Can France Be Saved....From itself?

So Dawn, when did you start giving a hoot about France? Glad to see you are concerned about one of our neighbors in Europe.

Socialism only "works" if there are enough capitalists to pay the bill.

I like that. Did you make it up yourself? It certainly is true enough. Look at China right now.

Not necessarily concerned but certainly the path that they are on is noteworthy. Its important to look at how they got there so we don't follow the same path. BTW, I am part French.

She just can't resist the temptation to take pot shots.

So true.

I know, you've mentioned it several times. France has been around for centuries with it's share of ups and downs and I'm sure it can survive some strife. Any chance of us going down the same road? Highly doubtful. American workers getting to the level of benefits the French have? Private industry and government in this country have been taking away what little perks we have for years now, not giving them. We have hardly any perks left to riot about!

Yes, I came up with it myself some time ago when I was arguing with leftist chess coach.

(He was a good guy and all, but we really got into it some times.)

Yo...did Charade just pop in with posts 18-20 with nothing to say, just to stir up the debate, then ditch on us? What's up with that? C'mon, Charade, you've got to get more involved than that, man!! We need opinions or you'll be forced to hand in your Dick Cheney approved bb gun and super-secret 'lil terrorist hunter badge!
