Will Smith is asked about France's 75% tax rate
- Laurent Delahousse (french speaker): Well you know in France we have changed the president We have talked a lot about taxation.. and in US, there is a topical subject : Barack Obama proposed to tax 30% beyond $ 1 million Do you find that to be normal ?
- Will Smith : Well, I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow. I believe very firmly that my ability to sit here—I'm a black man who didn't go to college, yet I get to travel around the world and sell my movies, and I believe very firmly that America is the only place on Earth that I could exist. So I will pay anything that I need to pay to keep my country growing. . .
LD : You know that in France this question was in the heart of the campaign Do you know how much in France you would have to pay on earnings above one million euros [under new French President Francois Hollande's proposal] ? Not 30% ... 75%
- WS : 75 ??!? Well yes, that's different... 75..well, you know : God Bless America..Hahaha..
great post! Indeed, they have no idea what the left really wants and how far they would go.
