Protestors took to the streets in Jordan again Wednesday over tax reform and price increases.

The protests over the past week have been the largest in Jordan for years. Demonstrators said the cost of living is too high and they want the government to scrap a controversial income tax reform bill.   King Abdullah has already appointed a new prime minister and has asked him to form a new government.

The King is also asking for a full review of Jordan’s tax system.
