There has never been a politician in the Union of European Socialist Republics that has not sought to raise taxes on the neediest – a new tax is on the way is called “carbon credit"

Coming to a Maoist/Marxist Cult of (Green) Moloch near you – carbon credits.

Sounds innocuous right? All about saving mother earth from the rape, pillage and plunder of evil capitalists killing us all with their dirty, polluting ways.

From here:

Dutch economist let the cat out of the bag about “carbon emission rights” – The Expose (expose-news.com)

“In August 2022, Dutch economist Barbara Baarsma appeared on BNR Newsradio to explain her plan for the carbon dioxide wallet.  In doing so, Baarsma, who was CEO of Rabo Carbon Bank until February 2023, revealed a lot of their plans regarding the carbon emissions scam.

She highlighted that climate change is a problem but the current climate change plans of the Dutch cabinet will not make a difference. That is why, in her view, there should be a price tag for greenhouse gas emissions. Rabo Carbon Bank had recently released the first “carbon credits” sold to Dutch companies.  Now it seemed she wanted to sell a similar idea to Dutch households.”

Okay, that sets the scene.

A quick side note: Dutch Prime Minister booted himself out of office and his role as party leadership role will likely be assumed by another sycophant of the green slime party.

EU ‘Climate Pope’ Timmermans To Run for Dutch PM in November Elections ━ The European Conservative

“Following the recent merger of the left-wing Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) and the Greens (GL), European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans has announced he will be stepping down from his role as the EU’s climate change and environment policy chief in a bid to lead the newly merged parties in the next national election. “

Okay, back to the new tax.

Europeans already pay some of the highest taxes in the world, based on the highly regressive Value Added Tax that disproportionately impacts the poor, relative to the rich. Transactions are taxed at around a fifth to a quarter of their value, with the final buyer paying the “rolled up” levy.

The tax burden in Europe goes all the way up to 50% of GDP activity in France and Denmark. Note this is a measure of tax burden on activity, not income. A European digs a hole, half of the “activity” is taxed – the worker may pay 25% tax on wages, then by the time the worker has paid VAT on everything the worker has left over and health insurance, local taxes etc, the worker has nothing left.

The rich capitalists keep far more of their earnings and profits relative to the poor.

So here comes the carbon credit. Quite the wheeze.

The plan is that everyone gets a ration of carbon dioxide (not carbon the element - C, carbon dioxide, the gas – CO2). The theory is that the rich emit more CO2 than the poorm so they are more responsible for emissions. Already on shaky ground with that one – the rich are more likely to use renewables than the poor – because they can afford solar power (which is a behaviour that escapes all the pollution it causes during manufacture of panels).

So the theory is, the poor can sell the “carbon” they don’t use, to the rich who use more.

Colour me cynical, bit this is simply a green tax – an intended transfer of wealth from the rich to tht poor.

But herein lies the rub. The poor want money. The poor will cut back on energy usage to sell to the rich. The equation for the poor becomes “what can I buy with the money I save from consuming less energy?”

The sort of question that the green slime party loves – lower energy consumption. By the large population majority of the poor.

Of course, in winter, energy is needed to stay alive – especially amongst the elederly.

What’s the betting that once a “ration book” of energy is established, the price of energy is increasd because of the massively more expensive “renewables” energy production costs. Don’t forget, as hydrocarbon fuel sources are shut down, the tide goes out to show all those naked swimmers who have been massively subsidized by hydrocarbon energy production.

As the full, unsubsidized cost of renewables becomes apparent, the value of carbon credits must go up.

INFLATION across the economy rises and stays stubbornly high. INFLATION is a very nasty form of tax for the poor. The choice will increasingly become “heat or eat”.

Lastly, the push back on the mentally challenged eco-warriors blocking roads in the UK is increasing.

Pretty tame and polite, but a healthy sign.

The anti-protestors might be better placed “mega-phoning” some facts and passing out the correct scientific evidence of climate fraud, using this as a sarting point – even before pointing out that Asia, India and China are responsible for two thirds of CO2 emissions and are not slowing down.
