But that was when evil white men ran the government wasn't it?

FRANCE IS 'TOTALLY BANKRUPT' HOLLANDE SHATTERED AS MINISTER REVEALS STATE OF ECONOMY

FRANCOIS Hollande was left picking up the pieces after France was sent into a state of shock as his labour minister described the nation as "totally bankrutpt.
Michel Sapin was left red-faced after revealing the potential state of the French economy and leaving the French public to question Mr Hollande's policy.
Speaking during a radio interview, he said: "There is a state but it is a totally bankrupt state. That is why we had to put a deficit reduction plan in place, and nothing should make us turn away from that objective."

Why don't they just raise taxes on the rich?
