Carbon Tax

While the idea of a tax on Carbon is a useful one in the fight to cut emissions and fight global warming, it is a total anachronism unless it is directed at the source of the pollution, big business. The current Carbon Tax tabled by the federal parliament is nothing but a sham. It is an attempt by the capitalist class to be seen to be making an effort to reverse global warming, whilst in reality it is all a facade. The bourgeoisie are blatantly slapping a tax on the working class in an attempt to be able to continue riding roughshod over the future of our planet and its people. The working people mustn't accept this. We must demand a Carbon Tax, but not the sham that has currently been put in front of us. We must demand that the capitalists pay to clean up the grave mess that they have created.
