Secondly, the Australian Carbon Tax is a freakishly large sacrificial offering: Australians will be hit for $391 for every man, woman and child, and that?s just the first year (according to the government estimates). Compare this to the EU. There in the land-of-exploding-economies, each good citizen has had to fork out the vast grand sum of (wait for it) ? one dollar fifty cents each (yes, $1.50). And, it gets worse, (how do you satirize this?) ? that?s the cumulative total since the EU started trading in 2005.
It?s not like we want to copy EU economic policies in the first place, but why take something that doesn?t work, and outdo it by 3000%? Hello to the new global patsies!"
