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.

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.

That sounds like a good idea but the enormous cost in trying to comply with this tax is staggering to businesses. All round this tax is a fail along with the mining tax.

LL as much as I love reading your replies and look forward to them eagerly every day, my day is just not the same if I miss any,  just a teeny weeny complaint, it's just the name calling,  it may turn some off.

This is not interpersonal or hostile as I do love reading LL's reposte's.

but they aren't names, they are descriptive terms

Oh I do humbly beg your pardon, silly me. Lying weasel little worm is not name calling at all.

So if I applied that same moniker to some on here then that would be quite acceptable.

Thanks for the tip LL I'll be sure to use these descriptives liberally in the future if you don't mind me borrowing them.

[lakeland27]

well you wouldn't be the first. and no,  i don't mind .

That's a really good idea, silver, so I've borrowed some of your words. Thanks 🙂

They're obviously ok because they're still on this forum,...not sure it is approrpriate to call for the "knifing" of a prime minister so I'll avoid that one.

Politicians and others who deny climate change add to the choking miasma of corrupt infection on society and they will be exposed for the morally, ethically, hate filled frauds without core values or tenets. All the while ignoring the scientific proof while trying to protect the criminal behaviours of the big polluters, uttering their weasel words ... not a pretty sight.

Wow and that was just from three old posts.

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 martian atmosphere is good to live in because of the wormholes near there. This neutralizes the air.

just spilled my coffee, very hilarious, just what is needed after reading some of the utter rubbish on CS, thanks JMK.

Thank you Jmk, you are more than welcome to plagiarise my words if your education or vocabulary is severely limited as your post shows.

Please let me offer you some tips I have become aware of from some posters on here.

Rather than frantically trolling back and copying  my posts and my words on here it would be much easier if you  took screen shots of my posts for quick reference when your own grasp of the beauty of the English language fails you.

So I am flattered jmk, you are more than welcome
