I'm not in France, so I can only go by what I see in the media.
The rich got tax cuts, while Macron piled on taxes that seriously hurt the middle class.
Another problem is that 79% of French citizens say that they have had enough unfettered immigration. As part of this uncontrolled immigration, taxes have had to go up to support these people.
Many of the things happening in France are happening in the rest of the west.
Sweden had to raise its retirement age from 60 to 69 to fund the welfare for the migrants. Previously, they had a 5 year surplus in their state pension fund, meaning they could have lowered the retirement age to 55. That is a 14 year loss in their state pension fund, solely due to migrants coming to the country so they can get welfare.
