Share of federal excise taxes paid by US households reporting different income levels, 1979-2007

Both the federal and provincial governments impose excise taxes on inelastic goods such as cigarettes, gasoline, alcohol, and for vehicle air conditioners. A great bulk of the retail price of cigarettes and alcohol are excise taxes. The vehicle air conditioner tax is currently set at $100 per air conditioning unit. Canada has some of the highest rates of taxes on cigarettes and alcohol in the world. These are sometimes referred to as sin taxes.”…

AND THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE FOR A TAX ON AIR CONDITIONERS WAS….

THE CRITICAL ANSWER IS… !!!

GAS CONSUMPTION RIGHT ???

ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER, DOES ANYONE THINK IT’S ABOUT TIME THIS ONE HITS THE ROAD ???

I THINK WE’VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE ON FUEL EFFICIENCY AND THE PRICE OF FUEL AS INCENTIVES TO ELIMINATE THIS TAX.

FURTHERMORE, IT IS BEING APPLIED TO OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION SUCH A HYBRIDS, ELECTRIC CARS…. ???

FUEL EFFICIENT CARS ???

GAS GUZZLERS SUCH AS WORKING TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO THIS TAX EITHER, THERE’S A REASON ‘WHY’ AIR CONDITIONERS ARE ALMOST A NEED, NOT A LUXURY ANYMORE. PEOPLE’S HEALTH ARE IN JEOPARDY JUST AS ANIMALS LOCKED UP IN HOT CARS AND TRUCKS WOULD BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS AND CRUEL TO THE RIGHT TO SECURITY AND LIFE.

SMART TAXES FOR THE GOOD OF ALL, OKAY… STUPID TAXES NEED ELIMINATION !
