I am sure the wealthy will be happy to stick around and pay for what they voted.

This idiocy should do wonders for France’s anemic economy as major businesses relocate (and shed French employees).

This kind of thing is in our future, if we keep electing Democrat presidents and members of Congress.

The French made a bad decision? I can’t believe it. Before you know it nobama will make one too.

The fallacy of such a tax is that it ignores the truly wealthy who earn their wealth from means other than a “salary”. The extremely rich like taxes such as this because they keep industrious entrepreneurs from succeeding beyond their proper place. It prevents the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the hoi polloi. The socialists like it for the same reason, but also for the political smoke and mirrors that placate the “poor” and “underprivileged”.

I insist that all the Hollyweird libtards who threatened to move to France move there now and prove that they are true socialists.
