> "windfall profit" tax.
whats that?
i just think that things that f*ck up the environment should be taxed more to:
1) help alleviate the damage they cause
2) help find sustainable and less harmful alternatives (i mean really jolly well find them not just offer tokens towards it like petrol stations having solar panels jeez how noble of them)in NZ fertaliser companies are taxed more (or at least that was going to happen) because fertaliser that is used to promote plant growth results in dead lakes. they are taxed more so help undo the harm. farmers are taxed because their cows f*rt too. he he. but f*rting cows pollute the environment too...
