vote for how governments spend - how they collect the revenue for that spending is moot.
if anything - these consumption taxes are a bit more fair. rich guys gotta buy gas too. it's basically the same as increasing GST on certain items.
but say the word "carbon" and everybody loses their minds.

Truth which is why when it comes to any sort of tax I don't even bother because the GOV is going to get that money from you one way or another. Even when the GOV does something seemingly nice i.e. remove tolls from the Port Mann you best know they'll just recoup that somewhere else. Call it whatever you want they're getting their money.
