Froth and bubble

The Carbon Tax is just trouble . Green Labors grand plan to lead the world in changing the world will go down as a fizzer . an expensive fizzer . The greatest evil is done in the name of the best intention and Australia will be saved the incredible waste and stupidity of a bureau of boiling tax bureaucrats if the Conservatives  regain power . I am not against taxes that work to limit waste - this tax only creates it

Of course it sounds good . its sounds right.  It's appeal to those who like simple solutions is completely understandable .Who in Cabinet is worth  trusting  if they can't question this messy economic meddling .
The point is that adding to costs to change behaviour  is crude and of dubious value ( see earlier posts )  How much does the price of tobacco have to rise to prevent to stop people using it?
Also when margins are poor ( say for wheat it can be $30 a tonne ) profits disappear with added costs of a small kind .
Greenpower 's focus has been on the froth of price . They have confused,  like so many on the other side ,  the difference between value and price .( Do they worship at the same market knows best church?)
But we won't charge overseas coal buyers what we charge oursleves . What bad children we are Julia .
The hypocrisy was so obvious because none on July 1st was influenced to use less fuel when they drive out the door that day !!!!
