You look at all the ways that conservatives are being silenced, and they are called the most similar to Nazi? Nope!

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and many others, need to be challenged with alternative sources.

That, he does.  I had been posting Styx, long before this thread.  But, you already know that.

[starrmtn001]

Yes, HE does.  But, "she" well, you need to check in with your Heart and Soul for that.
Be mindful and caring when you do.

[Dr. MD MD]

Yes, HE does.  But, "she" well, you need to check in with your Heart and Soul for that.

You’re both alright in my books. Now, kiss and make up and video it so we can all watch when you do.

Nationalization of the fuel for home heating and electricity sectors.
More progressive income tax (more marginal tax brackets).
The end of the austerity.
No withholding tax.
Restoring the taxes for the ultra-wealthy.
Same social security system for all workers, including the self-employed.
The pension system must remain in solidarity and therefore socialized.
No retirement pension below 1,200 euros ($1797/month CAD).
Increase of disability allowances.
Retirement at age 60, and a right to early retirement at 55 for workers who have worked a hard manual labour job.
Continuation of the Pajemploi help system until the child is 10 years old.
End of outsourcing of work for French corporations.
Limit the number of fixed-term contracts for large companies, replaced with more full time employment.
Maximum salary fixed at 15,000 euros [monthly] ($22469/month, or maximum annual salary of ~$270,000).
Jobs for the unemployed.
Any elected representative will be entitled to the median national salary.
The popular referendum must enter into the Constitution. Creating a readable and effective site, supervised by an independent control body where people can make a proposal for a law. If this bill obtains 700,000 signatures then this bill will have to be discussed, completed and amended by the National Assembly, which will have the obligation, one year to the day after obtaining the 700,000 signatures, to submit it to the vote of all French.
Return to a seven-year term for the President of the Republic.
End of presidential allowances for life.
Proportional voting system.
Elimination of of the Senate.
Accounting of the protest/blank/none of the above ballots.
Promote small businesses in villages and town centers. Stop the construction of large commercial areas around the big cities that kill the small business. More free parking in city centers.
No further privatization of French infrastructure.
Improved funding for the justice system, the police, the gendarmerie and the army.
All the money earned by highway tolls will be used for the maintenance of motorways and roads in France and road safety.
Immediate closure of private trains, post offices, schools and maternity homes.
Maximum 25 students per class for all ages.
Large corporations (McDonald's, Google, Amazon, Carrefour ...) pay big [taxes], small businesses (artisans, SMEs) pay small [taxes].
Protect the French industry to prohibit outsourcing.
End of the business tax credit. Use this money for the launch of a French hydrogen car industry.
Eliminate credit card fees for merchants.
Lower employers' charges.
Continue exemption of farm diesel.
Improve the lives of the elderly, by banning exploitation and making money off the elderly.
Substantial boosts in mental health fund.

Immediate end to temporary foreign worker programs.
Plan for improving insulation of housing (help the environment by helping the household).
Rent control. More low-rent housing (especially for students and precarious workers).
Treat the root causes of forced migration.
Fair treatment of asylum seekers . We owe them housing, security, food and education. Work with the UN to have host camps open in many countries around the world, pending the outcome of the asylum application.
Return of unsuccessful asylum seekers to their country of origin.
Real integration policy is implemented. Living in France means becoming French (French language course, French history course and civic education course with certification at the end of the course).

Sounds a little like "Occupy wallstreet" with a few demands around immigration thrown in for good measure.

It is a great idea to cap the maximum wage somebody can earn and include a "high taxation bracket" in the same list of demands.

Retirement at 55 when people are living longer lives and entering the workforce at a later age.  Work 30 years, pay low taxes and then ask for the government to pay your way for 60 years.  Seems reasonable to me to only work 1/3 of your life (less if you can get the government to pay for an 8 year university education as well, when you are young.)

I agree that things need to change.  I guess I just don't think that a laundry list will work out well or get action (like OWS.)  Pick one or two major points and stick to them.  If not, expect to fail.

Too bad- because they have mixed up their immigration policies with tax demands on McDonalds and wanting to power their cars with Hydrogen.

Seems reasonable to me to only work 1/3 of your life

1/10 would be far more reasonable, as well as utterly sufficient.

[WOTR]

1/10 would be far more reasonable, as well as utterly sufficient.

I suppose that is true so long as you can find some idiot farmers to work 9/10ths of theirs to feed you and others to work 7/8ths of theirs to keep you well financed.  There appears to be a ton of people who not believe that working .1% is sufficient and that they will just be taken care of.
