the spoiled french
The French go on massive strikes due to president Sarkozy’s suggestion that the retirement age be raised from 60 to–61 or 62.
This is the kind of spoiled brat mentality that I don’t want to happen to the US. While some believe that capitalism eventually degrades into socialism (to some degree), perhaps Fabian socialism degrades into something like the diseased French economy (or eventually, something far worse).
And what are the negative externalities of a faltering economy? In the case of the French, an inability to absorb millions of immigrants and the car burnings and other crime that results from millions of idle hands.
