2. What a novel idea!
Under French tax incentives, introduced in January, buyers of new cars that emit less than 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer receive bonus payments of 200 euros to 1,000 euros. Vehicles emitting more than 160 grams incur a tax of 200 euros to 2,600 euros.


Use the tax code to *encourage* lower carbon and pollution output and higher fuel economy, and *discourage* waste??

*Help* the market work in the *public* interest?

Fucking knew all along those Frenchies were Commies!

Bring back Freedom Fries!!

:rofl:
