Here is a Dittie on Our Carbon Tax a Client Just emailed Me..I just had to Share it with You All
Carbon Tax
The author of this, John Coates, lives in Nova Scotia. He would be even more disgusted if he lived in BC where they already have a Carbon Tax.
The Liberals Carbon Tax
Politicians have, in the past, used that old phrase of 'cutting taxes' to get you to vote for them.
Now Stephan Dion has come up with a new wrinkle on that old lie:
· Tax your heating oil and anything else you burn to move your food and everything else that you have always had in your life... but, he'll lower your income taxes.
CONSIDER THIS from one person who has bothered to do the homework:
When a politician's lips move, I know he's probably lying. Mr. Dion says his carbon tax will be revenue neutral. So, I went online and found a carbon calculator and keyed in the annual energy consumption for our household and learned we produce 17 tons of greenhouse gas. Fully 60% of this usage is for electricity which we use to heat our home.
I have already improved insulation in my walls and replaced my windows and doors; use the new 'twirley' lights and ensured that my appliances are all Energy Star products. In the past 20 years, these measures reduced my electricity usage from 24,000 Kw Hrs per year to 16,000 Kw Hrs per year last year.
What is my reward for this improved efficiency?
· My power bill is unchanged from what it was 20 years ago.
· But, my power bill would attract a carbon tax of $104 in year one of Mr. Dion's plan
· and $ 416 in year four.
· My power bill would rise from $166 per month to $210 per month in year four.
Since I live on a fixed income consisting of CPP and Old Age Security, my income tax bill runs at less than $200 per year. So, for my household, Mr. Dion's 'revenue neutral' carbon tax will cost me $416 per year less income tax reductions of about $10 per year.
Revenue neutral? In a pig's eye! This is a tax on seniors living on fixed incomes.
Well, Mr. Dion, you haven't got a snowball's chance in **** of ever getting my vote. I hope everyone else takes five minutes to run the same calculations I did and vote to send this joker to the political boneyard.

Factual data substantiating this:
· 16.96 tons
· 60% of this is for electricity or 10.4 tons/year
· @ $10/ton in year 1 = $104 or $9/mo
· @ $20/ton in year 2 = $208 or $18/mo
· @ $30/ton in year 3 = $312 or $27/mo
· @ $40/ton in year 4 = $416 or $40/mo
· Income tax paid is $110/yr.

At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.

The Tax Poem
Tax his land, Tax his bed,
Tax the table, At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes, Are the rule.
Tax his work, Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts, Anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat,
Tax his pants, Tax his coat.
Tax his ties, Tax his shirt,
Tax his work, Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars, Tax his beers,
If he cries, Tax his tears.
Tax his car, Tax his gas,
Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, Then let him know,
That you won't be done, Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, then tax him more,
Tax him till he's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he's laid.
Put these words, Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom...'
When he's gone, Do not relax,
Its time to apply.....

· our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
· We had absolutely no national debt,
· had a large middle class,
· and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
