The fact that you don't understand the difference between Germany and France is amazing. Why don't you look up their economic figures and do a little research before exposing your ignorance. I posted a link for you. Did you look at it? It doesn't sound like you did. On issues you consider socialistic, there is very little difference between Germany and France. I know because I talk to my German friends about them all the time. Do you want to know how one German friend who is in mid mgmt at Audi must deal with the German auto union? Its a very time consuming and arduous process. France is the same way. Its why unemployment tends to run higher in those countries. German employers do not hire until they are absolutely certain there is enough work for that employee. And did you know in Germany it takes three months to get a new employee? The employee is required by law to give 3 months to his current employer. I think its you who doesn't understand how Germany functions.
