===Let them eat cake===
Weeks after Macron threw a bone to minimum wage earners, protests and calls for his resignation continued unabated. After generations of government duplicity, people are not fools anymore. What socialism and the [[welfare state]] gives with one hand, it takes back through taxes and [[inflation]] with the other - especially in the [[zero sum]] game of government debt and budget austerity. How out of touch and demeaning [[liberal elite]]s are, to imagine people riot and protest for a [[minimum wage]] increase so that they can remain at the bottom of the Marxist class structure. Or that their spiritual needs in a [[Christ]]-hating society can be mollified with cash.
