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!

I'm reading Atlas Shrugged at the moment, and you remind me of Wesley Mouch.

The government's decisions got it into this mess. It shouldn't really be trying to bleed the country's most successful people dry to balance its budget. I don't see how you can possibly consider that moral.

If the economies wer not so globalised, then may Europe would of been Ok. The western world trades so much between each other, that it's like a domino effect. If America struggles, so does everyone else. If France was still a major economy, then I would ultimately agree with you.

What would you do, if you were in government now to sort out a bad economy?
