Put a sticker with a rating on every exhaust pipe, charge for said sticker. Rate people's mouths also, big-mouths pay more tax obviously.

A sticker? Scratch n sniff?

If CO2(not carbon) is an issue use live data and bill that way. It's how I bill work for my vehicle use.

A trip from yesterday for example.

Come work for me. I'll pay you nothing but will meet your minimal needs.

Deal?
I always thought I would like to work on a farm which has international workers,
We would live as a commune,cooking together,using this excellent opportunity to step up my ethnic cooking,
This is the only reason I would do it
I could not do this for long,a couple of weeks or so,here and there
Making 10 dollars a hour does not cut it
Either would commune bathrooms,a short bucket list dream
I dream big

Yea, we need to step it up.

We tax way too little!

You are a f^cking tool MF! How about a 15% flat tax and then a voluntary excess contribution scheme so a$$hats like you can pay more if you so wish. I highly doubt you and your ilk would actually do that. You only seem to want higher taxes if you don't have to pay them.

How's the welfare life treating you these days anyway?

I'm not sure where you get your numbers from, but here is where Canada stands in terms of taxation. It's an American graph, but Canada is about 12th from the bottom.

How do US taxes compare internationally? | Tax Policy Center


Did a project on taxation in university. A household with the median income winds up spending almost 65% of every dollar on some form of taxation. That included various fees for required govt services like registrations and licenses as well as luxury taxes on liquor and tobacco etc. Admittedly that was in 1998 but tax rates have only gone up since then and when the carbon thievery gets into full swing here it's going to go up even more. Everything will increase in price by 7-25% and we of course will pay tax on the increased price due to the tax...pretty f^cked up really.

Your graph is showing only income tax.

Ethnic cooking living in a commune setting, I can't really afford to go to a Italian cooking school,don't know if I would want to,stuffy and no adventure in my mind
I recall staying at the Calgary Hostel,I remember the food and the international community,unfortunately the weekend was a hustle and bustle weekend,opportunities were lost
Oh well

Hey... third world nations need coal plants, weapons, and Swiss Bank accounts for their deposed leaders. When their economies become on par with the EU, Canada, the US, and when we stop the climate from ever changing again we can end carbon taxes.

You mean when our economies become on par with third world countries.


So now we have an ecofascism commission? No wonder the economy is sinking.

you're as stupid as a second coat of paint.

Yep. Heavy and thick and likely to run.
