USPA NEWS - The Yellow Vests, have the common misconception of being often "poor workers", ie they work the week and wear the yellow vest once unchained in the evening, on the rounded out points, under a shelter with hot drinks and Viennese pastries, often offered by merchants who support them ... These merchants even whose turnover has been falling steadily since the 3 weeks of blockages, still support and feed them. Most of these Yellow Vests, have never manifested their lives, before they are often Caucasians (Gauls) and are not subject to welfare aids, they just claim that "Work pays and allows to live decently" this who is not e acs right now. Among the grievances: Too many taxes and tax levies, too much inflation, lack of recognition in their often manual jobs ... and "mischief by the government elite" Among the grievances Yellow Waistcoats, no longer want the French State pays before aid to assistants, namely the RSA, welfare benefits that benefit the 8 million of those living below the poverty line. In reality, these social aids are distributed both to the French and to foreigners, and the Yellow Vests consider that the "lazy" the "foreigners" the "profiteers" who benefit from the help

GOVERNMENT TRYING TO CALM YELLOW VESTS AS THEY FEAR THAT SATURDAY IS NEVER WORSE THAN PREVIOUS---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The government announced that the policing system would be reviewed, with 89,000 police and gendarmes, including 8,000 in Paris, supported by "a dozen" armored gendarmerie to protect buildings or clear barricades. The picture appears all the darker as anger spreads in high schools and even colleges Faced with this security challenge, the government is making a deliberately alarmist speech. Unseen situation, the Elysee goes to ensure that some will come "to break and kill." Beyond the legitimate fears in the face of the violence that is multiplying everywhere in France, the government puts, by his words, on a strategy of tension? In Paris, Benjamin Griveaux defends himself, giving as advice not to go to Paris. YELLOW VESTS ARE CAUCASIAN WORKERS AND PENSIONERS AND DISABLED PERSONS WHO SAY 'SURVIVE' FINANCE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The majority of Yellow Vests are workers, retirees, disabled people who explain are struggle in their livelihood....economically speaking, and also demand their president Macron to make a dep. change in the governance n France, because they feel that the MP's, senators, Ministers, and other Politicians are disconnected form their reality and take advantage of conventional privileges, that cannot match with the current crisis. There is a huge gap of financial privileges, for the Senators, Parliamentarians, Ministers etc, and the Minimum wage in France that has not been increased significantly fr decades. The reason is because this Minimum Wage (SMIC) is nowadays too low, versus the high inflation in France and this auditioned to the cumulative taxes, and issued form the new reforms, since the new presidency of Emmanuel Macron, put the French works on their knees, and put them in a situation of survival, instead of living.... The Yellow Vests, for the most part are either workers or retirees, whose pensions have been relieved of the increase in CSG tax since the reform of this government. They demand a "real increase of the minimum wage, called the SMIC" (In May 68 the demonstrators had obtained a 30% increase), the suppression of unjust taxes ... and for some even want the dissolution of the National Assembly, and the resignation of the current government and especially President Macron. The only possible political relays today are the mayors of small towns or commutes, which still have a little confidence in the "Yellow Vests" become too defiant towards politicians, they consider disconnected from the field and the world of workers . As for the other elected officials of "Paris", parliamentarians and other ministers, the Yellow Vests do not make them more co-financing and do not wish to entrust them with their doleances or negotiate with them. They ask for a new form of governance that would allow them to date actors and participate in budget votes. The degree of distrust of the Yellow Vests is at its peak and no longer trust unions, deemed ineffective in the face of the government or accomplices of their decisions .... They have written their doleances on hundreds of notebooks circulating and they show the mayors of their city ....

CONVERGENCE OF CLASS STRUGGLES AND CHALLENGES FACING POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES------------ It is therefore class struggle, namely the Yellow Vests, which are tired by the "lies" issued by the thinking elite (De Paris versus the other cities of the Province) who lives very comfortably, since they aim at Senators, deputies, ministers, high officials, the millionaires of the CAC 40, who earn huge salaries and whose wealth tax ISF, was removed (a few months after the beginning of mandate of President Macron) that they advise to be a tax gift for the rich, who do not need it. The € 3.2 billion was a tax saving that only affects 340 000 taxpayers who represent 1 point of French GDP or € 1000 billion, or 1% of the most fortunate in France.The reinstatement of this tax for the Riches is one of the leading claims, considered a "tax gift for the rich", but especially consider unfair, considering the taxes that affect the poorest. It is an exacerbation of social inequality and social institue in the redistribution of cuttlefish of France ...-------------------------------------------------------------- In reality, the ISF (Taxation on Fortune) has been replaced by the IFI (Real Estate Tax) .In replacing the ISF by a tax on the real estate fortune (IFI), the government will make out of the wealth tax many taxpayers who opted for financial investments at the expense of real estate investments. The cost of reform cost the state € 2bn, In recent years, the ISF has reported more than 5 billion euros each year to the state. And the 2017 budget initially provided nearly 5.4 billion euros in revenue. With these references, the budget cost would be more than 4 billion euros. The removal of the ISF and its replacement by the IFI should save 3.2 billion euros to taxpayers concerned.

THOMAS PIKETTY MULTO AWARDED ECONOMIST THINKS ISF DELETION IS A HISTORICAL FAULT-------------- Thomas Piketty is a renowned French economist, professor at the School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS), associate chair at the Paris School of Economics [1] and Centennial Professor at the International Inequalities Institute, which is part of the London School of Economics (LSE). Piketty is the author of the best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2013), which emphasises the themes of his work on wealth concentrations and distribution over the past 250 years. The book argues that the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future. To address this problem Piketty proposes redistribution through a progressive global tax on wealth.
