Not sure but I'm seeing 2 different conversations here: flat tax on what you pay at the pump... and what the company reports as profit at the end of the day.
France doesn't care if you make a profit or not on the 8.50... just like Apple doens't care when they take 30% off the top.
Am I reading it wrong? Is it 15% off the top ala Apple Store? or 15% off of profits? both of which are different conversations.
Looking at the article, it seems like a nothing burger until it's voted in officially... The Paris Accord was "passed"... and then left because it was just a verbal agreement. What's enforcing this and stopping the next POTUS from leaving it all together?
