Current government imposes carbon tax. This acts as a commodity tax, so it hits the lower income group harder.

I get screwed.

A bunch of squits with nasty haircuts become carbon credit brokers and get filthy rich.

I get screwed.

New government of right-wing loonies is elected. They decide to “reduce the tax burden” - on the filthy rich, of course. The carbon tax stays.

I get screwed.

They also deregulate the carbon credit market. The squits get richer still. Then they mess it up, the bottom drops out, and we get yet another financial crisis. The squits demand, yet again, that the taxpayer rescue them.

I get screwed.

Not a lot of joy in it for me.
