    Dr Ken is claiming his SUPER TAX won't push up prices:

    Is this guy for real or what?

    A tax on carbon pushes up the price of electricity. A tax on ciggies and alcohol pushes up their respective prices. A GST increases the prices of all goods.

    But now this economic genius is saying prices won't increase? He thinks shareholders are going to roll-over and accept reduced returns on their capital instead of increasing prices?

    How stupid does this man think we are? He lives in economic lala land.
