The French Are Revolting

Viva la revolution!!!

Like most parts of the western world, the people are tinkled at their declining standard of living while the 1% hoard more and more of the wealth.

Personally I would love to see more of this in other parts of the world (including the US).

That doesn’t really apply to France though. The top 1% of earners in some provinces there pay a 54.9% blended rate once social security if factored in. Capital gains is 34.5%. They have an extremely progressive and generous welfare and social security system. They just don’t have a strong enough economy to support it anymore.

The funny thing is these were the arguements that were made by the left prior to joining the EU.
