Ordinary people are much worse off in France, which has a huge welfare state, than they are in the U.S. and Switzerland, which have medium-sized welfare states (1/2, link in reply)

Yes, Belgium could suffer a fiscal crisis before France. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Lost in all the Franco-doomerism is an even more problematic country - Belgium. It has a wider primary & overall deficit with both moving in the wrong direction (former has improved in France) & still no budget. No wonder its yields rose the most after France in current sell-off.

This post from @DanielKral1 is further evidence about the remarkable improvements in Greek fiscal policy (though a lot more spending restraint is still needed) danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
🇪🇺 govt debt-to-GDP ratio is rising again, masking diverging dynamics. 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇫🇮 and increasingly 🇩🇪 are pulling it up. Conversely, 🇬🇷🇵🇹🇭🇷🇨🇾 and to a small extent 🇪🇸 pull in the opposite direction. Markets are attentive to this, hence different levels of contagion from 🇫🇷 sell-off.

Spot on, @SteveForbesCEO. I’ve been a loyal 1K flyer on @united Airlines. But why should I patronize $UAL in the future when its CEO is pushing evil and immoral wealth taxes? danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
United CEO Scott Kirby wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100%. Why not focus on improving service for customers paying more and getting less? If he wants to help Americans, he should focus on his customers, not punitive taxes. wsj.com/opinion/scott-kirby-…

For the rest of us, we can decide whether we want to fly on @united Airlines when the company CEO is pushing for a hard-left, class-warfare tax agenda that will hurt the incomes of ordinary Americans. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co… (2/2)
There’s a simple step Scott can take. He should tell the @united board to cut his $34 million salary to $30,000 and voluntarily mail the rest of it to the federal government. Whenever someone recommends socialism, they should agree to go first.

According to opensecrets.org, Scott Kirby of @united Airlines gives lots of contributions to leftist politicians such as Cory Booker and Dick Durbin. If he really cares about inequality, here’s a great suggestion from @AaronKlein. And here’s a link with the form he can use: danieljmitchell.wordpress.co… (1/2)

Don’t forget Trump’s idiotic protectionism. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Dems will win the House next month because of Trump. Dems have a very good chance to win the Senate next month because of Trump. And Dems have a very good chance to have a governing trifecta after 2028 because of Trump. Specifically, because of Trump's corruption and Iran war.

Scott Kirby’s support of class-warfare tax policy shouldn’t be a surprise. If you go to opensecrets.org, you’ll find that the CEO of @united Airlines has been a big donor to left-wing politicians such as Senators Dick Durbin and Cory Booker.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby wants to show customers in seat 34B he feels their pain by endorsing a national wealth tax. Such virtue-signaling is cheaper than complimentary pretzels. on.wsj.com/485lKmq

Please retweet so the flying public knows that the CEO of @united Airlines favors a radical increase in the death tax, the most destructive and immoral part of the tax code. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby is calling for a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100% for certain estates. First of all, how does anyone get to be a CEO of a major corporation who thinks that government is better & more efficient than people at spending money? Second of all, doesn’t Kirby know that small businesses, which would be the most hurt by such policies, create most of the new jobs in America? @united should fire this imbecile and hire someone who actually understands economics. foxbusiness.com/fox-news-tra…

If the vapid CEO of @united Airlines, Scott Kirby, thinks society will be improved by giving more money to the crowns and crooks in Washington, maybe he should lead by example. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby tells the New York Times that "wealth inequality has become a danger to our society" and must be addressed. "We should have a national wealth tax... we should have inheritance taxes that get close to 100 percent at some level. I would pay them." (nytimes.com/2026/10/18/busin…)

Hey, @united Airlines, do you stand behind the reprehensible comments of your CEO, Scott Kirby? Do you favor massive class-warfare tax increases on investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners? Air travelers should know the answer before deciding who gets our dollars.

France is a tragic example of how higher taxes are a recipe for higher spending and more debt. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Are you marching against "neoliberalism" in France? Stop right there. 🇫🇷 is already top of the class and top of the bill in terms of benefits. You are in fact marching because you have become addicted to "magic money"; you know the one that takes zero effort and grows from trees?
