Good you put that diclaimer at the end of your post. It spared me exactly 27 keystorkes.

I'm not saying that US is a perfect country, but I certainly wouldn't recommend France as a place to plant and grow your business. The hiring and firing constraints they put fort are just ridiculous, nothing else. The intrusive state and extortionist labor unions are plain scary (not to mention the outrageous farming subsidies ruining the whole EU). Read my lips: SOCIALISM DOESN'T WORK. Been there, seen that.

Just for a little brain exercise

* unemployment rate (taux de chomage):
USA 4.8% in February
France 9.6% in January

GDP (PDB ) - per capita 2004
USA - $ 40,100
France - $ 28,700

Tax Freedom Day (Jour de la Liberation Fiscale)
USA - begining of April
France - midddle of July

Go figure...

P.S. And Mandriva s^E
