Meanwhile in France

[RoadKingLarry]

So, France has put a socialist in charge. I don't see it working out too well.

Already talk of the wealthy bailing out.
Qui est John Galt ?

Just another bid for irrelevance by the forggies.

But of course - would YOU sit still and take a promised 75% tax because you're one of the "evil rich?" Pretty sure I'd have to bail, too.

Always get a kick out of the socialists that want to really stick it to the evil rich. I have to figure they really are to stupid to figure out that if they stick it to them hard enough the rich will just take their toys money and go play somewhere else.

Well the real kicker is the proposed 45% tax on earning above 150,000 euro. Sounds not much worse than our taxation, but you figure a VAT on everything, $6 gas and who knows what other taxes and it becomes pretty iffy.

Sounds like... Zionism.
