Let me try to understand this ... you're recommending emigrating to a country where your earning power is capped by decree???

First they cap the salary of the top pple. Meaning REAL TALENT will no longer want to work for them. No wonder the bird brain managed to come up with this strategy he got all the Yahoos working for him.

2nd they up the tax for millionaires to 75%. U think any rich person with half a brain will still want to stay in France? Guess what will happen, rich pple will move to tax havens or low tax countries like SG, reducing the French government income.

Brilliant Strategy!!!

Yes, it is brilliant, for countries like us that is.

Just in case the moron needs an example of why increasing taxation of the rich isn't going to help the country get more money, he just need to look at fellow EU member, Greece!!!!




Tax fraud is a “scourge” in Greece, a spokesman for the EU’s economics commissioner said Tuesday after a Facebook backlash over controversial comments by IMF head Christine Lagarde.

Monetary affairs spokesman Amadeu Altafaj told a regular European Commission press conference that “the fight against tax fraud is a central element” in the 237-billion-euro bailout deal agreed by eurozone, IMF and private-sector creditors in March.

He said the aid program, hated by many Greeks after two years already of austerity, was “of use to the Greek people in tackling the scourge of tax fraud which is a core problem in the management of public finances.”

In an uncompromising interview published by The Guardian newspaper on Friday, Lagarde said she had little sympathy with the Greek people -- preferring to concern herself with the plight of starving children in Africa’s Sahel region.

“I also think about all those people who are trying to escape tax all the time,” she said. “All these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax.”

She said the Greeks could help themselves “by all paying their tax,” remarks that incensed many Greeks and led to 10,000 messages, many obscene, being posted on Lagarde’s Facebook page.

Asked by reporters if the European Commission shared Lagarde’s apparent view that Greeks are tax-dodgers, Altafaj said “no”.

He stressed that EU officials were in Greece working on tax evasion and that the Greek authorities were aware of a problem.

Altafaj did not give a date for the next inspection visit by EU-IMF lenders to Greece, following a June 17 repeat general election.

It may be dumb to Sinkies but it's a price the French public are willing to pay for their sense of fairness. Sinkies shouldn't throw stones in their glass houses though. Sinkies had elected a government that pays scant regard to civil liberties because Sinkies don't give a damn about these freedoms, freedoms that those in the West had died to secure. Different cultures, different mindsets. Hua hee tio ho

There is implementing it and having it actually working. Its 2 different thing. For good example, google Greece + tax evasion or Eduardo Saverin + Singapore.

U really think the rich are stupid enough to stay and see 75% of their income disappear?

You really think the genuinely rich in France, those who receive dividends rather than income, are stupid enough to abandon Champs-Élysées for Orchard fucking Road? Capital flight has never been a problem in France. The French electorate couldn't care less about how much poorer the country would become as long as they could uphold the ideals of liberté, égalité, fraternité.
