Brent Everett Brent Corrigan Crush

left of the disadvantaged: and then the rest? Vincent Peillon

I bounced on the ticket of Mr. Nicolas , from Kremlin-Bicetre and react to what is an anthem of the traditional left French, sung by our friends choral union somewhat dumb these days: increasing social minima.

Hammered, thrust, reaffirmed every political season, the message was somewhat melted into the landscape ideas and claims. The left is in this respect to the image of our beloved unions: discredited.

One reason I believe is that this left-political union has long been committed to defending the poor, not whether it is a wrong in itself, but this tendency to make a hobby, a symbol, an appropriation has actually altered the message that it should be broadcast.

France is not constituted only of the least advantaged, least of all by those receiving minimum social benefits that it is a tragedy that we can not deny, their proportion is increasing year by year.

Oddly enough, the message of the left focused on the fringes of France's least favored: perhaps try to buy our good conscience or genuine concern for their fate? Let them the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile, much of the French, that of the middle class was impoverished. Slip
income from labor to capital, structural unemployment serving as a fitter in wage levels, housing boom, the changeover to the euro from a sudden extra blade ripping open a wallet already particularly affected, etc. .

Now who has heard this argument drummed here and there, in response to the French middle class complaining of the situation:
"There's nothing to complain"
"There are worse elsewhere"
"There are some who can not even fill for months."
... as if a fight was exclusive of the other. These responses demagogic still ringing like a repeat of the left "monopoly of the heart" , decreeing that the fighting should be conducted or not. But this middle class has been forgotten by the left.

The crisis of representation of unions and the left traditional in my opinion is linked to the defection to the center (as if ideology was influenced by the level of his bank account) and failed to address the sociological changes since the service sector of the economy.

Apart from this, an economic perspective, the increase in minimum social benefits is a cyclical response to a structural problem: in other words, an attempt to plug a gap where the bridge is collapsing.

Like the minimum wage which the left has continued to claim his body and cry to increase, the question is: why have abandoned the rest of the French? Why fight for the minimum wage and minimum social benefits he always meant to neglect other employees? And France for small employers, should it be ignored?

Increase the minimum social benefits? yes of course if it is accompanied by a necessary reflection on our overall economic system.
Increase the minimum wage? Not unless one has the effect of squashing a little more payroll as a whole by creating large disparities in favor of some and kill small businesses.
Get a fairer distribution of wealth produced by the company: Certainly. It

no skirmishes because it is unacceptable that there are more and more working poor, the homeless, or households in a state of indebtedness, we can not forget that by dint of neglecting the middle class , it ended up feeding tirelessly category of the most disadvantaged.

During that time, disparities increased for those who already own everything.
This is not continuing to feed a system afloat now poorer than they fight the system. There are of course the emergency, but it should not overshadow the long-term and the necessary reform of our economy.
The traditional left
French know it do? I doubt it unfortunately.
