It will include a host of tax measures - from refundable tax credits to tax incentives and direct tax cuts - that will be skewed heavily in favour of lower- and middle-income Canadians.<BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Insiders say Dion and his inner circle have agonized over details, trying to ensure that no one is unfairly penalized by the carbon tax. Various measures have been built in to protect those who can't afford or can't access alternative energy sources, such as poor, elderly and rural Canadians, or those whose livelihoods are dependent on fossil fuels, such as truck drivers.</I><BR/><BR/>I don't think Garth Turner's comments in that article (every taxpayer being better off) is right unless you interpret this in some broad sense beyond economic considerations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-38292662611433199702008-06-15T01:13:00.000-04:002008-06-15T01:13:00.000-04:00"The retooling of the tax system to accommodate th..."The retooling of the tax system to accommodate those hard-hit Canadians while encouraging waste reduction is the goal of a well-planned tax shift."<BR/><BR/>That's the key for sure, not only to selling the plan but to make it workable. I was talking to a buddy today about how people won't cut energy use to a degree that will make a difference globally unless they face personal reasons to do so, mainly economic reasons. That behaviour change then affects markets which affects production and R&D. We could have made more efficient cars years ago, and there were some around but they weren't popular. Not until gas prices forced many to move away from larger vehicles due to gas prices. So, people buy smaller cars, plants close down but new ones will come up producing alternate transportation vehicles...<BR/><BR/>It's too bad that we repeatedly have to hit crisis mode before making changes and that they changes aren't well planned but more a reaction to very bad situations, but that's the reality, and why, as much as I don't want to be hit with higher costs for fuel, that's what will force change.<BR/><BR/>As you say, though jimbobby, those who already can't afford it shouldn't be hit anywhere near as hard. Their situations will become even more desperate, and since they aren't the ones producing the most in emissions, taxing them won't help reduce greenhouse gases.900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-3324418176551919442008-06-14T22:10:00.000-04:002008-06-14T22:10:00.000-04:00Regarding the "$1000" statement: I think the point...Regarding the "$1000" statement: I think the point is that if the AVERAGE person spends $1000 extra then the AVERAGE person can get $1000 in tax back. This is very different from saying that a particular person gets back what they pay on a carbon tax. As you would expect, the Liberal carbon tax will be structured to incent people to reduce fossil fuel consumption.tedhsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762609953990464067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-23253761165053966212008-06-13T14:08:00.000-04:002008-06-13T14:08:00.000-04:00RosieGal, without a corresponding safety net for t...RosieGal, without a corresponding safety net for the poor, a carbon tax would devastate low income earners who pay little or no tax. The Green Party plan makes serious accommodation for these low income Canadians in the anti-poverty policies that go alongside the tax-shift policies.<BR/><BR/>Even under today's income tax and property tax rules, many people get "refunds" in excess of any taxes they actually paid. These sorts of tax credits will need to be increased as the income taxes are decreased to benefit all.<BR/><BR/>I used examples of middle income earners but we could use examples of poor people, too, and show how their bottom line is affected by the tax-shift. <BR/><BR/>Regardless of whether energy is taxed with a carbon tax or not, the cost of gas is going up and that's hitting poor people disproportionately already. The retooling of the tax system to accommodate those hard-hit Canadians while encouraging waste reduction is the goal of a well-planned tax shift. <BR/><BR/>When Dion finally gets around to divulging details, he should have a lot of examples of what it will mean for various categories of Canadians. i.e. What it means to the 905 family of 4 with 2 cars and a 45 minute commute; what it means to rural and small town retirees; single moms in the city; East Coasters, West Coasters, etc. He's got to have enough examples so that we can see what it will mean to family and individual bottomlines.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-48613187140698389202008-06-13T11:36:00.000-04:002008-06-13T11:36:00.000-04:00I'm concerned that the consumer price index is goi...I'm concerned that the consumer price index is going to skyrocket so those already not paying a lot of taxes will be further in the poorhouse. We have to make alternatives more accessible and widespread before this carbon tax idea is even going to remotely work. I am a big fan of the carbon tax, but I just don't believe that we can trust oil companies and stock market dudes not to jack the prices for their own greedy purposes.. Lets make them obsolete first, then jack the taxes.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853018112781890012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-68770330697818262172008-06-13T10:52:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:52:00.000-04:00BCL, if that's what he's saying, I don't think he ...BCL, if that's what he's saying, I don't think he understands the concept of a carbon tax or a tax shift. If you can find a source for a quote, I'd be extremely interested. A carbon tax that exempts gasoline and delivers dollar-for-dollar neutrality is a recipe for failure in effective carbon reduction.<BR/><BR/>We simply need details and Dion's had plenty of time to assess the pre-emptive arguments against and ensure the plan addresses knee-jerk objections. Now, he needs to release details and start selling.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753536.post-58584302702233279862008-06-13T10:01:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:01:00.000-04:00"I'm about 80% sure that the "If $1,000 in then $1..."I'm about 80% sure that the "If $1,000 in then $1,000" out formulation is from a speech Dion gave, or a clumn he wrote.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.com
