France’s Economic Winners Will Leave the Country

Some economic illiterates cannot understand why foreigners allegedly bankroll our deficits. The reason is very simple. The United States is the world preeminent economic, political, and military power. We are the safest investment on this planet. No other nation is anywhere near as secure. France’s downward spiral cannot be reversed. It is utterly incapable of dealing with its unassimilated Islamic youths. If nothing else, the French socialist economy will never generate sufficient employment opportunities. Even France’s young and well educated citizens are pessimistic concerning their futures. What are they therefore likely to do? The odds are overwhelming that they will emigrate to greener pastures---like our own country. Isn’t it ironic that those who regularly ridicule the “reactionary” United States will likely soon want to become our neighbors? Will the last person leaving France please turn off the lights?

They might go to Quebec.

And they are likely to bring their failed social ideas with them. I am not sure it is quite the bargain it sounds like.

I can't recall the figures, but the number of wealthy French citizens who have switched to Swiss and other citizenship is already astounding. C

C,

They switch citizenship and do their banking in Switzerland and Monaco but they are not at all famous for start ups or venture capitalism. They make their dough through regulatory mercantilism - not capitalism.

I don't believe I've ever run accross a sharp young Frenchman who has shown interest in market capitalism as a means by which wealth might be gained. I'm sure they exist but they're a little thin on the ground.
