Clichés, my sisters and my mothers speaks tree languages (LEA), and they are socialists...
Then they probably did not use their language skills to learn about other cultures because i dont know a single country in the developed world that has the type of socialists that France has. And please dont answer the Scandinavians.
Of course, DSK is the perfect example...(ironie je précise)
If you believe Strauss-Kahn is a socialist you are more naive than those who think he didn't rape that woman in NY. How could he be a socialist, when his wife could buy half of France? Or Else it is the climax of Hypocrisy.
Ca me fait pleurer de voir que depuis la crise de 2008 les grands patrons ont augmenté leurs salaires, que les banques n'ont jamais fait autant de bénéfices, que les entreprises du CAC40 sont moins taxés que les petites PME (6% de moins si je ne dis pas de bétises),
VonRoust, you dont know what you're talking about. I know because I work for a bank.
A bank, my dear friend is the blood of the economy, it is the water that keeps businesses alive, and the businesses are what pays for all the nice perks you socialists constantly feed off. Without a bank, no business and without business no social programs.
Right now, the French banks are trying to survive an unprecedented wave of doubts in the market fueled by decades of demagogy. If the French banks fall, I ASSURE you that France will collapse. When Aubry says let's have the banks pay for the Frenchmen's retirement, it is like saying, "let's feed the golden goose hen to the dog because he barks and I cant sleep."
Banks NEED to make money because it is their job to keep the economy alive and the competition is fierce. If your own banks cant do it, foreign banks will do the job. In the Middle Age Christians were not allowed to lend money with a fee. So the Jews did it and became very rich.
You just cant kill your banks.... ask Stalin how he did it without banks....
qu'on nous demande de gros efforts
Give me a F*****g break!!! Every time I go to France i see nothing but people on vacation or retired. Some friends recently retired gave me their program for 2011: "We went first on vacation near St-Tropez, in the spring. Then we visited our son in Paris and London. In the summer we visited the Chateau de la Loire and we went to Berlin. We can give you the hotel list. Very nice! In the fall we returned to our house near St-Tropez. We will stay there for a month. After that we might return to Paris for a while and then Strasbourg"
By the way, they are not "rich"; the man was a clerk for a building company and the woman was a teacher (both socialists of course). Very hard life.
Do you know how much vacation i have in New York in my "bad" bank? 4 weeks and I am very lucky. If I am lucky enough I can perhaps hope to retire when I turn 70.
Most Americans retire only to get another job.... so PLEASE!!! DONT TELL ME ABOUT THE "GROS EFFORTS" OF THE FRENCH!!!
qu'un riche peut investir dans son patrimoine pour réduire ses impôts (un comble), etc...
What is "un comble" is that people like Anne Sainclair does not pay taxes on her paintings, even though they are worth billions.
True socialists like Fabius made sure this wouldn't happen...
Liberté/égalité/fraternité...sauf pour ceux qui en ont les moyens financiers!
Again you haven't lived in another country so you dont know what you are talking about. There is more freedom, equlity and social fraternity in France than in any other country I have lived in or visited.
By constantly pointing the finger at the Rich they will leave for good (or at least their money will leave) and invest elsewhere.
If Liliane Bettencourt moves tomorrow L'oreal to Switzerland, you can't do anything about it. But she should do it to show you!
Let the swiss welcome the jobs created by someone rich, that you, apparently despise....
The only reason she doesn't do it is because she is a true French patriot and she knows it is important for France.
She also know that she would save a ton of money by simply moving away....
France has lost sanity.... the country is completely out of touch with reality and this is why it will collapse. After that, hopefully it can be rebuilt anew...
