Macron tried to go American: tax breaks for the rich and more taxes for the working class. France is not the U.S. and the French are now cowed Americans. Welcome to your own country, Macron.

H.G. Wells wrote in his book "The New World Order" in 1940:
"Countless people will hate the new world order and will die protesting against it."
The world is not quite there yet but certainly headed that direction.

Macron worked for the rich his whole life, it's not surprising he's doing it while being president.
The people of France may take time to react, but then it reacts hard ! Macron actually came at the worst time, after two president that deeply disappointed the country.
Now that Macron is trying to crush the people once and for all, it is well time for a full on revolution !

Macron survive? Why would anyone want that. I think if you cause your entire country to meltdown in to a nationwide riot where even the police unions start joining in, its over, the failed politician should resign. The people of France are clearly in revolt over the high taxation, fake global warming financial scams and socialism in general. Politicians the world over are too focused on their scams, their abject greed and their power. If they would instead put too much focus on freedom and free economics, then life would be better for all. Instead most politicians are like Macron, just a parasite only this one went too far and the people of France appear to be tired of the political class taking from them to enrich the government.
