I'm the Neil all the other Neils warned you about. Snark, satire, bad political takes, and even worse humour. I curse a lot. #cdnpoli #resist #LGBTQ2 ally

    The truth is, Conservatives hate the carbon tax because it is progressive and returns the revenue back to Canadians directly, not corporations. They dislike the fact that carbon taxes are not an upward wealth redistribution scheme, or a form of trickle down. #cdnpoli #CarbonTax

        Once you understand that the carbon tax is designed to take proportionally more from the wealthy than it is from those at the bottom, you start to see where all that pushback is coming from. The rich didn’t get that way subsidizing the poor and they’re not about to start now.

        An awful + disgusting perspective that regressive is better than proportional. 'The years from the end of World War II to the 1970s were ones of substantial economic growth and broadly shared prosperity. Incomes grew rapidly and at roughly the same rate up and down the income

        5. justification of entrepreneurial justification, wealth creators (i.e. corporate welfare) over national societal concepts. Steve I loathe your perspective. Q. What national industry did not get up without Fed Govt assistance? Airlines? Car production? Far less than u think.

        I think you’ve misinterpreted my opinion here as I agree with everything you’ve replied with. I’m at the bottom and I love the carbon tax. The pushback I’m referring to is from those at the top. #eattherich

        We need to talk about how carbon tax helps average Canadians. I calculated the amount of gas my family burns in a year and at .11 a litre in additional tax and the rebate, we will make over $200.00 a year in SK. A Win not a Loss!

        Guess when conservation of nature meets their anti tax ideology, greed is the winner for them. Conservation of nature only matters until they think their pocket book is threatened. Particularly annoying since fee and dividend doesn't even threaten the wealth of most of them. :/

        I suspect they hate the carbon tax because it will cost their corporate overlords money. They’ve been ordered to fight it, and they’re on a short leash. It’s a redistribution of wealth from big polluting companies to ordinary citizens, so Cons are against it.

        But in AB, we get CT rebates if your income (single person) is less than $47K or (family) less than $95K. Those rebates are $300 and $450.

        An effective carbon tax rises steadily over time and reaches an endpoint of zero revenue, at which point the mission is accomplished. Watch out for C-tax proposals that don’t ramp.
