The French have real Freedom of movement in their country!

France abolished car tax in 2001. Liberty in a modern Republic means having the freedom to drive on your country's roads, without fear of penal laws. This is not the case in the Irish Republic, due to the excessive penal annual car tax on pre 2008 cars. €544 per annum for a €800 1.6L car! €906 per annum for a €800 2L car! However, the French have an oppressive Home Tax System which forces the less well off to live in hovels in little villages (EU shanty towns).
