Get displaced and eliminated by muslims courtesy of the ruling elite.
Pam sounds Trumpian.
Sounds like France’s ‘working poor’ includes their middle class.
The continuously robbed masses know in their hearts that they’re fodder, are fed up, and are getting pissed. In many places.
The EU is stacked full of dry tinder, and sparks are blowing around. America is on the same path.
They now have a counter example in President Trump.
And they don't give a crap about carbon emissions targets if the solution is in their wallets.
The problem is that a lefty doesn’t know who to root for in France right now. Macron jacked taxes through the roof in order to force the people off of fossil fuels and “save” them from the evils of climate change. The peasants, who never miss an opportunity to vote for more lefty policies, are suddenly finding their cost of living going through the roof so they’re biting the hand that feeds them. Macron’s shaking his head trying to figure out why they’re so ungrateful at him for trying to save them from themselves. They’re ticked off because it was supposed to be the rich that got taxed more, not them.
I love the line about France having the best health care system in the world. That guy obviously doesn’t get outside of France much. French health care is bordering on third world. I have a colleague that had to be rushed to a Parisian hospital for an emergency procedure, they almost killed him. He said the place was barbaric, unsanitary and patients stacked on gurneys in the hallways.
French hospitals are so bad that many years ago American expats living in Paris got together and opened their own hospital so they could get U.S. quality care. The problem now is that they’ll take anyone that can pay so the wealthy french pay to use the American Hospital in order to get away from the french medical system. The hospital fills up quickly and often American expats can’t get admitted.

As Ann Coulter has pointed out, along with her usual reams of evidence, the French Revolution was a revolution based on Left Wing ideas and causes, and that's why they have what they have.
Our Revolution, on the other hand, was based on conservative values and causes.
Aux barricades! A bas les aristos!
I always said Pamela Anderson is a lot more than just a pretty face.
The maxim a government big enough to take of you turns out to be a government NOT big ebough to take care of you.
As it stands, despite oppressive levels of taxation, the French state is increasingly incapable of meeting that responsibility.
Its one thing to hand over everything in your wallet when all your cares are taken care of and life’s worries don’t stress you out.
When the state breaks the social contract with you to do that, what people once accepted passively has become intolerable.
In a word, the dirigiste state is gone but nothing has arisen to replace it.
..... Silly Question ..... It's Europe .... The answer will always be, as with our New Generation in America ........... "Free Stuff"... or More Higher Subsidized stuff ....

There is a new dawning in socialist Europe with the influx of migrants. For years the people of each country all participated in the system with the expectation that each would receive a similar amount to what he or she contributed. No more!
Now they are living in a world that we in the US have known for decades. The French are paying ever higher taxes but a huge percentage of government largesse is going to people who have contributed nothing and who despise the society that is providing for them.
The author asks “What is the endgame for the French working poor?” Hard to say how it will turn out. But either they fight for themselves or accept state sanctioned extermination.
On fb they are planning a protest for this Sat. I suggest you get on twitter if you are not there yet.
Eventually people get bored and go home.
