The French Disease

The Frontpage Magazine reports:

Almost all the journalists in France are fervent socialists, as the way they describe events shows. Almost all the teachers and university professors are fervent socialists too. And the students who are in the streets now repeat like puppets what they have been told by trade unionists, leftists, professors, journalists, and socialist politicians. They would like to have jobs and rosy prospects. They do not understand those that are inciting them to protest are those who are primarily responsible for their dark and hopeless situation in the first place. They do not understand that the privileges their parents enjoy have a price and that they are the ones who will have to pay the bill. They don't understand that they themselves are the victims of the privileges of their parents. In fact, they understand nothing about the world they live in because they have been brainwashed since primary school into believing that they deserve a job, a nice car, an apartment, a good salary—all of this immediately—and that the purpose of government is to provide them with all this.

As long as consumers have a choice on where they want to vote with their dollars:lifetime employment isn't possible.The reality is France doesn't want consumers to be able to have choices.That's socialism for you.
