France's Leftist Primary Winner

For anyone that wonders what liberals (increasingly wanting to be called Progressive) really want, look at the platform of the winner of France's Socialist Primary.

Benoît Hamon’s Platform

Benoît Hamon is a 49-year-old former education minister. Here is his platform.

Universal basic income.
Tax on robots.
Progressive taxation of wealth.
Reduction of tax loopholes.
32-hour working week.
Legalization of marijuana.
National conference on “environmental democracy”.
50% renewable energy by 2025.
Differentiated VAT for the “most virtuous products”.
Ban on pesticides.
Better repayments for dental care.
A “Sixth Republic”.
Transformation of the Senate into “college of territories”.
The right of foreigners to vote in local elections.
“Humanitarian visa” and redo of France a land of asylum.
Consideration of the white vote. If the white vote is a majority vote, the election must be postponed. Note: That translation was by Google. I am told ““Vote blanc” doesn’t mean “white vote” it means voting “none of the above”. No need to make French socialist sound crazier than they are.
Media antitrust law.
Labor law repeal to provide additional protection to employees.
Help facilitate the takeover of SCOP companies by employees.
Recognize burn-out as an occupational disease.

I have one simple question,how are you going to pay for it?

For those who don't know, VAT is value added tax. When anything increases in value it is taxed on it's new value. Example,

ron ore taken from the ground-taxed

ore made into pig iron-taxed again

Pig iron rolled into sheet steel-taxed again

Sheet steel made into car bumpers-taxed again

Car bumpers sold to a car manufacture and put on cars-taxed again

Around the world, the Left wants universal "free" health care, but also a basic level of income so that nobody would really need to work.

So the theory would be that people could self-actualize, become who they really want to be, and that talent would thus be set free.

But isn't the problem that the vast bulk of people have no real talent and would simply sit at home and watch TV or play on their (free) computer?

Just wait until they have to fully start funding their own country's defense. That dream list of "wants" will become a dream.

It's been "debunked" only in the alternative reality alternative fact world inhabited by "President" Donnie and his true believers.

But keep slugging, Carlos. :lol:

It's been dubunked by CNN's own gigapixel photo.

The crowds were enormous despite forecasts of rain and violence, and despite the fact that D.C. and its suburbs are heavily Democrat.

No, it hasn't.

But keep repeating and eventually even Trump supporters might believe the alternative facts. :lol:

All anybody with two eyes has to do is look at CNN's own photo.

But leftists prefer to lie.

Elkin, you can't be that dishonest.

Surely you have two eyes and have looked at that gigapixel pic?

CNN took it, and CNN hates Trump.

It shows the place jammed with people.

The upper two photos have been debunked, but Elkin is a liar with zero regard for the truth.

Timing, as they say, is everything. Check when the Trump photo was shot. Well after the event was over.

Trump won, Killery lost, spectacularly.
Get over it snowflakes.
