Democrats scheme to turn the US into France � riots and all
2026-10-26
[NYP] "This is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few," says prospective 2028 presidential candidate Rep. Ro Khanna about the mass rioting and social unrest unfolding in France.

As with most issues, the far-left Californian has it backward: The economic and social ideas dear to his own Democratic Party are what have destabilized France.

France, after all, is home to socialized medicine, high minimum wages, powerful unions, some of the most generous worker protections in the world, big government spending and a massive welfare state.

France’s Gini index, the standard measure of income inequality, is just under 32, around the European Union average.

Of course income inequality, the hobbyhorse of the American left, is completely irrelevant in and of itself; France ranks right in the middle worldwide by that measure, between the stable and wealthy Western democracy of Japan and the destitute Asian tyranny of Myanmar.
