Get together on tax increases

Despite the fact that environmentally friendly measures are needed, the high additional taxes on fuel are going to be especially tough on already burdened low-income citizens, in a time when many important other areas are already taking away so much disposable income.

Food, property taxes, mortgage and rent costs, as well as inflation in general, are really cutting into spending options for everyone, and now they want some people to possibly freeze in their dwellings due to unaffordable heating bills.

Is it unreasonable for all governments to band together to have a combined reasonable increase in the different ways of taxing us all?
