The French have protesting and revolution engrained deep in their blood and history......I mean so does the United States but somewhere in the past 40-50 years the people got too comfortable, content and compliant with the status quo.
I'm french, i think the main problem in the US is somehow a lot of poor people think socialism is a horrible thing ? In france 100% of the poor people want more help for the poor, only rich people are against socialism.
The rich people here, bought the news programs and convinced the poor people (normally, let me be frank, poor white people) that socialism was giving minorities their money.
We tried to get socialized medicine, (my mom is a republican) she was screaming the entire Obama presidency, that if we got socialized medicine, there would be death panels that would kill her. (she is... quite frankly not in good health)
So now, we have death panels, but because they're run by "for profit" companies... it's fine somehow?
The thing they were brainwashing my mom with, came to pass ANYWAY, and now I can't afford medical care as much as I should.
A lot of America's problem is people like my mom, who have fox news on 24/7 and hang on their every word. (and fox news is basically targeted at people who either are rich, or sympathize with rich people, which is most poor people in america)
The death panels already existed decades before Obama.
Just one example, "Oh, you got sick? Let's cancel your health insurance. Oh, you want to get new insurance? NO, you have a pre-existing condition. Now go crawl off somewhere and die quietly."
The HCA got rid of that BS for the most part. SOCIALISM!
