People should take a history lesson from France. Let them eat cake.

  Can you elaborate? What did France do exactly? Apart from having a minimal (but working) welfare system. For several decades, liberal policies have been driving down the welfare system and the minimum wage. Macron is definitively trying to put a end to the french social welfare system.

    He's suggesting that we break out the guillotines and murder the rich. That worked out great for the French, after all.

      But if you say "Let them eat cake"... you're not on the right side of the situation being proposed.

  Did you read the rest of the history book? It wound up with them not only restoring the monarchy multiple times but getting a goddamned Emperor who went all proto-Hitler and tried to conquer all of Europe!
