This is why millions of French people will vote Marine Le Pen for president
The Local (English version French News) ^ | 04/23/2017 | Staff

Posted on 04/23/2017 1:49:26 PM PDT by Kid Shelleen

Marine Le Pen has lambasted by her rivals, criticised by leading economists and business leaders, declared public enemy number one by most politicians outside her party and had war declared on her by sextremists Femen.

Yet on Sunday in the first round of the French presidential election somewhere between seven and eight million French people are expected to vote for her as the next president of France.

We asked some of those voters who attended her raucous rally in Paris to tell us why, in just one sentence or two.

POPULATION OH NOES!

Birthrate nonsense.

Population does not increase forever.

Population can successfully be a fraction of the current.

Population fake predictions are globalist lies to justify invasion.

Please, no more population myths unless you have PROOF society crashes at a specific level.

Better yet, explain “Economic Productivity”.
Do 10 farmers population ratio still support 1 city folk??

Oh noes! 1 to 10 farmers is dire! Hide in your survival shelter.

Truth is people have NO CLUE what a nation’s ideal population should be.

Truth is a nation’s population can drop to 1/100 while life improves. It’s a Fact, Jack! lol

If there was not an elaborate cradle to grave welfare state, your points would be relevant.

One thing about Europeans: they don’t cry misogyny when their female candidates lose. American females ought to mature.

I am not your research monkey.

Go crack open a book.

Compare high population areas with high per capita income areas. There are low dense areas with high incomes.

Per capita wealth is more correlated with liberty over high population. China/India have high density population, but slave poverty.

Why would France or USA desire to import slave poverty??

When I was a teen, Newark NJ, had the world’s high population density, almost by a factor of two. Look it up. But many would consider it a low quality of life.

Nothing is sacred about population. Decline has it’s benefits. Most people would enjoy 3 homes instead of 1 or 1/2. Agenda 21 small coffin homes are a product of high population.

Global banks push population propaganda to justify mass migration, invasion and debt. Debt selling is the bottom line.

Either the West makes drastic cuts to welfare(excellent idea, good luck getting govs doing that), start reproducing(excellent idea, but is related to the welfare state being the daddy and weening people off it) or bring in immigrants(fking stupid idea).

Pick one.

A picture is worth a thousand deceits.

False dilemma. Population myth.

Choose one.

The USA cannot sustain it’s huge Government size on the current population. Unionist socialists want golden cadillac benefits to teach children and ‘care’ for the elderly. Benefits like cruise ships and early retirement, funny how they scam after children and the elderly, and rip them off.

Big Govt grabs 60 or 70% of the wealth, and wastes it on cruise ships and plain waste. It can run on a mere 2%.

All that lost productivity is stored in there.

Reduce Govt care, elderly wins.
Reduce Govt hospice, elderly wins.
Processed food has 10x productivity locked inside, corn to cattle, so much that farmers now grow destructive ethanol.

If the USA population rose to a Billion People, your Govt would just vaccum up all the gain.

The pictures are factual. The ratio of workers to retires is becoming inverted. People are living longer, less people are being born. Both indisputable facts.

That is an excellent visual but I think the situation is even worse than that. How many bureaucrats and welfare cheats are being supported by the honest workers in addition to the elderly?

Global banks also push population control. Nobody needs to live like rats in a cage. I’ve never heard of a global bank pushing for high population.

Your points are interesting, though.

The problem has nothing to do with population but the ratio of people working(+) and the people they are supporting(-). It is at a crisis point.

That’s total nonsense. Immigration is the bigger issue. Economic policies can be adjusted relatively easily.

You also need to understand that the people in France willing to vote for the FN are mostly poor and working class people who will not vote for a party that wants to slash pensions and favor bosses over workers.

The rich people who want to have less government spending refuse to vote FN no matter what, so why would the FN pander to them?

The FN in the 80’s had Thatcher style economic policies, but they couldn’t get many votes. They became a player after embracing economic populism. Same with Trump here. A lot of conservatives are in denial about this, but Trump ran against the typical conservative positions on economic issues. Trump said he will preserve the social security system and made positive comments about government provided healthcare in the debates.
