France is a semi authoritarian state ruled by about 1000 famlies and has been for centuries. It has only a veneer of democracy. The population are sheep and even people who "work" in France are partially on the dole.

The underclass is needed by the elite, both in the US and in Europe. The underclass is the threat the elite hold against the middle-class: keep paying taxes and don't complain, or we will unleash our animals against your neighborhoods

That has an element of truth in it. Keep paying your taxes and towing the line or else you will live among the animals.

This is Euro-Socialism in action. This is the economic agenda of the Democratic Party in the USA.

This is RAT dreamland.

The RATs want to be the New Aristocray in America, lording it over all those disgraceful greedy business-people, taxing them into submission, and building a huge army of vagabonds to enforce the New Socialist Order.

This is the RAT vision for America. This is their Utopia.
