We (french) hate giving money for the tax but we have to recognise that it work ... and I prefer seeing my tax having good usage ! (don't you ?)
It depend of what they do with the money ... in fact here you can be "cured" (dunno if it's the right term) by any doctor without to pay even if it's a costly specialist our care system take care of the cost (equally if you are rich or poor)
And there is lot of different exemples of our social state like the 5 week (mandatory) payed vacation the 35 hour per week ...
Our productivity is equivalent (and sometime better) than any US worker ... go figure...
I'm not myself a socialist (by French standard
) but as I said before I've to recognise : it work at almost 99% ...
"Go away" is what my 2 year old granddaughter says when she doesn't get her way.
Yep reacted like her ... was a dork this morning
Mine say
"PASSER" wich is strickly equivalent ... but in French
btw I'm sorry I overreacted in my previous post.
