France is watching their best leave for better pastures:
Last week, Depardieu announced he had quit Paris for a small town 800 metres (yards) from the French border, seemingly to dodge a 75% top rate of tax expected to come into force next year.
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said it was "shabby", and suggested he was "shirking his patriotic responsibilities".
Aside from his reputation as a bon-viveur, the actor's other passion is for motorbikes
"How pathetic is that," railed the actor in Sunday's Journal du Dimanche.
"I am leaving because you believe success, creation, talent, anything different must be sanctioned," he wrote.

What are your thoughts about France and that crackpot Hollande?

They make good wine. And champagne.
Hey, the voters reap what they sow. Hollande's a hard-line socialist. WTF did those people expect? That the Great and Powerful French Government wasn't going to up the ante?

It's not hard to understand, examples of this are laying all over the place.
People want things, all kinds of things. If you make laws that attempt to deprive people of things they what they do what they need to get the things they want.
As far as the OP is concerned, this to should have been foreseen (and it was) France and Kalifornia, everything that is happening has been foretold.
The rich are leaving the UK and France and Kali and NY. Nobody has a right to be surprised, it was foretold, and it is happening.
I wonder how the proggies try to explain the tax increase that Kali voted for and then come to find out that revenues decrease...I mean how the heck does that happen!?!
