Taxes And Elections: Here, There, And Everywhere

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : This comes across as a cynical plea for youth votes -- not unlike a campaign pledge to exempt tips and gratuities from taxable income, or the forgiveness of student debt.
54% : One of Sheinbaum's immediate challenges will be to get a grip on public spending, or to find a way to boost tax revenues.
47% : In context, the death metaphor refers to the Fifth Republic displaying a shade less enthusiasm for European integration.
44% : The threat of holding back EU funding will be ear-candy to euroskeptics, but the gesture is unlikely to impress others.
43% : It's also unlikely to have the desired effect on French finances because any withheld funding would eventually be countered with matching reductions in EU disbursements.
33% : The latter option sounds like a violation of EU and eurozone rules.
