It just shows how pathetic the rich, can't even handle a simple tax increase. I agree 75% is a bit much, but it's what you have to do, if you are in debt. I think 50 to 60% tax on the rich is fairer. Even the 45% tax on those who earn above £150,000 I think is fair, better than the ridiculously low taxes of America. Maybe, Hollande is a bit nuts on this.

But either way, a bad economy usually caused by moderates (liberals and conservatives) normally leads to the far left (communists) or far right (fascists) getting power, nearly always. If people aren't happy with Hollande, they just vote in the fascist Le Pen next time, who were 3rd in this year's election!

wait... are you telling me you are glad to pay taxes, and that you dont seek out any exemptions or deductions? you pay the full rate no questions asked?

 

the bolded doesnt even make any sense

Marine Le Pen is leader of the national front (far right wing), which are known as fascists or nazis

But anyway, no in reality no one really wants to pay taxes, but it has to be done. Because of that, the rich should pay more taxes than an ordinary person (in percentage terms). I don't see how it's fair, if the rich don't pay hardly any taxes. Plus taxes, should only be low when a countries economy is doing well.

Despite this, i still think 75% is very excessive, even if it's on a billionaire (despite them still being rich!)
