Can Polyps On Gallbladder Turn To Cancer

Should we still allowed to commute?

presented few days ago, Doris Leuthard its proposals for future funding of Swiss transport infrastructure in principle they would like the mobility in the public transport as more expensive in individual motorized transport and limit the tax deductions of commuting. With their demands, Ms Leuthard right. Of course you can discuss the exact form of either measure, but in the right direction. is attacked their solution, especially with social arguments and any political side discovered her heart for the poor commuters. This is understandable at first sight and of course it is also true that people are disproportionately affected by long commutes and low income of the proposed changes . In arguing for the status quo, but this is useless, go for it while different things forgotten.

There is no right to environmental degradation and transport, whether on the train or even much more in the car destroyed the environment. Social justice is not an adequate justification for our environment and our children to destroy. For social justice, we need other instruments as subsidies of traffic.

All subsidies distort the market, including the subsidization of commuting. That is, will the removal of subsidies and the pendulum closer to the true costs of transport, including effects on other aspects of our lives. It would be possible, for example, that companies move their location in the center to the periphery, because there would have to pay low wages or that the housing costs go down in the border regions. It could increase car-pooling or risks incurred alternative working hours and job models. Such changes are not anti-social per se, but may be able to even further have a positive impact. The announced changes do not necessarily mean that we have less disposable income at the end, but ideally to the fact that we did not disposable income (rent, taxes, labor costs, health insurance, etc.) will print differently distributed.

The route proposed by the Federal Councillor Leuthard is right and we should take it. This applies both to trust that displayed by the power of markets to new, innovative solutions. Where this fails, we can still help with targeted interventions to people who need support. So it seems to me more appropriate to to reduce the tax burden lower income than encourage commuters to all subsidies for environmental degradation.
