Mélenchon proposed a 100% marginal tax rate on income over €400,000 ($425,000). That should cause all the soccer players on Paris-St Germaine to flee.

I’d Love to Change the World
Ten Years After
Written by Alvin Lee • Copyright © BMG Rights Management US, LLC

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more?

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

Why not 120% ?

[fella]

Didn’t the French already do that once back in 1793?

[econjack]

No disincentive effects there. (Can this guy breathe without help cuz he sure can’t think.)

[Jolla]

You know I really like about the French, nothing.

[lacrew]

Its people like this who are making it harder and harder to do satire.

[blueunicorn6]

He’s using the old communist motto.....

“From each according to what he has to me according to what I want.”

[Rurudyne]

I’ve a better idea: a 100% confiscation of all wealth from communists in exchange for a one room tenement with neither AC or heating and lifetime supply if Raman.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Heck, why not 200%? Why not 300%?

Oh, let’s go for broke. Just take all of their income AND all of their assets.

Yeah, that’ll do it.

Vote for me. I steal stuff and promise to give it to you.

Just look at how well it is working out for the people of Venezuela.

It’s paradise!!!

With any luck they will actually vote this guy in and the reap the rewards they sowed.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Rich liberals love to have homes in France. I wonder what they think about this.

[adorno]

I’m all for communism, with consequences at the end of the failure.

Consequences being the hanging and stoning to death of the politicians who are willing to take the blame before their economic policies are incorporated into the economy.

So, would Melenchon be willing to trade his life for economic policies which are sure to kill the economy and thereby industries and jobs and the country?

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t say this very often, but this sort of person should be taken out and...

[Rusty0604]

Holland’s wanted a mere 75% and that didn’t work out too well.

[Eternal_Bear]

King Canute had a 100% tax for everyone in England just after he conquered it.

[reg45]

They will have to put up a “Berlin Wall” to keep all those rich people in France, first. Then do the tax.

[DannyTN]

[central_va]

Instead of a minimum wage it is a maximum wage. Hmm...

[Phil DiBasquette]

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Come on and smile, my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be Melenchony too

[arthurus]

And if he wins, his 100̀ tax will collect little or nothing as the Rich, even rich leftists who are not tied to the candidate, will be exiting the country after having moved their assets out.
