Massachusetts Governor Proposes a “Carbon Fee” For Parking at Logan Airport
If ever you needed more proof that global warming is just an excuse to raise taxes perhaps this story will help provide you with the proof that you need.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has proposed charging people a $2 “carbon fee” for parking at Logan airport. Even if you are a true believer that global warming is real and is man-made this “carbon fee” has nothing to do with saving the planet.
Governor Patrick is using the politically correct term of “carbon fee” to raise taxes, which as I have been saying for two years here, is the only true goal of global warming. (That and global socialization and subjugating the people.)
His intent here is not to cut down on carbon emissions or to dissuade people from unfriendly environmental habits, it is strictly to raise more money for infrastructure.
to be used for improvements to airport-related transit projects, including a proposal to build a new tunnel under South Boston to speed up the Logan-bound Silver Line bus service, and the initial phases of a long-term plan to build a transit loop around the city
Maybe these are needed and welcome projects but that is not the point. The point is that instead of just admitting that he is raising the fees for more construction projects he is hiding behind the ideal of global warming. What does building a tunnel have to do with carbon fees other than the fact that it provides a convenient way to raise more money for the state? If anything the construction vehicles will pollute the planet even more.
All I ask is that Governor Patrick be just a little more honest with his constituents and not hide behind what he thinks is a politically correct issue. This is a tax increase pure and simple and this “carbon fee” has nothing to do with carbon emissions or controlling them. This is just a way for him to raise more money and he is hiding behind the global warming hoax.
When you come right down to it, Governor Patrick isn’t doing anything that other global warming alarmist politicians wouldn’t do, he just isn’t bothering to hide behind the scam that the taxes he raises will go toward saving the planet. He is going to use the “carbon fees” for whatever the hell he wants to. But he is showing us that the ultimate goal of global warming is raising taxes, and for that we should be grateful.

I wonder when they will do it, and how expensive the tax will be for farting? I hope it’s not more than a dollar each, or I’ll go broke!
These damned libs just don’t know when to quit.

You can ask all you want, but Duh-val is not going to be “more “honest”. He knows one thing– how Beacon Hill works. Honesty is not a principle that encumbers the legislators there. Now they want slot machines everywhere for revenue? That will only hurt the people they are supposedly trying to help. At least it will make more business for gambling addiction rehabs.

The slot machines will hurt the poor, just as you said. That is who plays the slots. But lets face it, with Obama going after the rich and the middle class it is about time someone makes the poor pay their fair share. 🙂

I agree with your views that in the name of global warming they are increasing taxes.
