Macron rates better than a rope.

Any American who advocates an international climate tax to be imposed on Americans advocates giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Perhaps global warming alarmist elites will be the first to explain why explain why greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 fail to hold the heat down under the shadow of a midday solar eclipse of an otherwise warm sunny day.
Also, is it any surprise that nighttime temperatures typically keep dropping in various places until shortly after sunrise?
The bottom line is that government elites are dreaming up excuses to raise taxes imo. Putting a stop to government-manufactured global warming crisis seems to be the best excuse so far.
From related thread...
Consider that one of the main reasons that the drafters of the Constitution gave ordinary citizens voters the power to vote for House representatives is because House uniquely has the power to originate tax appropriations bills. So citizens could remedy tax-hungry lawmakers by voting them out of office.
In other words, politically correct, unaccountable global warming tax is taxation without representation for US citizens.
And if corrupt Congress wants to sell the global tax as foreign aid, consider that Justice Joseph Story had clarified that foreign aid is constitutionally indefensible.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Also, global tax is based on federal government's constitutionally enumerated treaty power imo. The problem is that respected constitutional experts, including Supreme Court, have clarified that treaty power cannot be used as a back door to expand the federal government's powers.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.
In fact, consider that Thomas Jefferson, based on his experience as vice president and therefore president of the Senate which confirms treaties, had previously noted limits on federal treaty power.
“In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise.” —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
“Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .
Regarding 2024 elections, it's up to Democratic and Republican patriots to initiate the final stage of Trump 47's second term mission to finish draining the swamp by primarying as many of our beloved state and federal lawmakers and executives as we can.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
In fact, given that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the unconstitutionally big federal government to dictate domestic policy is to run the Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers), the worst problem that the peacetime country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of freshman lawmakers is a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
Trump can endorse candidates that Constitution-savvy patriots recommend as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
That's exactly what that means!
Not that I’d agree to this. But in order to have worldwide fairness. Every human must pay 10 dollars a year. Good luck Africa! And governments cannot pay for you.
monge he merde macron
He wants to increase his cut.
macron has riots in france, now he effin with us
jauntes gilletts!!
I’m certain the frenchees already collect tens of billions of taxpayer money per year. Must be they want more.
States and national governments who have dug their populations into high tax holes are seeking a way out of problems of their own creation.
Time for a Boston cheese party.
With french whine
Never been shaken down by a froggy. Mairde.
Macron rates better than a rope.
Frog March, not drag, fits better. ;)
France needs to refurbish their guillotines.
Paying taxes for something we basically can’t change should suggest to most anyone that the money is actually just ending up in someone’s back pocket. Like so many other things these days.
Anybody got blueprints for a gilotine? Asking for a friend of French descent.
