How do people expect to maintain a retirement system set in the 60s and expanded in the 80s when the ratio or workers to retirees has drastically changed due to population aging? France already has one of the highest taxation rate in the world, and its middle class doesn't have much fiscal juice left to be squeezed. The rich and corporations can evade taxes easily, and good luck trying to modify the EU treaties that allows them to do so. So what gives?
