We have ample examples of Socialism failing all over Europe, yet Democrats in the US will vote for Socialism in November when they support Obama. There are none so blind as those who don’t want to see the results of this folly.
I remember in France they told me that if I purchased perfume, that I could get my TAX money back if I showed them I was a foreigner and at the airport, show that it was merchandise going out of the country. I lost about $300, they supposedly was going to credit my credit card of the taxes on perfumes I got stuck with. France is a TAX, TAX, TAX country.
“We have a culture of social class conflict in which success is not valued, where success becomes suspicious.”
Says it all, right there.
Methinks that they are rapidly running out of other people’s money! Just another effort to see how gullible an electorate can be.
Are American voters listening? That is the ones who aren’t posting to Twitter about killing Romney for removing their food stamp entitlement or PBS funding or Planned Parenthood ...
But aren’t the rich just supposed to bend over and take it?
France depends in large part on tourism.
They can kiss this good bye...
“May?”
Entrepreneurs use resources to make resources
This includes hiring people to do jobs
If an Entrepreneur does not project a positive return on the project
They do not hire, do not create new resources
No Companies,
No Mom and Pop stores,
No Construction,
No Entrepreneurial Efforts.

This is what happens in Socialist Countries
The Economy stops, requiring threats of punishment to continue.
This is stupid
I know several older, very wealthy Swedes who lived through the 60s and 70s. They used to tell me that when the Swedish government raised taxes on high incomes to 90% with no deductions, their companies simply stopped paying them and gave them other types of benefits. Libs just don’t understand that the rich are not going to work for free. If most of incremental income is taken, no one is going to want to bust their hump to earn it.
“He had said, ‘I think you are just what we are looking for.’”
But when co-founder Valentin Squirelo introduced himself last week to a senior executive there, he was asked, “Are you French? Is this a French startup?”
Mr. Squirelo nodded yes. The executive raised her hands and said, “No, we don’t go there.” ... “They all told us to come back in 2013.”
I guess French businessmen shouldn’t have backed the Socialists.
Oh well.
The French need to pay their taxes and shut the hell up. Their government is broke. :)
Robespierre leads the way
Ya think?
