We’re somewhere between “let them eat cake” and “off with their heads”

Macron said in his speech that the rich elites have left France

The tax was removed in order to get them to come back

[Jimmy Valentine]

Too late.

Nice of Adolf to raise the wages of businesses in the name of Global Warming so they can pay their taxes.

"French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday a €100 per month increase in the minimum wage..."

Sheer genius! Now watch inflation start spiraling out of control as small businesses fold and consumer prices rise. These fools never learn.

[Alas Babylon!]

I especially like the part about raising salaries 100 Euros per month without cost to the employer.

OK, but where does the actual money come from? Obama's stash?

[napscoordinator]

So if you make over two thousand euro, you get the raise, but if you make less, the increase goes away? Seems backwards.

[napscoordinator]

I think macron screwed himself. In spring, they will come back with more demands.

[DennisR]

Yep - the lefties are NEVER satisfied.
