Excuse you? You answered a few other posts since mine. #victimcard noted

That wasn't the point you started on. Your point was to tax the producer. That you can't name one tax that doesn't involve a credit or exception is also noted. So the average joe is the polluter, in your mind, and not the ebil corporations?

The conversation moves on. Some posts get left behind.
Of course the consumer is the polluter. Who else could it be?
As for credits or exceptions, fuck that. The polluter pays, no exceptions.
Tax the producers, they reduce emissions to outcompete or they pass it on and perish.
Want to avoid carbon tax? Reduce your consumption.
I lived off about £5k last year. Jobs are jails.

This is what we are dealing with here. Not a serious person. What this guy makes in a year barely pays my rent for 6 months. I spend more on that for my son's preschool.

I can guarantee you we pay more on preschool than he makes in a year.

That is what expectations of the state taking care of you does to a person.

I have not taken a penny in welfare.
I just don't spend much.
I pay no rent and keep below the income tax threshold.
I don't eat expensive food like meat and never buy take outs.
I drink very little alcohol and rarely buy hash any more.
I don't fly off on holidays. I didn't buy a single electronic device all year.
My biggest expense was insuring three vehicles.
I pay very little into a healthcare system.

It's simple really, I don't spend much so I don't need to earn much.
By not being much of a consumer I contribute as little as possible to greenhouse gases.

So you live in your mother’s basement. Good to know.

How do you not know by now that he lives in his van? That has to take some kind of pathological disinterest.

Is that 5K after all fixed expenses (not rent, obviously, but things like insurance, etc.) are paid? Or before? Anyway, good for you that you can live that way. I presume you do understand why everyone can't live the same way you do.

..or he just based his view of Monte on how he's been portrayed over the years in the forum(s) by some of the other posters. Imagine if your only source to what sort of guy Monte is, was people like clubby...

No, I just call bullshit when I see it.

Happens a lot around here. A lie repeated often enough, and such.

Yes, I paid off a couple of thousand pounds from a family loan as well.
I haven't worked out exactly what I earned last year but it was probably around 10k in total. Nor have I worked out how many days I actually worked but it was probably fewer than 30.
Obviously not everybody can live off what I earn without completely changing their lifestyles but that's not the point I was trying to make.
The point is that we can all make some adjustments to our lifestyles without having a serious drop in living standards. I managed two trips to my house in France last year without having to get on a plane probably using less fuel than the average person would have used to commute during the 6 or 7 weeks I was there.
You don't have to live in a cave as a hunter-gatherer to make a difference.

I've posted pictures of my truck and the farm I live on.
It says a lot more about you than it does about me when you choose to call me a liar.
Next, you will be saying that I've never built a trebuchet and don't know how to juggle.
