Carbon Tax - This is how it works

[ufo_investigations]

This is how it works

From midnight when you're in bed, your heating system is slugging you with a carbon tax.

When you get out of bed and turn on the light, you will be slugged the carbon tax.

When you shuffle into the shower, your gas hot water will be slugged by the carbon tax.

When you get out of the shower and dry your hair with the hair dryer, you will be slugged with the carbon tax.

When you turn on the kettle for a cup of coffee, you will be hit by the carbon tax.

If you like a sugar with your coffee, that's bad luck, Mackay Sugar is a big polluter.

If you have milk with your coffee, bad luck again, dairy companies are listed as big polluters.

And when you take the milk out of the refrigerator - you pay twice, for the electricity and the refrigerant.

If you enjoy a bit of Vegemite on your toast, that's bad luck again, Kraft is a big polluter.

When you cook the toast in the toaster, you pay the carbon tax on the electricity.

If you decide instead to have cereal, remember you are paying carbon tax on the milk and the electricity to heat up the milk in the microwave.

So when you've finished breakfast what's next? If you are planning to spend Sunday cleaning up the backyard and taking a load of rubbish to the tip, then once more you will be digging into your pocket to pay increased dump fees due to the carbon tax.

A trip to a shopping centre will also cost you. The major retailers have included a carbon tax clause into their leasing contracts so the cost is passed through. The shoe store, the hairdresser or the cafe will be paying more and so will you. The alternative is that they will have to cut costs elsewhere and that will mean staff.

Fed up by all of this and want to escape on a holiday? Well you will also pay on your airline ticket with Qantas estimating the cost of the carbon tax will be over $100 million. And forget taking to the water rather than the sky, the Spirit of Tasmania has also added a carbon tax levy to its tickets.

In the same way Julia Gillard said "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead", she has also claimed it is just the big polluters who will pay. The first statement we now know was dishonest, and the second has repeated that behaviour. Every Australian will pay the carbon tax every day. And that is why the bill adds up to $36 billion over four years.

WHAT A RIP OFF!

Why we need a carbon tax, by the Coalition's environment spokesman

In 1990 Greg Hunt co-authored a university thesis entitled A Tax to Make the Polluter Pay.

His conclusion:

"Ultimately it is by harnessing the natural economic forces which drive society that the pollution tax offers us an opportunity to exert greater control over our environment."

If he did co-author that in 1990 he was a uni student still learning the ropes, with age he obviously has greater wisdom now 🙂

Many scientists in America are resigning from the great "Global Warming" religion. Many are now distancing themselves from the IPPC model knowing it was manipulated and fraudulent. Careers  are lying in the ruins of the "Global Warming" hysteria.

An American Nobel Prize laureate has resigned from his position and now exposes the hysterical warmongering it is.

As for Gillard saying only 500 companies would pay the tax, she has no credibility, she's shown for the liar she was and is and always will be. The liar that saw her betray the trust of voters to gain office, in the end it destroyed her and she deserved to be.

Rudd dropped it at her behest then she destroyed him and then he "ABOLISHED THE CARBON TAX" in his madness  to regain his lost power, another lie.

As for the other spurious hypothesis about driving companies towards a "CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE" well the ordinary worker paid the price for that other big lie, BIG time.

The billions in subsidies (paid for by us) to these rent seekers, to no good end, saw that for the lie it was also. 

Long before the labor  carpetbaggers hawked the only thing they could see in their whole "movement"  to unseat Howard the murmurings of  caution were being heard from the scientific few who were worried that so called IPCC model was deeply flawed if not fraudulent.

Labor has so fouled the debate on this that millions of Australians will never believe a word they say for generations.

Exactly what does amide hydrolysis under acidic conditions have to do with the characteristics of the Martian atmosphere UFO?

SF, that list is almost as good as a "caturday post". I think this one is wonderful:

"An American Nobel Prize laureate has resigned from his position and now exposes the hysterical warmongering it is."

Warmongering????.  Oh, and the 85 year old  laureate you refer to,  Ivar Giaever "resigned" ( booted)  from the American Physical Society over its official position  which was recognition of global warming,  especially after Glaever announced "What does it mean that the temperature has gone up 0.8 degrees? Probably nothing."

No more warmongering,  and  instead a caturday type image:

The carbon tax framework is in place and may be difficult to remove.

Why not reduce the tax to almost zero. This legislation certainly must allow

for a future increase or decrease.

When the world's greatest polluters have their own schemes in place we

can adjust our tax accordingly.

Well,personally,I'm not worse off financially since it was introduced.

Learning the ropes?   That's not what a doctorate entails.  That's what one does in kindergarten.

"Greater wisdom"  =  greater $$$
