  3.  @abdoulahamada9926  They did that in 2015. All it did was just chase out the educated and skilled while not generating revenue and eventually that policy was scrapped.

  4.  @vol222nuit  LOL. No. France already did that in 2015. Taxed the rich and yet the system remained unsustainable eventually having to scrap it.

  9. Let's just hope France doesn't end like Greece when the socialists gaslighted people into thinking that retiring at 55 without much of a local economy to sustain it was wise.

  10.  @Mimibldr  <Taxation on billionaires is a better solution. > No it's not. And France already did that in 2015 only to end up scrapping it because its best and brightest left and it generated no revenue.

  23. What overpopulation? France is all but completely in the same position as Japan. Too many old people and not enough young people to pay for their pensions.
