Briefly, the message was this: we can’t make ends meet. The cost of living keeps going up, and our incomes keep going down. We just can’t take it anymore. The government must stop, think and change course.

You guys are reading way too much into this. The French, and all of Europe for that matter, are like 90%+ socialist. They are protesting taxes because they think too much of the burden of their socialism is being put on the people. They want more shifted to evil corporations and rich people.

Don't be fooled, they are not revolting for a small government more freedom agenda.

The majority of "Gas Taxes" were/are going to be used to fund the endless GIBBZ going to the street-shitting Rapefugees currently living off their welfare programs.
