Doesn’t Johnny Depp, Barbara Streisand and other well known America hating Hollywood elites have 2nd, 3rd, 4th homes in France?

This is wonderful and im so happy to watch it happen. The Obama organizers who put together his french version of the “Hope” campaign won. Now France, and Britons who own homes in France, can enjoy what they were so happy for us to have.

Enjoy yourselves A-holes.

I can recall being in France many years ago after they elected another hard core socialist, Francois Mitterand, as their new president. He started off his administration with a similar, albeit less, hare brained set of anti-capitalist policies and within six months the French economy was on the ropes. Mitterand reversed course, became what amounted to a center right president dressed as a socialist, and was overall a pretty good friend to the USA and President Reagan.

I am not at all sure this fellow is as clever and willing to change stripes to save himself as Francois. He strikes me as much more of a Marxist ideologue. If so, mes amis ... you are all royally fucqued.

They won’t get much from rental income taxes. When I went to Paris in 2008, we rented a nice appartement across from the Jardin de Luxembourg for a week. Of course, we had to pay in euros, cash.

Imagine the blowback if Obama purposed to tax any home or second home over $500,000 a surcharge of 10 percent tax...because they rich...

Since most limo libs and hollyweird types are living in such homes I think it’s a great idea..../s

Angelina, Brad and Johnny are not going to be happy about this... clooney either.

Obamunism is spreading worldwide.

Okay, I know this will shock folks, but I think France may be on to something there. I’d tweak it just a bit though.

Since Democrats in the U. S. never think taxes are high enough, I think Congress should double the taxes on registered Democrats.

There. That ought to fix things. Forget about the “rich”, just tax folks who always advocate for higher taxes.

Then everyone will be happy...

...capital gains tax on property sales would rise from 19 per cent to 34.5 per cent.

Possibly the mootest of moot points in history. Property values in France have been dropping like a rock, and the socialist government is unlikely to stop that trend.
