France to increase Value Added Tax – to “protect” jobs. Sarkozy wants to lower costs for French companies to slow the rate at they’re sending jobs elsewhere, and raise consumer taxes to make up the lost revenue! But won’t less money in consumer pockets mean fewer sales for businesses, higher wage demands and hence, more pressure on jobs? [Insert chirping crickets here.]

Cheese, wine, cigarettes, and leaders who surrender in the first weeks of a war. U know this sounds like a great place for the United Nations to move to...along with some of the well known bat shit crazy leftists that come here and give us their cheese and whine on a regular basis...
The mandate of more parfum and less bathing will likely make a comeback there soon.
Sounds like Sarkosky has been hanging around with ole Plastic Face sniffing glue again. Next I'm sure he will be telling the French public that unemployment benefits will stimulate the economy .
If only the french VAT was like a french rifle, never used and only dropped once.
Uh oh, a criticism of France. For some reason I think this thread has the possibility of becoming long and contentious.
Yeah, I think I hear thundering footsteps in the distance. She probable backs the French ban on Ketchup too.
300 pounds of leftist love in a moo-moo, slippers and curlers..holding a box of ding dongs, or may be ho-ho's and a picture of Karl Marx....ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww that's one ugly mental picture...
I certainly hope so.

...so he really does'nt live in France as much he thinks he does, not after the 1st 183 days anyway.
“France has offered me a permanent residency but I don’t want that. I am not ready to give up my American citizenship,” said Depp.
It's not his American citizenship he's worried about, it's his American MONEY!!!
Typical leftist.
The confiscation of even more of his leftist cash by the frogs than the IRS is most certainly why he doesn't want to revert to being a frogman. He's just another Hollywood airsick bag full.
No! The answer is to raise taxes, it's ALWAYS to raise taxes!
An if you don't believe that, you're nothing but a racist homophobic right wing teabagginggggggggg
