'The biggest green tax is still fuel duty which raised £27billion in 2010. With VAT as well on both the fuel and the fuel duty, tax is about 60 per cent of the price at the pump – one of the highest ratios in the world.
Motorists also pay nearly £6billion in road tax. Add up all the domestic green taxes and they raise £39.3billion. If we assume it is fair enough for motorists to pay for building and maintaining roads that leaves £30.1billion of excess revenue.
Those additional taxes – on top of all the income tax and VAT we pay – are supposed to be justified by the contribution greenhouse gases make to global warming.'
NOTE: The louder the GREEN screams the more money they want to extract from you, as though that will make everything more environmentally safe.
