America: The Next France

Read Tom Purcell:

"Still, I dream of a government-mandated, stress-free existence.
I dream of enjoying several weeks of vacation, basking in the waters of some exotic location.
I dream of sitting around quaint cafes, sipping cognac and nodding approvingly as pretty women stroll by.
I dream of finally being able to relax, knowing that if anybody tries to take away my government job or vacation or generous unemployment benefits, millions of people, also on the government dole, will march into the streets in my defense.
Nice as it would be if America could be more French, even for a little while, I know it is just a dream."
