we're mid election and not a single one of the parties has explained how it's going to replace the carbon tax rebate for people that don't pay income taxes.
they gave me $560 last year in carbon tax rebates. as i use no carbon at all, i spent $0 on carbon taxes, and i know that the carbon tax had no discernible impact on the cost of food (especially the cost of imported food, which is 90% of the food i buy, because i buy actual food, produce, and not processed garbage).
my total net income from odsp last year was $16056. that means that the carbon rebate was 560/(16056+560) = 3.4% of my income.
cutting the carbon rebate checks will result in a 3.5% decrease in my total income. that's supposed to help me, in some way?
how do i replace that lost income?
