Do you support the Yellow Vests in France?
Or are you pulling for the government.
No. On est vraiment trop cons a tout péter. And I know it's not just about this bit I can't get behind the fact that the movement started with taxes on diesel at a time where we need to tackle climate change. We can be so fucking backwards sometimes...
So just abolish everybody's businesses down because they're unable to come up with the dozens of thousands or millions of dollars needed to purchase alternative parts? Arrogant craphead.
Love the vocabulary. You've gotta create an incentive to move to cleaner alternatives. Diesel has been unjustifiably taxed lower than gasoline for decades. This is just setting the record straight. You're talking like the price of diesel would double under the new tax when it's just a few cents a liter increase. We've seen worst prices at the pump in 2008. WTF is wrong with you dude?
Yes!!! I support 20 hour work weeks and guaranteed government pensions after 20 years of work. Fucking french assholes
Macron always makes me think of Macaroons, and I like turtles. So here’s turtle macaroons. I may try to make these with yellow vests.
You done blew my mind
I thought Europeans were so pleased with their socialist governments charging them high taxes. The ones I’ve met working in the US always love giving me that line about how they are happy to pay more so the government can improve society. These protestors seem to be saying something different.
Or maybe they are mad that taxes for the rich have been cut while taxes like this have been passed to make up some of the difference. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/04/23/macron-economic-reforms-stronger-than-trump-tax-cuts.html “By trimming corporate rates and a "wealth tax" on the rich, the centrist French leader aimed to make France more business-friendly. Inserting a stent into France's sclerotic labor market, he has moved to loosen hiring-and-firing regulations on companies.”
Taxes *always* burden the poor and the working class. In Sweden, in Denmark, in France, in Cuba, in former USSR. There’s even a natural reason for that, and it has nothing to do with commie bs about class war.
^exactly. People don’t riot because they hear about other people’s tax cuts. They riot because their own taxes got raised.
“To finance those changes [cutting taxes on the rich], Macron seeks to curb France's generous state-funded pensions, especially for affluent retirees. He is hiking "green taxes" to accelerate the shift from carbon-emitting fossil fuels that cause global warming.”
Yes.
