So you become a socialist by opposing a tax that benefits over 90% of capitalist enterprises.
Can someone please send a basic education package to Steamwake for the new year as he appears rather lost

90% What the... whered you come up with that number?! :haha:

Oh and I was just agreeing with what the 'socialist led opposition' was stating.

[Tribesman]

90% What the... whered you come up with that number?!
Oh I don't know , perhaps its because over 90% of the business enterprises affected by the proposal would benefit financialy from the proposal.
As to where I got the information from????????
Follow your own links...then again if you actualy followed your own links you would have half as much to say on every topic you want to talk about wouldn't you.

This line is telling:
In all, 93 percent of all industrial carbon emissions in France would have avoided paying the full tax, the constitutional court said in a decision published on its Web site (http://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/conseil-constitutionnel/francais/les-decisions/acces-par-date/decisions-depuis-1959/2009/2009-599-dc/communique-de-presse.46805.html). The tax would have fallen disproportionately on fuel for heating and cars, it said.
