Can you imagine paying 75% of your income to taxes like lawmakers in France proposed on folks making a certain amount. Yes they were wealthy (1.5 mill or close to that) imo, that's what happens when you skate down that road of supporting everyone and having socialistic ideals. Our country is headed that way, with the help of liberal politicians and media, but at some point the money makers stop making money or the big money makers say goodbye and take their citizenship/money elsewhere.
