How can you take more than 100% of what someone has regardless of how rich they are.
The whole claim reeks of right wing propaganda. Unconvincing . What a joke.
You are suggesting the story is not true? You have a link to back that up? Perhaps modicum of specificity? Anything?
France INcome Tax raised to 100%: Total Marxism
.... and the only people that should care about this are the People of France, good luck Frenchies you're going to need it.
Yup. When you vote in socialists you get, well, socialists.
Works great till you run out of other peoples money.

Actually, you get soclialists when the plutocrats abuse their power.
Which is pretty much what happened there.

And how's that working out?
Not so hot, looks like.
Good thing we don't have that sort of rate here and no one has remotely even suggested it.
JoeB131 has.

I've seen leftists on this message forum as well as a few people I know suggest going back to 90% top income tax rates because we had them in the 50s and America was Utopia. Michael Moore has advocated it.

I'd agree with you, but you're wrong. Several of our little central planner wannabes right here at USMB have suggested extremely high tax rates. Heck, 22% in this poll favored a 91% rate (not 100%, but close enough for 'remote'):

Then there's Senator Chuck Schumer (D), who advocated a 100% tax rate for a select group: http://www.nydailynews.com/2.1353/aig-bonus-checks-taxed-100-sen-chuck-schumer-article-1.205774
Paul Krugman also called for a 91% tax rate: LibertyNEWS.com ? Lefty NYT Hack Paul Krugman Refers to 91% Tax Rate On Wealthy As Model We Should Look At
Here's a paper from the University of Chicago describing historical examples of a 100% tax rate: http://home.uchicago.edu/~cbm4/tax100.pdf
So there you go, folks 'remotely' suggesting it.
Sounds totally outrageous.

Chuck Schumer made that suggestion soley on the AIG execs who were getting multi-million dollar golden parachutes after leading a company that lost billions of dollars and received tax payer assistance. I agree with his suggestion in that case.
We can chat about the other comments you made too but those aren't 100% rates, still very high but not 100% which is what this thread is about.

Riiiight...91% is not 'remotely' close...
You have far lefties on here who may stay silent but love the idea of this.. and still some others that will openly support such things
They reinvest in their business, rather than taking the profit and sending it offshore.

Depends who you ask, doesn't it?
I mean, you Obama Haters are all up in arms. But most of the rest of the country doesn't miss Bush the Dumber in the least.
