Hmm. You tax fossil fuels heavily in Order to persuade people to use less and choose more environmentally friendly alternatives. They do that but now you're used to having the money so you tax the thing you wanted them to switch to..
I for one will not be installing a black box in my car, it's my right as a private individual to travel freely without informing the government about where I've been. I'll rip it out or put it in a lead box if I have to. I think COVID tracking has finally gone to their heads.
Another one to watch is green energy - it is currently heavily subsidized by fossil fuel taxes, so when everybody finally uses green energy they will lose tax income and the cost of green energy will increase for maintenance and future projects.
And as always, it is the poorest tax payers that ultimately pay the largest bills. They will be left with the largest road tax bill as they wait for a proper second-hand EV market to emerge, then will never see the tax break of owning an EV. They will be the last to adopt green energy, and will pay the most for it.
Politicians are completely removed from the decisions they make. In their mind everybody lives like a toff they rub shoulders with in central London. But, as they will learn, you can only push the working class so far. History is filled with peasant revolts.
