France is such a socialist nightmare
I don’t know much about other countries, but I really feel like France has to be one of the most socialist west country, way more than UK, Canada, USA etc.
There are taxes EVERYWHERE you go on EVERYTHING you do. Wages are very low compared to the GDP per capita because of the taxes applied on wages.
France is one of the most redistributive country, has a high unemployment rate, it’s pretty hard to create a company there because of all the rules and all the taxes.
And the worst part is that French people seem to like that, they like being constently assisted by the government, the French of the French revolution don’t exist anymore. Even with all the protests you might see on TV, they won’t ever do something concrete to make things change, and most of the time what they want is more intervention of the state in the economy to lower the prices while the taxes are exactly why prices are so high.
I’m fed up with these people, I like the culture of my country but living in France is such a nightmare.
