"We have to worry about the end of the month....12 times a year"
"Yellow Jacket" Protester In France Explains That While Others May Worry About "The End Of The World" The Protesters Have More Immediate Worries
They say that "pro-business" French President Emmanuel Macron is out of touch with the "little people" with his massive increases in fuel taxes that burden the average people. Taxes that are imposed in the name of "going green".
Today Macron was saying the taxes need to be fairer, but he was insisting that they must go forward.
The French fuel taxes and taxes imposed in other countries like higher utility bills in Canada in the name of "climate change" remind us of the harsh truth about "climate change".
The issue is really one of political leaders and business leaders creating a "crisis" to justify higher taxes on little people while big business-big corporations enjoy "carbon credits".
Otherwise liberal and progressive people who might not like "big business" are hustled into tax schemes that put the burden on the average person instead of the big people and big business.
It was former Walmart Chairman Rob Walton (son of Sam Walton) and former Walmart CEO Lee Scott who were big champions of "sustainability", the company's belief in man-made climate change.
When conservative shareholders showed up at the annual meetings to challenge the company's policy, they answered the accusation of the company going "to the Left" by saying that Walmart's policy supporting the notion of man-made climate change would make the company more profitable.
And that's the way it really is when it comes to "climate change" and Emmanuel Macron's fuel taxes in France and "climate change" taxes wherever they are imposed.
It's a trick to fund welfare states with taxes on the backs of the little people.
I just can't bring myself to sit in line forever at Costco. :)

Too bad environmentalist don’t really care about the environment. The real cause if all environmental problems can be traced to one source. OVER POPULATION. Out of control breeding. Who breeds the most? The people who can least support their children.

Asked the attendant at HEB if they were going to be giving gas away for Christmas. She laughed and said “maybe”.
