Actually, there is now a lot of fear in France that many well-off French nationals will just "offshore" most of their liquid assets to a tax haven like Switzerland or even the Cayman Islands--and that would be a HUGE financial disaster for France indeed.

So pay it and shut up. Just don’t prescribe what anyone else should pay.

Take all his money, and send him back to Philly.
Because he knows he's first in line to play Bobo in the inevitable rushed biopic...

This reminds me of the story of Oscar Wilde: A wealthy woman is telling him how wonderful she things he is. He asks her if she will sleep with him for 1000 pounds sterling. She blushes and says yes of course. He then asks if she will do it for 10. She is outraged and says "What do you take me for?"
He replies: "We have already agreed on that we are now just negotiating the price."
There is always a line. Sadly this will not have the desired effect on Will Smith.

I remember when George Harrison’s song “Taxman” came out, and Harrison was quoted as saying he knew he had to pay high taxes, but 95% was totally ridiculous. He was then savaged in the rock press by the morons who said he was being greedy for not wanting to pay 95%. That’s the way these people look at things. I would bet most bleeding-heart, uber-rich lib celebs put their money tax shelters or overseas accounts as soon as humanly possible.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

A 75 percent tax on the entertainment industry (and at least 75 percent of them are libs) sounds like a sound idea. Thanks Dan Zachary.
