The French far left, victorious at the polls, proposes to increase taxes to 90% for all incomes above 400 thousand euros. Who knows what they think about it Mbappewho during the European Championship urged his compatriots to go to the polls to stop the right but who, if he had not landed at Real Madrid, with this hypothetical reform he would have had to pay almost 90% of his pharaonic salary…
The most left-wing fringe of the Nouveau Front Populaire (the melting pot made up of Greens, Socialists, Communists of the first hour and whoever else has more, puts more to contain the spectre of the infamous right) after having won the elections thanks to the iron pact with the Macronists, proposes a monstrous taxation to finance the crazy pension reform which he promised voters during his election campaign.
A wicked measure supported by Melenchonwho has already hit the headlines for his anti-Atlanticist views on NATO and for the veil of latent anti-Semitism that shines through in several of his statements. Well, Melenchon, who the far left dreams of having as its new prime minister, would like to dismantle Macron’s pension reform and lower the retirement age to 60. A move that would cost, along with other worthless promises to grab a few more percentage points of votes, 150 billion a year to the French coffers.
Hence, the brilliant idea: a super tax, 90% on incomes of 400 thousand euros, to plunder the entrepreneurial fabric of the country. Practically a proletarian expropriation against large companies and large capital. A proposal that fortunately not even the most radical left has had the courage to advance in Italy.
For example: Let’s suppose that Mbappé had accepted an offer from PSG of 50 million euros, net of 400 thousand, on the remaining 49,600,000 euros he would have had to pay 44,640,000 euros in taxes, with a net gain of “only” 5,200,000 euros. Who knows if he would have taken it well! Who knows, above all, if in hindsight he would have had the same ardour in leading a ferocious tirade against the threatening rightin the press room during the European Championships.
However, it is now established that, in an attempt to distance the right from governmentthe centrists have given ample space to the most reactionary left. In France we will see some beautiful things: prepare the popcorn.
