We have a friend from France visiting with us right now. She swears that only 10% of the French people pay income taxes . . . If true, that country is going down the tubes faster than you can say the name of their new president.
There is a lot of information out there regarding Obama's membership in the New Party during his Chicago days. Being a socialist isn't a bad thing, I just disagree with it, especially when the guy pretends to be some sort of free market leader. http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html#anchor792932
americas to the point where fuck it, socialism, just be a lazy ass, collect free money from the government and scam the system is the way to go.

THAT IS NOT OUR CONCERN. just smoke weed, have sex orgies and blog about some sick champagne sunday brunches.
Hollande is going to impose a 75% income tax on the "rich" (those making over $1m in Euros) in France to pay for the socialist welfare state. Next to come will be a law that says you can't leave the country with more than $15k Euros, or so. All fascist/socialistic states have to impose that, because if not, the "rich" just flee the country. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204520204577251051439665674.html Good luck with that, Frenchy. Can't wait to see the chaos that ensues.
Yeah, but can you imagine all the street art and sick food blogging that will result with all that free time with people not working anymore? linen pants for all! :MARIS61:
I don't think there will be chaos... there might be continued bleeding of the French economy, there might be another step taken towards political extremism... but rich folks won't march in the streets over it. They'll change their habits, up to and including leaving the country (as you know). I heard something on NPR this AM (I rarely hear it, but my gf had it going) about how "immigrants build the country" of France. I let out a very hardy guffaw. That sort of thing holds some water in the US, but unless you're going back to the times of the Romans, I think it's hard to really believe immigrants built France. Ed O.
I don't know about officially, but he appointed a self-avowed Marxist (Van Jones) to one of his top cabinet posts early in his term. The president unappointed him within a couple of days, after he was outed by talk radio. Go Blazers
You brought it up, as if it were relevant... and couldn't remember the most important details. (Weren't we just discussing how you seem to ignore context in so many of your posts/threads?)
