tennis star Serena Williams thinks France's top 75 percent income tax rate "doesn't seem legal."
On the CBS Late Show Thursday, Williams took her criticism further telling host David Letterman that although she loves the city and spends a great deal of her time there, "I don't live in Paris. You know, they have that new tax rule which is like 75"

I thought she lives in Compton.
She prolly would have voted for Hollande too.
She better used to it
Just another poor down trodden black woman all because of slavery.
Really? I’d say she has done very well for herself — using her own abilities.

And steroids too, don't forget about them.
Reminds me of something I heard on the news years ago.
Clinton phoned one of the Williams sisters, although I don’t remember which one, to congratulate her on an important victory. Her response, “Thanks, but if you really want to congratulate me, how about letting me keep more of what I earn?”
Wow, you think she’s “poor and downtrodden”?
Seems like she’s enormously rich from hard work and ability.

No I was being sarcastic because all I hear is how black people have it so bad because of racism. There are plenty of black people who are smart, and work hard.
I will have to remember to write sarc at the end of my post next time.
Oh. Sorry, I am tone deaf on the internet. I get your point and will try to remember my sense of humor, instead of getting all literal. Always liked her- more so than her sister.
75% is not legal. Nor 50%. Nor 40%.
Wow, you think she’s “poor and downtrodden”?

...seems like your sarcasm detection equipment needs some serious maintenance...
The original Boston Tea Party was triggered over a 1% tax.
Is the tongue firmly in cheek really so hard to see?
Oh, it's all perfectly legal.
It's just not moral.
I thought the 75% tax was ruled illegal by the French courts? So what is she taking about?
