France riots over green taxes
http://time.com/5462528/paris-police...rs-fuel-taxes/
Currently gasoline costs $7 US gallon. $4.20 US is taxes. Large portion is paid towards moving from a fossil fuel energy base.
Just saw the footage on TV. Crazy. Whole country shutting down. Road blocks everywhere.

Macron says that the fossil fuel taxes are necessary to fund Alternative Energy Research. Ha!
More like, those taxes are required to fund the invasion of France by outsiders.
No fossil fuel taxes are going to be spent on research and development.
Show me proof.

Hard to answer that question, because taxation is complex.
But Federally, I think Canada does well. Google it and I think you’d be surprised

Moved here from Germany, 50% of the paycheck went to the government and the VAT which is similar to GST was 19%, gas currently at $2.20/liter.
It can be worse.

There comes a point where the oppressed have to rebel. Some things are essential to life and have to be affordable.

Ok, in that case who gives a poop in France. They have two national sports, eating cheese and drinking wine. Neither one requires much driving.

Not yet. Not enough pain yet. Albertans have high threshold for pain. Government is counting on this threshold.

Quote from the French PM on backing off on the tax increase.
No tax is worth the unity of the nation.
Justin, are you listening ?

Our country will never be united.
Each part of the country wants to sell out the next part.
