Socialists believe that there’s only one thing better than socialism: more socialism.

The god of state.

If we were smart, we would be lowering business taxes and startup costs and encourage rich people to move here and bring their businesses along.

If we can keep energy prices low using natural gas for electricity generation, we can insource their IT and datacenters, and chemical plants easily.

Same with Japan, by the way. Their factories need electricity, and they just shut down every one of their nuclear reactors.

Or we can totally blow the opportunity.

"*Cut French president’s and Cabinet ministers’ pay by 30 percent. "

Well at least he got one thing nearly right, although I'd cut it to at least 60%.

I suppose Hollande has a special sauce that goes well with Greec(as)e? Hollandaise perhaps.

LOL! Good luck with that.

Ok, luck doesn’t matter. We know how this ends, and, well.... I can’t help but laugh.

I just hope the producers get out before the borders are closed.

He’s got one good idea, cutting the pols pay.

I guess the wealthy in France are already packing their bags.

They’ve seen this movie before.

BTW, I just bought a kindle book, a novel of the french revolution. It’s called “A Place of Greater Safety” by Hillary Mantel. It’s about Danton, Robspierre and Demoullin (sp?). The author just won the Man Booker prize for another book about Henry VIII.

I hope she’s not a psycho lefty and that it’s good. It got very good reviews.

I just didn’t feel like reading about Henry VIII, he’s responsible for so much misery even to this day.

Of course, so are the protagonists in the other book, but at least that group got what it deserved in the end.

Has any one here read any of her stuff?

*Scrap Sarkozy’s 1.2 percent VAT increase.

About the only tax policy of Hollande's that makes sense.

Hire 150,000 youths in state-subsidized jobs over the next five years.

They might as well, because all those tax increases will only ensure that the number of non-state-subsidized jobs goes down.

PING!

The Obama-Soros-Clinton-CIA machine has manipulated and controlled the outcomes of elections in the US and around the world.

France is simply the next nation to fall victim.

The French have passed the point where a majority of gimmee guys and gals can vote themselves more of the workers money.
Of course they ae doomed because the producers will simply leave rather then pay tax rates of 75%.

Unfortunately we are rapidly aproaching that same point.

Europe will end up in turmoil and start another war sooner rather than later.

Things are not looking up.

All the Muslims they let in and onto the voting rolls tipped the balance to the Socialists. I predict it’s all downhill for France from here on. The wealthy and productive middle class who can get out will start emigrating to London and elsewhere.

I can't wait to see what the markets do in response to this attempted national suicide.

Hollande is proposing...once he crosses the threshold of the Élysée Palace the hard door of reality will slam him silly.
