Why would I want this country to end up like France?
The garbage is rotting on the sidewalks. The oil refineries are blocked. The airports and train stations are shut down and the streets are in flames because the French are acting like toddlers who cry when their balloons pop. France is running out of money. There aren't enough producers to support the lifestyle the non-producers have come to enjoy.
I love Europe. It's a beautiful museum when the workers aren't setting cars on fire, but it's a museum in decay and the only way it will survive is by reducing the free lunch program, along with the size and power of government. Regulations discouraging investment and growth need to be eased so business can thrive without fear of government intrusion and retaliation.
Socialism collapses upon itself.
