France: Socialist President Hollande 'Hates the Poor' Says Ex Valérie Trierweiler
International Business Times ^ | September 3, 2014 | Umberto Bacchi

Francois Hollande's former partner says that France's socialist president hates the poor, in her potentially explosive memoirs she penned after the collapse of their relationship earlier this year.

In Merci Pour Ce Moment ('Thank You For This Moment') Valérie Trierweiler claims that, in private, the leftist leader refers to the less wealthy with scorn, calling them "the toothless".

"He portrays himself as a man who does not like the rich. In reality, the president does not like the poor," Trierweiler wrote. "He, the man of the left, calls them 'the toothless', very proud of his humour."

In another passage leaked to French media ahead of the book' s publication, which is scheduled for tomorrow, the France's former first lady wrote that he expressed dislike for her working-class parents.

The Lear Jet Leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. They will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.

These phony French socialists are nothing but predictable - their elitist attitudes, their policies, their sex lives. Its like they are caricatured characters in a cheap novel.

Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu habitually referred to his own subjects as “the idiots”.

My commie, labor union boss, British uncle dumped his wife and abandoned his family to live on his yacht with his mistress. He retired two years early on accumulated sick time.

He too loves the poor.

Socialists hate the poor EVERYWHERE. In a wrong-headed attempt to “lift” the poor, only the more well-to-do are equalized in any way, by becoming as poor as the least common denominator. The socialist then blames these newly poor for “not doing more” to make the previously much smaller “poor” class more wealthy, and thus fund their schemes even more lavishly.

This is much like cutting off one end of a blanket, and sewing it on the other end, to make it longer. There was some degree of critical thinking that was missing.

Not surprising.
All their talk about equality is only a means of rallying the poor to become useful to the elites.
Promise everything so the poor will cast their vote, then the poor will languish in squalor until the next election when they have to listen to all the same useless promises again.
The poor still vote for the commies, no matter how many times they get screwed.
No wonder commie elites have such contempt for the masses.

For a second, I thought it said: Francis: Socialist President Hollande 'Hates the Poor'

I thought Francis had seen the light.
