I suspect the protests will continue.

Taxation on ordinary people and pensioners is rather a dumb move by Macron.

Instead of taxing diesel across the board he should just increase it for trucking companies, heavy industries, factories and the like.

I don't trust a man who married a women that might even be older then his own mother.

He goes against his biology.

And I've heard from colleagues that he "needs" his wife to mommy him when he goes campaigning/ground visits etc.

Disgusting. Boggles the mind to think people voted for a deviant to be a president.

It surely is a sign of mental health issue or at best of very bad judgement.

But again youd be surprise how the general blue pill would see this.
Talk top a few friends about it and they all say but she is hot.....,

Im like wtf hot....... menopausal women is not hot unless you are 80.

I like him same with Bernie but it will be very hard for them to ever get far enough to make a difference.
I think best way would be to hide your true intention until you get elected then start the **** show, but those guys wont ever take that route

Macron should put more taxes on the rich instead of taxing across the board.

It was the ordinary people that paid for all the govt infrastructure like roads to move rich companies goods, services like the police and army that protected those rich companies to be able to do business in a safe environment.

Rich companies prospered due to the initial investment by ordinary people and now they should pay back.

An other big problem in France is 20% or the population are civil servant, by far the most of any EU country

Perhaps a big chunk of those numbers comes from critical services such as police, armed forces and hospital staffing.

But 20% of the population is rather huge and suggests that the government over hired people to placate some quarters.

By comparison, Singapore civil servants only accounts about 1.5% of the population.

Imo its 1 reason for higher taxes but i think there is way too much pencil pusher in France

France dug themselves into a hole with their generous entitlement programs and open border policies, now they're trying to figure out how to pay for it all. Naturally, people get pissed when they find out that nothing is truly free.

All Western countries are headed for the same fate.

BS.

France’s fiscal concerns are the same as all EU countries that use the Euro. They have debt problems because they ceded their right to issue currency to the ECB. The United Kingdom did not do this, thus doesn’t have this problem.

For the rest of you participating, currency doesn't require a government or a nation to exist and perform. Actually the poster above made one valuable reference. Monopoly money is a good example of currency that has nothing to do with any government but on two people willing to accept it as such. Like cigarettes in prison. Or Bitcoin for that matter.

Also, I mentioned the wealth of goods and services (GDP I suppose), not the value of the currency. Two different things.

Finally almost s full admission of the truth. Fiat currency is Monopoly money. All major countries use it.

Now, Danger should be around to troll shortly.

Issuing more currency is only a temporary fix. Eventually, the chickens come home to roost.

And I disagree with the poster's repeated opinion that politics are "moral."

Me too.

Politics mainly attracts the power hungry, and the winners are usually just better actors, i.e. liars.

What is moral about robbing Peter to pay Paul?

Dudes, I highly doubt that a bunch of people got together chaotically and unorganized and began an organized rally along with massive internet campaign (just go to bestgore or liveleak). This looks more like an organized military operation, like maidan in Ukraine, which resulted in government coup that brought in pro western nazi extremists and a war.

Why in France you might ask. Good question, I don't know the answer to it, and I don't like making assumptions.

If you look at what is happening in Syria and in Lybia, everywhere in that area basically, you got western (U.S.) and Israeli supported ISIS extrimists. One must ask himself, wft at this point, Israeli and U.S. supported ISIS, islamic extrimists wtf. But it makes sense actually, if they were moderates, or saints, you couldn't bomb them, but I digress. These military bowl movements in the middle east cause a mass migration into Europe, this is by design. You don't have to be a genius to see that actions of United States and Israel in middle east are causing instabilities in Europe. Now you got migrant problems in France among other places, and you got this something that looks like an organized military operation, the protests. I could only assume that chaos is needed for something nasty.

^Once again, EBR argues a completely different point and misattributes. Also, note the wordplay, "BS," "Nope," "Troll."

You can go into debt with any currency. This year Estonia's debt was only 8.7% of its GDP. France's was 98%; Greece, 180%. All are on the euro. The UK's was 85.5%, about the EU average, despite being on the pound.

Seems to me that eyeB believes that debt doesn't matter. Typical of leftists; utopia is just around the corner...

Analogies of government debt to personal debt are fallacious. Government debt is nothing more than an accounting notation.

Easier put, if the monopoly bank stats off with $20,000, and each of the 3 players must be paid $10,000, the bank has a debt of $10,000 and must issue that $10,000 of new currency.

The difference between Greece and the UK is the UK can issue debt at will. Greece cannot.
