Why is it that so many environmentalists support the notion that a carbon tax is a good and even necessary thing? All taxes are borne disproportionatly by the middle and -middle classes simply because they can not escape them. Governments have to do this because tax loads placed on individuals or corporations with foreign investment or foreign mobility options can simply relocate themselves or their capital to another country state or province. Political influence by such further seals that deal. It is a sad fact of life that those with the fewest financial resources will bear the cost of this and virtually every other tax as it is passed along in the form of price increases on goods even if a tax does manage to be implemented on a provider of the now taxable good or service. Why is it that so many on the left still believe that taxes will somehow be borne by those who can "afford" it.
