Carbon Rationing – The New Marxist Ploy

J.J. Jackson* | May 31, 2008

Yes, good little Marxists everywhere are working hard to find a new way to reinstitute their repeatedly failed ideology yet again. In Britain, believe it or not, they are suggesting that the citizens be forced to carry “carbon ration cards” which would limit everything from the amount of gasoline one could buy or how far they could fly. How Soviet of them!

Of course, we all know that government officials and other important folks will be exempted from such silly restrictions. They always are.

Every adult should be forced to use a ‘carbon ration card’ when they pay for petrol, airline tickets or household energy, MPs say.

The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain’s CO2 emissions without penalising the poor.

Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights.

…

But critics say the idea is costly, bureaucratic, intrusive and unworkable.
The Government says it supports the scheme in principle, but warns it is ‘ahead of its time’.

Of course the government supports the principle! They’re government! All governments tend towards communism/Marxism over time which is why the people have the God given right to cast them off and form new ones. And of course you are too stupid to see the wonder of this ingenious plan! That’s what the it is “ahead of its time” reference is code for. Someday you’ll grow up and understand the wisdom of the bureaucracy!

Until then however, submit!
