However, there is some schadenfreude in seeing a country that has romanticized progressive leftism for decades protesting high taxes.  Just how do you propose to fund a welfare state?

Close the border and charge an entrance fee, 

Marine Le Pen definitely isn't behind any of this Thom.

Nobody would help her financially with her campaign, but Putin's Russia did.

Don't they have rakes for cryin' out loud?

Let them meet rakes.

"A carbon tax is in theory a more efficient way than regulation to reduce carbon emissions. But after decades of global conferences, forests of reports, dire television documentaries, celebrity appeals, school-curriculum overhauls and media bludgeoning, voters don’t believe that climate change justifies policies that would raise their cost of living and hurt the economy."

Although the French government has announced that the tax increase that originally sparked the “gilets jaunes” protests had been canceled, they are shutting down the Eiffel Tower tomorrow due to fears of more far right and far left protests tomorrow.  I hope this ends well. 

Maybe it's OK if France riots itself to Death.  Even back in the 60's & 70's when it was sort of an independent nation producing nothing (except Cheese) the Racist locals were snooty and rude.

France is sort of like the Massachusets of Europe.  Extremely Rude & stinky people,  mediocre Cheese,  and awful traffic.

Let the next wave of Chinese Communists have it and make more plastic factories.

They should try and preserve the Museums though.
