and then sales tax, and then tolls on imported shit, and then the accumulated increases in prices due to others taxes.. at the end of the day, you pay WAY above half your life in taxes. in Europe its of course even more fucked up, where taxes are above 95% of some goods you buy

- seszett 4y agoWhat goods are you thinking about? I think even tobacco (generally the most taxed product) is under that.

- arcticbull 4y agoI'm all for more expensive gas. Oil price doesn't properly factor in externalities and it needs to be much more expensive to incentivize transition away.
- redeeman 4y agothen how about doing the sensible thing and mandating that ALL the money the externalities cost be collected, and spent on undoing it? think burning gasoline causes X shit to happen? fine, go pay for that instead of salary to some member of parliament. but no, thats not what happens, all these "green" taxes go straight to the coffins that pays for all the retarded shit the regime wants
- arcticbull 4y agoI assume by referencing MPs you're referring to Canada's carbon tax? You know that's a revenue-neutral tax right, none of it is kept by the government. It's all returned to taxpayers. Also "coffers" not coffins.
