I feel like if there was a carbon tax that was directly putting extra money in everyone's bank account on a regular basis, and it actually got to the point where that was happening, at that stage nobody would fail to understand the math.
Just recently happened in Canada. Never underestimate the stupidity of average voters and the power of propaganda.
They were actually paying out to everyone revenue from carbon taxes, and people really still voted to get rid of them?
People would get a set amount as their carbon rebate for the year, i think based on your previous years tax info im not 100% sure but most canadians came out making more from the rebate than they paid. The conservatives pitched the tax as anti freedom and adhering to woke climate change. Canada’s new pm Carney decided to get rid of the consumer carbon tax because he decided it was dividing canadians too much. I think an industrial carbon tax still exists.
