Least variable cost technologies win industrial revolutions. RENEWABLES NOW. Truth in politics and journalism. More carbon tax, less income tax. #TaxTheChurches
how about more carbon tax less income tax?

how about more carbon tax less income tax?
income tax load falling on less and less folks. we say we don't want wealthy vs poor but we already have wealthy vs poor?
why are we not looking at way less income tax & way more carbon tax? electorally palatable if sliding scale?
any future income tax needs to target bots? virtual or physical?

how to get the $ where we need them that is win win?
an approach that gently deflates the housing bubble while investing in growing non fossil exports?
-ve gearing & capital gains discount restricted to one property only + a superpower bond (or similar) to divert investment $ processing ore?

yeah - I don't see myself as far right but I think it would appeal there as well.
I can't see it not being an improvement given how ACT works?
happy to stand corrected if I'm missing something.

with the housing I'd love to see all foreign land ownership reverted to 99 year leases and new foreign ownership pinned at 49-year leases. seems to work in the ACT even for the citizenry?

the housing bubble needs bursting.
a good start would be to restrict negative gearing and capital gains discount to one additional property only.
investment needs to be directed towards manufacturing instead of a hosing bubble that creates homelessness

Maybe if the Nats represented farmers instead of mining, they could convince Duts?
We could use a (long gone) climate where the cold fronts line up across the bight, and the lows cross the continent instead of open ocean to deliver regular rain for winter cropping.

limiting negative gearing and capital gains discount to one property only would be a good start to diverting investment $ to manufacturing and leaving housing to house people.

agreed. processed metals remains the worst possible plan apart from all the others to maintain prosperity when our coal export sales dry up. which may be sooner than we think. industrial revolutions tend to go exponential historically... www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...
