After the defeat of I-1631’s carbon tax on the ballot, which failed in 36 of the 39 counties in the state of Washington, now I see on a Channel 13 interview that the governor is going to introduce to the legislature a 1-2 punch that sounds like another environmental tax.
I don’t know why he would think that he would get different results across the U.S. than the Washington state county results when taking his unpopular socialistic New World Order/climate change agenda on the road for his potential presidency run.
The French working class is now past its eighth week of rioting due to the bottomless pit of taxes that includes environmental, carbon tax leaving them penniless before the end of the month for food, gas and discretionary spending, just four short years after the 2014 inception of the seemingly never ending increases of the environmental carbon tax. The total price of their fuel alone reflects 60 percent taxes.
This and more behind the French riots from Euro news (tinyurl.com/EuroNewsYellowVests) since the U.S. mainstream media has either done a poor job covering this story or have done a really good job of burying it.
I believe that we should learn from others mistakes, like the French, instead of jumping head first into this bottomless money pit and then expect different results.
