World Wide Protests against Oil Prices. We Should Join Them!
The French and Brits, and others, are now staging blockages and slowdown over the price of oil:
Ref Article: Sarkozy calls for tax cut as fuel protests spread in Europe [1]
Well, even the socialists are feeling the tax pinch. We can thank the Marxist EcoNazis for high costs and no help from nuclear power.
“"I want to ask the question to our European partners: if oil continues to increase, should we not suspend the VAT taxation on the price of oil?" Sarkozy said in a radio interview.
The effect of skyrocketing fuel prices on fishermen has steadily gained attention throughout the continent, and European ministers on Tuesday called for direct EU economic aid to the industry.” [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
“French consumers pay about 19.6 percent VAT on the price of fuel.”
That is a great idea for liberals to push for! Why not raise taxes on gas now?
“Meanwhile, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said the country must boost its nuclear power to address the problem, adding that "we are dealing with a long-term increase of the price of oil."
Where is our nuclear power?: Oh! Stalled for 30 years by liberals?
“British truck owners say they face unfair competition from continental haulers who they say can buy cheaper fuel.”
Maybe we can get truck service from illegal aliens! Can they buy oil from Mexico at low cost??
Thank the liberals for this and remember them in November.
