The carbon tax is the least-worst vehicle for changing our decisions while still blunting its own effect on the people with the least choice -- the poorest of us. By the math, most of us simply don't make enough to actually feel the effects of carbon tax.

Keep that in mind as people who do make enough to feel the effects want you to vote in order that they don't.

The idea that our 'trickle-down' opposition is against any vehicle that will force their leadership to pay their due and support other people - gasp - even if it's a well-proved cost-saving measure through consolidation, a reverse monopoly and the smoothing of expenses for the rest of us; well, that's just their m-o for decades. "Fiscal responsibility" boils down to "fuck the poors and tell them it's for their own good"
