Why the government always raising fuel taxes to force people to rely on public transportation and "fight climate change" for big business tho?
Every time national government hikes fuel taxes for climate change the DOW goes up, dontcha know?
Business is the main beneficiary of tax hikes for climate change.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Where can you even start addressing that level of dumb?

Dr. Hash - you're the brainiac. Help Monte understand the obvious here.

This is what I mean - he’s not dumb - just greedy, controlling, and power hungry - he knows everything you just said - he toes the line because he wants you to pay his way - its fucking inscidious- when are you going to get that?

Wealth tax means all the super wealthy dont pay a cent because all their personal shit is in offshore accounts and the burden is left to the middle class who are now considered "wealthy" by political elites.

Wealth taxes are a direct assault on the middle class.

Basically, the new left paradigm is an alignment between the wealthiest families (and their corporations) and the poorest people, at the expense of the middle class.

It's really just urbanism. Urban shit holes like Seattle or Paris are places where the very wealthy get special breaks, and they align with the working poor to fleece the middle class through property taxes. Wealthy don't usually pay that much taxes in terms of percentages of their wealth or income compared to the middle class. Poor don't pay shit.

Monty, we rarely share the same viewpoint, but no matter the poster I do appreciate when people post links to information that I was not aware of before. That said, using VOX as a source of information is an immediate red flag. The article (and your post as well) come across as a way to take yet another shot at Trump rather than inform people.

With that out of the way, I do wish you would address the part that stated Macron is enacting these fuel taxes as part of a plan to make the French economy more business friendly. Is there any proof of this other than VOX saying so? If it is true, how is raising fuel taxes pro-business?

StA and DB sound like fucking broken records at this point....just fucking accept that the left, honest to God, wants to enslave you and they are OK with becoming slaves themselves in exchange for "security".

There is no turning them - they are set in their ways.
