France Folds - Will The US?

America should not bow to mob rule. It is NOT Democracy. The reality is that there are far more Americans who would prefer some reasonable but serious changes made on immigration policy and processes. The trouble is, most of them will be at work while some others are marching around.

I didn't realize being an illegal alien came with such great job security. Has anyone stopped to wonder how so many of these people can manage that?

They aren't even all that representative of many hard working immigrants here holding down regular jobs. If they were, they wouldn't be holding them down today, now would they? Will the MSM care to answer us that? I doubt it.

Witness this. The French government knows it needs employment reform to better compete for business in a global marketplace. Would you hire a 20 - 26 year old if you knew you basically had to employ them for life? Would you hire anyone under such circumstances? Could you afford to?

So much for the glories of the socialist state. The protesters will only want more government services over time, but they aren't willing to take responsibility for earning their way over the long haul. They want that guaranteed. Imagine an America where every industry was run with the efficiency and management practices of our government bureaucracy. The world's leading economy, ours, wouldn't be nearly as vigorus and resilient as it is and every hard working person would ultimately suffer.

Instead of the harder you work, the more you get - it becomes foolish to work any longer or harder than the average. So every effort becomes watered down. There's no incentive for an individual to do anything else but be average.

Many Liberals and Dems wouldn't mind going there with the US in the end. It's absolutely in line with what the far left preaches. Everything for everyone, with noone but government accountable to pick up the cost. It's a dream state that doesn't offer genuine individuals anything; it seeks to make everyone simply part of a mass.

Be mindful of the immigration rallies which will be taking place. The MSM may give us one picture, but the Far Left won't be far behind. In many cases they are marching right out in front. via Malkin

And as for France, well, so much for enlightened cowardly Jacques Chirac and Dominique de Villepin. Here and below.

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac scrapped a youth job law on Monday after weeks of angry unrest, in a climbdown that undermined his prime minister and handed protesters victory.

Chirac's decision was a personal blow to Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who had championed the First Job Contract (CPE) as a vital job-creating reform of the French economy but had seen his popularity slump as mass opposition grew.

The government U-turn over the CPE makes it unlikely France will attempt broader reform of its highly-regulated labour market before 2007, some economists said.

Funnies on France via Dr. Sanity:

By all means, let the protests go on! Soon perhaps, France can achieve the perfect dead-end society socialist paradise

With more from Gateway Pundit, too.

Besides the rioting and torchings, the students raided the Sorbonne and destroyed several of the ancient and rare books from the library.

Myelna, interesting how you praise the system in the netherlands,you praise socialisim, yet you are reaping the benefits of the capitalist US. You said you are only 38 and your salary is over a million dollars and you pay 80,000 a year for private schooling. You also mentioned that you used to be poor and then worked hard, so I'm assuming the system in the US has treated you well. You say life is harder in the US with expensive healthcare and taxes, but you must be doing something wrong if you are struggling financially making over a mill a year.

jimmy : my husband and I work for a DUTCH company in the States (this company is in the nr 100 list of largest companies worldwide), if you didn't know there are a lot of Europen companies in the States providing millions of US citizens works. So now you have it, I married an American, live in two countries, work for a Dutch company and travel worldwide....

You haven't been reading my messages very well (the taxes in the Netherlands are high not in the USA for instance) and NO i'm really not struggling at all financially ... you could have figured that out right?

for Chez Diva I fully agree with you on the social matters. Regarding the numbers of Christians in the USA you would think most of them would be social. Jesus was nothing but social ... i wonder what happened?

My family come over for a month next week, In july we will be heading back to Amsterdam for a couple of months and do a European tour....
Hope all is well with you and your family....

I guess i thought you were having a harder time here in the states because of your comment above, "Life here in the States is harder." See it get confusing when you dont mean what you say. Yes, you obviously are not struggling if you can afford 80K private schooling. The average salary of U.S. household is around 40-45K. But its generous you can donate money so people can live the same lifestyle as you.

oh jimmy yes first you take care of yourself and then the rest :) Luckily I don't need so much. Yes life in the States is much harder when you are a typical earner in the States, you worry about where and how to put your kids to school (in the Netherlands thats for free, and there are only public schools, yes about 2 or 3 private schools, but they are there for foreign people), healthcare for children is free.

So yes if I was a typical earner I would prefer living in the Netherlands. (did I mention they also give you 120$ childallowance each month per kid).

But should I feel quilty now that we earn so much ? I don't, if I don't have the job someone else will gladly take my job :) so instead I do give back, pay taxes to Uncle Sam here, pay taxes to the Netherlands, Pay another 10-20 % to charity and local things, and help out my friends and family, ....
