That is one view, but not the most balanced.

Again and again the French people want these benefits and continue to vote for them. Hard to beleive they would if it was as bad as you say it is. Also, what your link says does not explain the strength and position of France in the world economy, now does it.

Most French workers enjoy 8 weeks paid vacation, child care, medical, education, maternity leave, 35 hour work weeks, much less violence overall than America, the best food in the world, supported art and music programs, they covet and protect family farms, and love life.

US workers are the most productive; but many European workers are more productive per hour worked. But if you enjoy being a worker bee all your life, have at it.

So that's the truth, from one who knows both the US and France quite well.
