But since there won't be a separate line item at the grocery store for Carbon Tax of course she's and her politburo are going to blame it on those evil corporations and their gouging.
If an average family spends $100.00 a week on groceries and there's a 4% boost or $5.00 per week or $20.00 a month that's $240.00 per year just for groceries, and I'm betting with the global impact of a carbon tax it will probably more like 10% per week or $480.00 a year. And that's just groceries.
If a family spends lets say spends $500.00 a month a various things for their family outside of food (trips out etc) and the increased cost to them is 5 to 10% because of this tax lets add another $300 to $600 in cost increases on top of the groceries and then you take on the utilities increases and gas for fueling your car.
Then on top of that because the city isn't rebated all of your kids activity costs goes up and your property taxes go up.
Its not going to take long to see an additional $1000 or more leaving your families pocket which means you'd better pray for a $2000.00 or more raise this year in your income.
Good luck to the people that have lost their jobs already and are on benefits or the seniors on a fixed pension. But frack em right? Let em eat dog food.
