Independent Carbon Regulator.
And fund the Henry reforms of tax and social security.
We have a modern fiscal miracle – “Carbon Tax – the Magic Horn of Plenty that never runs dry”.

Well – it has been said that there is a sucker born every minute. The rise of profiteering by selling the ephemeral to the gullible would not have come into existence, were it not for the unholy alliance of environmentalism, politics and social control. The entire push for green energy and carbon control only exists because a sufficient number of people with political and financial power came to see these issues as furthering their cause and/or interests. The world needs to wake up and see these profiteers … praying on the foolish in the name of saving the planet from the imaginary threat of Anthropomorphic Global Warming. Climate Change is natural, inevitable and real – AGW is not!
the greens, labor and their mates, including the public service planners, need this tax to keep control over private enterprise, who don’t want any more taxation and who can read through this rubbish.
That picture of a pile of coal should be a picture of a big stinking pile of manure because thats what this carbon tax really is
The magic pudding made into ALP policy!
