And if you buy the plat de jour while traveling, not so expensive either.
And then there's always cheese, bread, and grapes picnicked on the trunk of
the car. Did that in east France while looking at cows, who were looking at
me. That was about 5 minutes from Switzerland ...another great place to
drive around (or ride a bike).

Sounds like the typical government: take the person's money, count
it, ask him to say "May I" and then give some of it back.

Why do we have armies of accountants to compute income tax on
government employees? The money just goes in a circle with a little
skim for the administrators.

Yes and we like it this way...
We'd rather have our money usefully used by the govt to build public
schools (free), universities(free), hospitals (70% free), roads (Every
road is tarred and maintained here..),librairies (free), highways
(taxed, but worth it, these are the best quality highways in Europe,
perfectly maintained, fine rest areas, gas station every 20 miles,
etc.), etc.. than have it going to a few billionaires at the head of
zaibatsus for worse purposes.. ;-)



AND, the food is better
