Appearently the clueless French Prime Minister thinks the wealthy got wealthy by being stupid.

[JustRalph]

Only in France can you ask a man for 3 of every 4 dollars he makes, then call Him greedy when he protests

[HUSKER55]

Ralph, there is a name for those kind of people. Socialist, communists, democrats, liberals, union bosses, organized crime and Robin Hood.


(Robin Hood-steal from the rich then give it to the........rulers) :D

[horses4courses]

So rich in history and culture....the birthplace of modern democracy.....yet so unappreciated in current western society.

Like school on a Saturday.......no class :rolleyes:

[Tom]

So many snobs, so little soap.

Socialists Denounce Gérard Depardieu for Leaving France (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/13/world/europe/gerard-depardieu-called-pathetic-for-leaving-france.html?_r=0)


On Wednesday, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault weighed
in, calling Mr. Depardieu’s choice “rather pathetic.”
“He’s a great star, everyone loves him as an artist,”
Mr. Ayrault told the France 2 television channel on Wednesday, but “to pay a tax is an act of solidarity, a patriotic act.”

i guess he just doesn't appreciate France

I do.

The quality of life is extraordinary unless you don't care about food, drink, beauty, weather, and horseracing.

Just thought I'd point that out amid the "Freedom Fries".

It's one place that I really love to visit, but then again I'm one of those people who can appreciate the people and culture of a country while at the same time holding a critical view of that countries governmental policy.
Italy is another good example.

Agreed! Ever been to Brugge, Mike?
