Riots in France

There are riots in France over the attempts by the government to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60. Protesters accuse President Nicolas Sarkozy of trying to adopt an American style system. Vive le France, I say. Why would they want an American system that keeps pushing the retirement age later and later and along the way discards many of its older workers before they may reap the benefits of a lifetime of work? It would behoove American workers to emulate their French counterparts as they take to the streets. The wealthy top one percent are leading this country to Hell. I think they should have the snot taxed out of them to bring us back from that destination.
