Takers Overwhelm Producers in France

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: So a lot of people are asking me, "What does this mean, the election of the avowed socialist in France, Monsieur Hollande? What does it mean?" It means that France is gone. It means that there are more people on the take than there are producing, pure and simple. They fell for it. Don't think Obama hasn't noticed this. What it means? It only means what it means for France. It's impossible to extrapolate this, unless you want to say that we've become France. And if we have become France...

I don't think we're there yet, but this guy promised to raise taxes on the top 1% by 75%, a millionaires tax or what have you, and everybody went for it. He's only the second avowed socialist ever elected in French history. The first was Mitterrand in the eighties. They said "no" to austerity. They said, "We're not gonna cut back government. We're not gonna cut spending. We're not! No, no, no. I want my goodies; I want my benefits." The French rich are leaving the country, Snerdley. There are accompanying stories about the French elite, the wealthy elite making plans to go to Great Britain.

I don't know how wise that is. (chuckling) No, there are stories. I don't know if there's gonna be a genuine Exodus out of France among these targets, but they clearly are targets, and there are more people... Look, you have perpetual unemployment of 14%. And I don't know if they doctor their numbers like Obama does here. But if they do unemployment in France is higher than 14%. But the thing is, it's constant. Whatever the number is in France, that unemployment number is constant. It's accepted. It is the norm.

And there are more people on the take than there are producing, and those people turned out in greater numbers. And don't think Obama's not noticing that. Now, Obama went out... I don't know if it means anything for the United States, folks. And anybody who tells you that they do know what it means for our election is engaging in wishful thinking. There's no way anybody can extrapolate. To the extent that we are France, I've never heard that connection made. It would have to be made for there to be some relationship to the French electorate and ours.

And I don't think there is much. But we're trending that direction. There's no question about that. And the same thing... Where else was it that they said they didn't want austerity? Was it Germany? What was the other country? I'm having a mental block. There were two elections. Merkel is holding steady... No, maybe Greece. I forget which. But regardless... Yeah, it's Greece. We all knew this was coming. We all suspected that it was coming, that when you have more takers, they're gonna continue to vote for it.

They're not prepared to start working.

They haven't been working; they're not prepared.

“Gimme gimme gimme”....and pretty soon all the money will be gone and we’ll have riots in the streets.

The end game will be a planet-wide crackdown on all of mankind. A relatively small group of “Third Wave” elites will operate a global technocracy that will be answerable to no one.

It will be “for the children” of course.

And that’s how Obama came about, too.

Along with the “mark” that will monitor all monetary transactions.

I also believe that is what will happen. The seeds of financial collapse brought about by endless debt are sprouting. And it is being done on purpose to create the world government.

They will ultimately be answerable to God and it will not go well for them.

I wonder if there is a country on the planet that would look at the producers of the world and welcome them in without expecting them to pay for the entire country

imagine that.. a country people could move to that would welcome all equally... yet encourage individual achievement, not punish it

that country would quickly ‘brain drain’ the other countries... and would soon become the richest on the planet with the highest avg standard of living

I agree. The ruling elite class has been boiling the frog since at least the 60's and he is about done. Add in a one world religion and you have total control. Even if Romney wins we cannot stop the momentum. BLOAT.

I’ve heard that there are 300 million guns in America and possibly 80 million gun owners. I’ve also heard that DHS had an order for 450 million rounds of ammunition. I have been unable to verify that.

It may be an interesting ride.

IIRC, Canada made out pretty well back in the mid 1990s, enticing educated and wealthy residents of Hong Kong to relocate before the Chicoms took over in '97.

Meanwhile, we stuck with our "teeming refuse" immigration policies.

Canada’s also as socialist, if not more so, then the US

I’m looking to avoid those people... as they get very grabby of other peoples money once their socialistic programs start crushing the country (momentum takes a while before slowing to a halt)

Canada is also a unique case. Socialism can succeed to a far greater extent when a nation is willing to sell its natural resources in order to fund it, which Canada certainly is. Couple that with a low population density and it could be a very long time before they really feel the weight of their social programs.

The U.S. is taking the opposite approach - barring the utilization of natural resources while increasing social spending to support a large and ever-growing population (A/K/A, the southern 2/3rds of NAFTA).

If you see them congregating at Hastings, look out!
