The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, wants to increase taxes on the rich. He wants to raise money for the fight against climate change.
He also wants to make it easier for the poor to pay their fair share of the cost of living. But critics say he is overreacting to a crisis that has been brewing for years. They say it's time for the rich to pay more for their public services. The president says he wants to help the poor by making it easier to pay for their health care and education.
