Isn't it unfair that the producers of over 50% of the global emissions completely discredit the Quito protocol,
I say that such tax is either a joke (if it based on that protocol) or it is just one more tax on "luxury" (which I'm against has a general idea since it puts a stop on a certain aspect of the drive of the economy that I take into deep regard)
USA is one of the richest countries of the world because the rich people that live there believe that their wealth is safe in that country, unlike many examples of 3rd world countries where the rich people take the money out to more safe locations making their countries in which they live less prosperous.
And another aspect, although the Queen of England isn't need for anything practical this days (compared with the past has no ruling powers) it still server a purpose which is to make people see that their situation can be improved and to set them goals for higher achievements. (That doesn't mean that I don't believe that taxation on certain luxuries isn't fair nor that taxation on property exchange isn't correct)
