After all a gas tax is very effective in getting people off the road. Just look at the facts, gas has risen by 350% in the last ten years and we have many more cars on the road. Logically a 2% tax is going to lead to the dramatic reduction in cars on the road that the 300% increase from market forces couldn't do.<BR/><BR/>Remember these are "revenue neutral" taxes because these taxes won't go into general revenue. I'm not sure how that makes it revenue neutral to the taxpayer. That can't think we're that stupid can they?<BR/><BR/>All levels of Canadian governments must be ecstatic. You get a whole new tax category to fill the coffers. And the media can't help but fall all over themselves promoting this new wonderful level of taxation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-66276093540042484922008-01-10T21:51:00.000-08:002008-01-10T21:51:00.000-08:00Before instituting a carbon tax, it would be usefu...Before instituting a carbon tax, it would be useful to see a study of the impact of gasoline taxes on automobile use over the past 50 years. The gasoline tax is effectively a carbon tax, so determining whether it reduced automobile usage seems like a critical test of whether a carbon tax could have the desired effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
