French Riots Really Aren't About Global Warming, - They're About Tax Heavy Socialism Posted: Dec 11th, 2018 - 12:44 pm
After weeks of spreading riots and demonstrations in Paris, socialist French President Emmanuel Macron has had an epiphany or sorts. Not only is he not going to put a new global warming tax on fuel, he's going to let financially-strapped French families keep more of their money from the taxman. At least this year.
"No mercy"? Sounds like total surrender for someone who, just days earlier, arrested 1, 939 people across the country, more than a thousand of those in Paris.
The truth is, Macron has lost control both of the people and of the narrative. His 18% approval rating is one of the lowest in modern French history.
Meanwhile, the French tax revolt is spreading. People in other countries are also fed up with high taxes and arrogant governments staffed by rich, autocratic bureaucrats.
So why have Democrats made a vague "Green New Deal" one of the centerpieces of their agenda for next year's Congress?
In short, the "Green New Deal" is basically just soup-to-nuts green socialism. That's it.
It's yet another step in the Democratic Party's radicalization. As we've noted many times before, Americans won't like green socialism anymore than the regular kinds. Don't be shamed into believing its false claims. It's a system that has never worked anywhere. And it certainly won't work here.....
