"PARIS—For decades, Europeans have been happy to surrender around half of their pay to the state. In exchange, they could expect to retire in their 60s on a relatively comfortable, state-funded pension."

LOL. I argued with lefties about this decades ago and they told me that this was the best system and that the government would take care of them.

The people rioting in the streets should be rioting against socialism and the ability to take the money that would go into taxes and invest in something that will actually provide them with an income.

Instead, they somehow think that this has anything to do with capitalism.
