French riot police use tear gas on anti-tax protesters

AFP - 02 November 2013
French riot police fired tear gas at thousands of demonstrators in north-west France on Saturday, after some protesters hurled stones and iron bars at them in a rally against a controversial green tax and layoffs.....Protest organisers said 30,000 people, including hauliers, fishermen and food industry workers, had gathered in the town of Quimper in Brittany to demonstrate against an environmental tax on trucks and layoffs, even though the government had earlier in the week suspended the application of the so-called ecotax......The prefect of the department of Finistere, Jean-Luc Videlaine, blamed the violence on a "marginal group" of right-wing extremists, who he said were believed to be among the protesters......The ecotax, aimed at encouraging environmentally friendly commercial transport, imposes new levies on French and foreign vehicles transporting commercial goods weighing over 3.5 tonnes.
It came under fire from farmers and food sector workers across the country, but especially in Brittany, where the economy is heavily dependent on agriculture....."I'm here to defend my job,".....the taxes "are killing us".......Environmentalists slammed the Socialist government for postponing the tax, with Green MEP Jose Bove calling the move "pathetic" and an "incredible retreat"....To Read More....
My Take – At least someone in France gets it!  Taxes kill jobs!  The problem in France is they don’t get the whole story.  These taxes came into being because of them.  The French people demand cradle to the grave care and yet fail to realize that costs money.  Someone else’s money, and that’s running out, and their ability to borrow is coming to an end. 
They go along with all these insane green ideas, like the precautionary principle, and then are upset when their imposition interferes with their lives.  The greenies are exposed as misanthropic and yet they attack the green’s handmaidens in government without attacking the very people responsible for all this.  The greenies themselves!  France’s problems are unfixable within the current cultural paradigm.  Before this is all over the EU will collapse, hyper inflation will consume all of Europe, there will be ethnic wars between the European and Muslim populations, food riots, there will be a Sixth Republic in France and that government will be repressive. 
This is a scenario that is going to play out over all of Europe, and I believe this will spread worldwide.  Once the EU collapses the economic fallout will be catastrophic for the world’s economy, and the governments of the world will also turn repressive hoping to control the masses.  This won't work because the two things needed to stabilize society will no longer exist.  A stable economy with a strong financial foundation, and a strong society based on a stable moral foundation!  Socialists have done all in their power to destroy capitalism and that will bankrupt them.  Socialists have done all in their power to undermine the only stable moral foundation humanity has ever known; Judaic/Christian principles, and it will come back to haunt them.  It is unfortunate that so many will suffer for their being wrong,
