This rise of China and India, and their growing energy and resource usage, are costing me ten time more than the Carbon Tax ever will
Really? Have you factored the the inflationary multiplier effect of the carbon tax on your numbers there?
You then add GST to that.
Remember that GST is a once off point of sale tax, the carbon tax multiplies throughout the economy. ALL inputs into a product are tax, including the retail costs. Carbon Tax also is not controlled by the government. Once it all gets up and running credits will be traded in a controlled market and you are then at the whim of the world bankers.
Watch the CPI go through the roof, business go offshore, and your purchasing power destroyed.
