Young ambitious French people yearning to breathe free, come to America and help us breathe free again.
“The strategy of fixing the system by collecting new revenue is reaching its limits.”
i.e. “We’re running out of OPM.”
“You’ll be surprised you’re doing the French Mistake..Voila!”
Financial oligarchs (new world order) created a philosophy - socialism.
It’s a clever lie fed to the “little people”, i.e., those without much net worth.
It’s not a political movement - it’s a philosophical outlook on life. The big government has to save us from the big evil financial oligarchs. Join the effort to nationalize everything to get it out of the hands of big business.
Of course, nationalizing industries is actually handing them over to these financial oligarch monopolists - since they control the financing of the government and control the businesses (through their boards) that are awarded government contracts.
You would think the little people would catch on when they see the financial oligarch interests typically avoiding taxes, while the little people pay one tax or the other.
But the philosophy of socialism was successfully implanted in the public’s mind as being separate and distinct from the financial elites that created it.
The “spiral” is that the little people of the world keep looking to socialism to save them, when it was invented by the elites to enslave them.

Just like Demorats that leave a heavily taxed blue state and bring their politics with them into the low tax red state they migrate to, I fear that many of the French would bring the “disease” with them, and vote for big government largesse at every opportunity. Its in their blood.
P.S. I know a liberal couple that just moved to central Florida to escape high taxes in their blue state. They will support and continue voting for the same policies that caused them to leave the blue state.
It’s a clever lie fed to the “little people”, i.e., those without much net worth.

Basically, a promise that you can have something for nothing. All it takes is a simple vote at the ballot box.

People whine about taxes, yet they will vote for statists out of fear of seeming cruel to the poor. Stupid policy. Fear God more than man.
The emigrants from Calachusetts left because of the high taxes and high crime and the poverty that impinged on their conscioiusness and the constant government meddling and regulation of their lives. They love their new state. At breakfast one morning Bill puts down his NYT and says, “Honey, this could be even better if there were a few more services.”
Every socialist's economic nightmare.
Isn’t it normal to complain about taxes?
It's not just in their blood, it's in their mitochondria. They invented socialism.
French - the ultimate Locust Voter.
Free lunch! Come and get your free lunch. Here, comrade, have a free sandwich. The bread for that sandwich was delivered with the free labor of the delivery driver. She is riding in a delivery van assembled with the free labor of workers on an assembly line. Heck, the tires for that van were produced by the free labor of the workers at the tire plant. And the fuel for that van? Why it was produced by the free labor of the workers at the oil refinery.And the fuel was sold by an employee working for free at a gas station. The bakery that made that bread has free employees. A truck driver, working for free, delivered the flour to the bakery. He was using some of that fuel produced by the free employees at the refinery. The mill that ground the wheat into flour did so with the labor of a bunch of people doing it for free. And of course, the electricity to run the flour mill was produced using the free labor of the people working for the electrical company. And that power came down lines that are repaired for free by free linemen. Now, the wheat for the flour is grown by farmers who work for free. They use a tractor that employees at a factory worked for free to build. The farmer used herbicides that scientists developed for free. The farmers also used fertilizer that fertilizer factory employees were only too happy to work for free to produce. Oh, and the farmer borrowed free money from the employees who work for free at the bank. So, you see, there is a lot of labor that goes into just making the bread for your free sandwich. I guess there’s some free labor required to chew that bread.”
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
I love Paris. It’s a shame what’s happening. I think they can turn it around. It’s a great country to vacation to. The French get a bad wrap in our country, but I’ve met many of them and overall they were very nice people and they do love America and Americans.
I went there a few months ago, the countryside was awesome.
But damn they got a lot of Arabs in Paris.
A true and factual example of my tagline...
Remember that in the US, when considering the size of government, you have to consider Federal (about 24 to 25% of budget, up from 20 to 21% in past), State (maybe 8 to 10%), and City (depends... maybe another 4 to 6%, not sure here). When you add up US government, you get to somewhere over 40%, not counting various “mandates” which are a drag but hard to quantify.
My economist brother-in-law estimates total US government expenditures and passed along costs at roughly 45%, or did a few years ago.
To paraphrase Nixon about Keynes, “We are all socialists now.”
