The Anonymous Widower

Europe’s Most Stupid Politician

I’ve just read two articles about President Hollande’s tax ideas in the Times and The Telegraph. He wants everyone who earns over a million euros to pay a 75% tax rate. the constitutional Council has turned his idea down, so he doesn’t even know French law.

Forty or so years ago, such a policy could have been enforced and in those days in the UK, anybody earning over about £40,000, used to pay an income tax of over 70%.  But all that did was create schemes to avoid paying tax and the best brains of the country became accountants and tax lawyers, rather than scientists and engineers to create wealth by creating companies and jobs.

But Hollande thinks he can turn the clock back!

He must be so stupid to not see that he’s being counter-productive, by giving the brilliant, reasons to leave France.  Il est un imbecile.
