Just wait until people start adding up the cost increases to gas, and heating and electricity and other utilities, On top of that food pricing will go up because transportation costs are going to go up.
And its going to general revenue.
People are going to get squeezed and its going to be at the worst possible time.
Oh sure we're going to get rebates to the lower and middle classes, but chances are that its not going to come close to making up for the increases that are going to happen.
Its like getting the quarterly GST rebates for $64.00 when it first came out.
When the government grabs your wallet from you're left side and generally rapes it, then throws you a couple of bucks for the inconvenience its not making up for the loss of dollars.
As batshyte crazy as O'Leary is, he's right, this tax needs to be treated like a mutual fund. The government needs to release audited reports on how much was bought in on the tax and exactly what was it spent on. Separate it out and make it a true investment fund.
But if it goes into the general day to day operating fund, that money will be entirely pissed away.
