My God have you been F'ed up by a lifetime of propaganda.
The French have the balls to go out and put up a fight when the powers that be take away something they have always had. They do it everytime and so maintain a much better lifestyle than Americans.
Americans roll over and play dead whenever govt or corporations are taking more and more away from us. Post retirement medical plans, pension plans, libraries, public schools where you don't have to pay fees for every little thing, our right to privacy, to face our accuser in court, etc. And now they are coming for our Social Security and Medicare. And you will roll right over, thinking how tough you are to do without.
We can afford 400 billionaries and $1 trillion per year in unaudited "defense" spending. But nothing for the citizenry
You are like the con in jail who has spent so much time locked up he cannot live on the outside. You are so used to getting screwed by the few that you know no other way. You and your grinning slave mentality
