QUOTE=maxSaleen]Well put, Lothar.
No point to agruing about the specifics of France's economy. We can all agree that unemployment and lowe(er) purchasing power have impoverished some, and has thus contributed to the riots. The rest, I guess, is cultural.[/quote]
The economy is only one piece of the equation, you do have the radical element that is inciting things. What these people want are enclaves that are governed only by Arab rule - no French or French laws allowed. Imagine a separate Arab state within the French borders......
Good point Lothar5150 - Show me a left wing economy and I will show you a stagnate or declining economy. History says it all.
What's less obvious to the left is that experiments in PC, Multiculturalism, redistribution of wealth and other social engineering projects only get effectively implemented after a country has had a successful run of capitalism. The trick is not to kill the goose
