nicolas sarkozy was bounced out after one term replaced by france what holland -- france what --fracois hollande of the socialist party. for the first time in many decades the entire french government is controlled by the socialist party and the socialist party ran on the following platform -- austerity is not tolerable. we cannot allow the french people to be required to pay the cost of a capitalist system that could not solve its problems. the first two commitments of the new government were to raise the income tax bracket on the highest earners from its current rate, 45% compared to the united states which is 35%, raise it from 45% to 75%, and that has been passed. it past the parliament because the socialists who proposed it have the absolute majority in all the houses and the second thing was to use some of the money to be brought in by taxing the rich to higher, which he has now done, 40,000 new school teachers across france. these are symbolic acts and the fight is far from over. the wealthy in france are up in arms about this and all kinds of struggle and it is not how -- not cl

nicolas sarkozy in france came to columbia and gave a talk about the health care bill under discussion and a student asked him to comment. he said i don't want to meddle in your affairs but then he said i don't understand it. in france we take it as a basic right that you should have access to health care no matter what your income level is. for us, this is the question of a right and left. basic human rights. >> the olympic ceremonies in britain with the dancing nurses, people -- the british love their health system. we think it is a hell hole in the disaster and it is not. by the way, the other thing about the politics of it is if we get it almost immediately it will become irreversible and inconceivable that -- >> it is like medicare. most americans really think it is a good system. the joke about obamacare was the person who said keep the government's hands off of medicare. >> don't let the government get its hand on medicare. >> that raises a fundamental issue we have been circling around which is what is the role of government in our society and our economy and for 30 years now a
