Gag!
| I entered this thread to congratulate the French for getting this one right. Then is see the bill was struck down because it isn’t onerous enough. In its ruling, the French council said the tax was flawed because it would have primarily raised the cost of fuel for vehicles and heating even though there are many other sources of emissions. "Tax fairness" is a legitimate argument to stop the Greens, as well as ObamaCare. The plaintiff's went with what they saw would work within their Constitutional law, which is a great legal strategy to stop an over-reaching Executive Branch. Incidentally, France's three branches of government is similar to the US in this regard. Remember that Al Capone went to Alcatraz not because of murder, conspiracy or direct violation against 18th Amendment (Prohibition), but because of income tax evasion and various violations of the Volstead Act. |
