Quite right. Not only are the carbon credits directed toward manufacturing, but the ultimate aim is directed at the population. Their not really saying this though. It's always under the guise of saving the environment. Compared to the income tax that has been rightly coined as a tax on the sweat equity of an individual's productivity, the carbon tax is based on an individual's own life. The size of their carbon footprint is dependent on that person's usefulness. Behind all the smoke and mirrors of climate change and saving the environment, the carbon tax is based on population control ; ergo depopulation.
