Macron believes himself Emperor / King given his sub-

genius intellect/ He’s one of the EU obeying toddlers in

long pants. The EU’s willing knave.

He said people on the minimum wage would see their salaries increase by €100 a month from 2019 without extra costs to employers. Pensioners earning less than €2,000 would see the recent increase in social security taxes scrapped. Other measures promised include the abolition of taxes on overtime pay in 2019 and asking profit-making companies to give workers tax-free year-end bonuses

....and all of course ....other people’s money

Wait, he can do this on his own? He does not need Le Parliament to change the law? Is he President or King?

France doesn't have a Ninth Circuit Court, apparently.

His first instinct is to make someone else (the employers) pay, and take credit for it!

Typical liberal.

Raise the minimum wage so workers can and will pay more taxes.

Macron folded like a lawn chair. The riots worked so well they need to keep doing it. I especially like the part about raising salaries 100 Euros per month without cost to the employer.

Next he will proclaim that the official language of France is Swedish.

Stay in the streets, yellow vesters. Don’t quit until every Frenchman is paid the same amount. Don’t accept crumbs!

Trudie gave a near identical speech to Canada today.

I think he and Macron share make up tips.

It’s a pretty good trick! Ya gotta admit.

You just need people stupid enough to fall for it. Like Democrats.

The WSJ says: "For the changes to take effect, Mr. Macron will need parliamentary approval, but that should be easy to secure due to his large majority."

When Ceausescu gave his final speech, he promised wage hikes.

Indeed, when the crowd started to turn, his wife is heard saying, "promise them something."
