For so many times the prime minister and the greens who constantly been lying to all of us including those who voted for them since the election and one of those lies are “there will never be a carbon tax under the government I lead” – Julia Gillard.
This fixed price scheme on carbon will be in placed between three to five years and then to move into a market based pricing.
She couldn’t be any clearer by the day as the carbon tax is designed to lower your living standards, since she announced the tax at a media press conference. “If you put a price on carbon on something people will use less of it, as it is free at the moment to permit carbon pollution. If we put a price on carbon pollution and people will find ways to admit less of it and they don’t want to pay the price”
Well that means paying more for food, electricity and petrol. Small to medium businesses will closed or scale down their operations, more unemployment, working less hours and less personal savings.
While Greg Combet was promoting the tax, he also refuses to acknowledged that a price of carbon is a tax like it never exists. “Its a tax isn’t it?” the reporter asked. “This is a carbon price thorough a market mechanism with the first three years of the market mechanism at least between three and five years being a fixed price in effect that will operate like a tax carbon but the clear intend is to move into emission trading as quickly it can.” Bad PR or spin I must say.
Second last, I leave you a comment with the governments backbench member, Rob Oakshott sounds like a clueless twit. “I certainly support the release of this document, if I been asked to vote for it then I would”. Like he will vote for the tax that he never reads it.
But anyway what I want to leave for you is a quote from one of my favorite economist of the 20th century.
“Those politicians, professors and union bosses who curse big business are fighting for a lower standard of living.” – Ludwig Von Mises, Theory and History of AntiTrust Laws, 1950.
