I knew that Macron was a neoliberal and a roadie of billionaire interests, but I didn’t think that the corruption was this bad or that he was such an authoritarian scumbag. He was preferable to Marine Le Penn, no? Macron’s greed and incompetence is ensuring that the RN can gain control of Paris and pursue their vision of a far-right France, at worse, or implode the French economy British style, at best. And what’s the issue with the gas tax? It seems a lot similar to a carbon tax to offset the effects of climate change and encourage society towards a more carbon-neutral future. Maybe Paris can create a modified cash for clunkers program where money from the gas tax is used to subsidize electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and French people can trade in their gas-powered cars for rebates towards buying the aforementioned alternative energy vehicles. However you may feel about the gas tax, the consequences of climate change is gonna cause real national security issues in France and the rest of the first world. Things look really bad in France for Macron and his government. How much longer until he goes from being President Macron to Citizen Macron? Corruption in politics is really bad in France, Sarkozy (an ancient president) got Kadafi murdered over some money shenanigans and it started the whole war in Lybia. Sarkozy is doing fine, and working behind the scene with Macron. He will probably never see the inside of a jail cell. And yes Macron was supposed to be better than LePen..but it's not going this way.
The gas tax is a mess. First Macaron and friends have no eco friendly program whatsoever. They have a "Make Our Planet Great Again" PR program but nothing of substance. They increased the gas tax at a time when people just can't cope with taxes anymore. Then they lied, 20% of the tax will go to some nebulous eco friendly something or other. 80% of that will fund a program that give money to big Business.
We have a program in France called CICE, we give money to Big Business so they create jobs. Mostly they don't , they take the money and they lay off people and public money goes to investors. Basically it's money for Macron's friends.
Macron and a lot of our politicians shouldn't just go back to public life, they should go to prison life.
Oh, man. We have very similar things going on in the US, where politicians try to give their rich buddies tax handouts. They used to call it “trickle-down economics.” The theory was that if you give rich cucks free money just for being rich, that that money will “trickle down” to the lower classes. Unsurprising to anyone who isn’t an Austrian school dunce, it never “trickled down.” On the other hand, given the millennia custom of rich people pissing on the poor, it becomes clear what “trickle down” actually means. This Macron guy feels more like a Republican, without the insane social policies. Better watch out or the government might try to destroy your safety net. No more austerity measures. If Macron tries to cut your guys’ healthcare, let him know that he’s gonna get a guillotine shoved up his ass if he does.
