Tax scams are their livlihood.

Something similar probably would have happened here if we (USA) had stayed in and adhered to the Paris accord.

That thing with the fuel prices was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It´s all about the "upper", rich "class" exploiting 99% of the not rich people in the world.
Better don´t do that if you´re just one percent, otherwise something will happen.

The jug goes to the well until it breaks!

This information should put the causes in perspective: (Can anyone say Taxed Enough Already)

Outside of major cities, most French people drive cars. It’s an activity that consumes a major chunk of their income—in general, much more so than drivers in the United States, where gross pay is higher and state governments maintain astonishingly low tax rates on gasoline. French people earn a monthly median income of €1,700, according to the state statistical agency, or about $1,900. Meanwhile, diesel fuel, which most drivers use, costs more than €1.50 a liter—equivalent to $6.74 a gallon. It’s grown even more expensive over the last year, with costs spiking by about 25 percent.

Meanwhile, since taking office a year and a half ago, Emmanuel Macron has mandated further belt-tightening for the working class. In the name of fighting the budget deficit, local governments have seen subsidies for part-time jobs slashed, low-income people have suffered cuts in their housing aid, and retirees have been dealt reductions in their pension checks.

The rich receive a very different sort of treatment: Overseeing his very first budget as president, Macron rushed to repeal France’s wealth tax, which had applied only to those with over €1.3 million in assets. This is why the notion of justice fiscale, or “tax justice,” figures so prominently among Yellow Vest sympathizers: Why should ordinary people, they ask, be forced to fork over another couple hundred euros each month while the super-rich are rewarded simply for being super-rich?

If we are in any man made climate mess, it is because of industry, not just the individual- people driving to work, delivering, producing, and consuming, all of which fatten the pockets of the elite. Now that they are rich, it’s time to turn off the juice and enjoy the spoils.

Tear gas?, where is the UN?

Move out of Paris?

You have zero understanding of the issue. In order to live out of Paris and cities like where it's too expensive, you're looking at small villages where you sometimes have to drive upward of 50 miles to get something basic and necessary like groceries, so the expensive policies to save the environment fall most heavily on you just for having to conduct the basic business of living.

A lot of these people are where the American middle class will shortly be -- too rich to qualify for the generous social state they pay for off the sweat of their brows and barely able to keep their lives going because of the heavy, heavy burden of taxes imposed on them to finance it.

Folks, we are seeing Cloward-Piven's endgame in Europe.

Top and bottom collapsing the middle.

Couldn't resist.

What is sad is most of the protesters will STILL vote for Progressive Globalist who only see them as "Worker Tax Cows".

Only observing Tijuana beaches.

Anyone catch the all seeing high with 666 below it painted on the road?

Over 700 arrests being reported so far on Fox News channel.

Seems Macron intends to crush these protests. What has he got to lose now anyway?

Until things change, things will remain the same.But i really do think shift is happening now, and this disaster we've been engulfed in, is about to have it's reign reneged.

It's all over when the shooting starts. Either the protests will break or we'll see war.

Macron thinks he's too big to lose. MACRON is dead wrong.

a reply to: KingJames

It's a good thing Macron didn't get a REAL army, like he wanted. It's guaranteed he won't get it now.

a reply to: carewemust

Macron is a has been before his time. He doesnt deserve the honor he was given of protecting his Countrymen.

Macron is a Traitor.

2 livestreams at once

It's really got nothing to do with Frexit. I'm not sure which sources are reporting that.

It's got much more to do with income inequality in France. You know, the exact same reason we should all be out rioting in the streets.

People are angry.
