Government increases fuel tax: they revolt.
Government wants to cut social benefits: they revolt.
Government increases workweek hours: they revolt.
German's invade, they re ................ oh wait. Nevermind.
What does this even mean?
Something lost in the translation?
Macron doubled down Saturday saying he would not suspend
the fuel tax.
His u-Turn this morning was so quick, he turned into his
own self.
Trump had this moron pegged,
as Macron is in deep do.
It is curious that they picked a six-month delay. That means that the entire focus of the EU election in May for France....is about this tax episode, and Macron’s party will lose in a massive way in this EU representative effort. That was a bad way to plan this out
So riots DO get you what you want. Nice. Expect more.
Just think had Marine Le Pen and Hillary won the elections? How interesting our relations with France would have been. I wonder how the MSM would have handled the leaders of the US, Britain, France and Germany.
“Originally, the yellow vest protesters were people from rural areas who have to drive long distances as part of their daily life. They said they couldn’t afford the hike in fuel prices. Protests appeared in pockets around France to denounce Macron’s green tax and then quickly grew into a larger movement that includes members of the working and middle classes who are expressing their frustration about slipping standards of living. They say their incomes are too high to qualify for social welfare benefits but too low to make ends meet. The movement has no official leadership and was organized initially through social media groups.”
Sounds like a Taxed Enough Already party.
