Veronique de Rugy, my long-time friend (and fellow Board member of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity), is the narrator of a new video explaining why the United States should not become a European-style welfare state. Produced jointly by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity and Reason TV, the video warns that the Bush-Obama era of big government is making America like Veronique’s home nation of France.
Coincidentally, I am sitting in my hotel room in Paris, having given speeches Wednesday and Thursday to semi-receptive audiences. France is a nice place to visit, but Veronique’s video shows that it is not a very good place to live for productive people.
