[French declaration is heavily influenced by the declarations of human rights contained in the U.S. Declaration of Independence (4 July 1776) of which the delegates were fully aware[2]. Moreover, the declaration was checked by Thomas Jefferson, the author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, then the U.S. ambassador in Paris, before its acceptance. Lafayette and some other main characters of the revolution had already fought in the American Revolution.\

I'm sorry, or not, but our government is HUGE... Americans are taxed to death... and then again when they die. Is it like that in France? Anyways, my point is and comes down to management, be it corporate to governmental. My peeves are that Americans should invest in America and that there is too much waste of American tax dollars.

I really don't care how many elites/billionaires there are in Europe or France or the U.S. of A. as long as, yes... as long as we all keep those individual rights.
