I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.

I come from your future.

In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.

Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.

The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.

The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.

I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.

Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?

Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

@glennbeck If anything, it should prove that someone can be flawed and still be and do amazing things!

What if some of your money habits have absolutely nothing to do with money?!?! 🤔

[Shelley McCulloch @shelleyvm]

I’m curious 🤔 … what’s one money rule you grew up believing that you no longer believe?

They’re all for socialism until they’re asked to apply that same concept to their grades..

Funny how that works. Watch this.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Most Americans don’t understand what socialism is.

It’s not universal healthcare.

It’s not affordable housing.

It’s not what Nordic countries do.

Confusion is making socialism appeal to those who never lived it.

People who have, reject it.

You cannot silence, mute or censor the spirit. It does not ask anyone or anything for permission to exist. 🕊

If you never see yourself contributing to the problem....you’ll never understand the power you have to contribute to the solutions.

How in hell is it that the CDC's new best estimates of symptomatic case fatality rate are not the top story in America every day all day? Symptomatic case fatality rate at 0.4%. If you assume -- as CDC does -- that 35% of cases are asymptomatic, you're looking at CFR 0.26%.
