They are not anti-wealth, they think the wealthy should have higher taxes, that does not mean they are against them being wealthy. And even with that, their FIRST demand is that it is written into the constitution that no one can be taxed more than 25% of their income.
Here's a list of their demands in English, and being a conservative, you shouldn't have a problem with many of them.

I just posted their demands in English right above this, while of course some of them are not going to be acceptable, most of them are pretty right on, even in a conservative point of view.Pjmm wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 2:58 pmOkay how about English for those of us who took French thirty years ago.

The protesters need to worry about themselves. People are free to donate money as they so choose.

Well, let me take that back, CNN is saying "some people" said it's a sign of inequality- fine... I'm sure some people said that.
Fox news is acting like Notre Dame is the REASON these people are "Returning" to their protests... THAT is a lie.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paris-fran ... 019-04-20/The protesters are angry at high taxes and economic injustice. Many protesters were deeply saddened by the recent fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, but at the same time they are angry at the $1 billion in Notre Dame donations that poured in from tycoons while their own demands remain largely unmet and they struggle to make ends meet.

https://www.npr.org/2019/04/20/71547017 ... h-in-parisProtesters set ablaze a car, motorbikes and barricades near the Place de la République as they took to the streets of Paris and other French cities for the 23rd Saturday in a row, the Associated Press reported. This time they say they are outraged the government could raise more than a billion dollars to help restore the burned Notre Dame cathedral, while their demands to fight wealth inequality remain overlooked.
