Yeah, I agree. France is messed up and has serious issues. I mean, not compared to say, Sudan, but they really need to get their act together. They are highly protectionistic in a way that is likely to hurt them long term and has them treating other countries quite unfairly.
Just because I like numbers even when they are just polls (LOL), I recently ran across this quote: "In another startling poll, however, whereas 71% of Americans, 66% of the British and 65% of Germans agreed that the free market was the best system available, the number in France was just 36%. The French seem to be uniquely hostile to the capitalist system that has made them the world's fifth richest country and generated so many first-rate French companies."
