When the French leader Hollande was elected I was hearing stuff about him wanting / govt enacting tax rates of up to 70-90 percent. In fact, I think that was his official position that anyone making over a million should pay ninety percent! It wasn't even that much kinder for people making 250K. Now, I don't want to shed too many tears for the rich; but the reality is taking money from one greedy entity and giving it to another is not a solution. And people advocating these high tax rates and pretending to be benevolent are ultimately full of shit. You get people like John Kerry keeping his boat out of state to not pay the kinds of BS taxes he is actually endorsing. But back to Hollande. This mofo was having his stylist paid $11K a month. That's the type of sh** all the high taxes paid for. Oh, and this has been going on for four f'ing years, since he was elected.
