there is no such thing as taxing business or polluters you will always just be taxing people, as lol smith said, no such thing as a free lunch

Ok..... so either you don't understand that the concept of a "free lunch" in this context doesn't literally mean that OR you're losing the argument so you're replying with an irrelevant statement….

Re: Labor fights back on carbon pricing

Taxes in this country, whether we like to admit it or not, have risen steadily since the Australian people have started paying them. Soooooo I guess what my question is, when are they going to stop rising? 50%? 60? 80? or will we be in a situation one day, where we pay 100% tax and we will buy our food with vouchers or will it is simply rationed to us?

Giving women the vote made taxes go up in America. We gave it to them in 1902 so we never stood a chance. In fact, are there any cases of taxes going down and government getting smaller over time in any western style democracy? My personal theory is that democratic capitalism always devolves into big government corporatism over time.

its so true were so fucked ((( and i mean what happens once it essentially becomes socialism or fascism, both leading resulting in essentially the same thing, when we the people get sick and tired of it and have a revolution, what kind of transition would we have? I mean I look at Russia its still a big government, loads of corruption and some of the worst corporatism i have ever seen. Is there little hope for humanity?
