"Those who are going abroad fear a future tax on capital movements," he added.

Daniel Feau agreed that the profile of those who are leaving has changed, from the idle rich to "managers of major international corporations, entrepreneurs and investors much younger than previously who are scared of the marginal tax rate of 62.21 percent on sales of stock."

Before you know it, the only people living in France will be muzzies, foreigners, and criminals.

But at least the wine is good.  :whatever:

But who is going to support them when all the people who paid the taxes leave the country?

The EU, of course. It's what they do.

I am sure the UN will intervene and demand the USA pay what ever is needed to keep France from failing. It will be our moral duty of the USA to uphold the high standards the French are accustomed to.

I don't think so. Muzzies are known to imbibe when they're outside of their own muzzie country. Most of the 9/11 hijackers were heavy tipplers and I think they spent a lot of time looking at smut too.

You know, it's that "Don't do as I do, do as I say."

I guess these French businessmen aren't very patriotic.  As we all know, businesses moving overseas are never the result of politicians doing stupid things.

Wow, with unfettered movement between EU members and drastically differential tax rates, how could anyone have predicted this?

There will be nobody with any talent left to make the wine.  I don't understand why they couldn't see this coming a mile away, while we saw it all along.
