May I remind you that the "Cour des Comptes" was lead by Philippe séguin from 2004 to his death in 2010 ?
And that guy was in the same party than Sarkozy, but i guess you don't care. And it's that same guy that criticised Sarkozy for having hired an extra 100 people at the Elysée. Who needs that many cooks, servants and nail polishers ?
And he was also pinned as a survey / poll addict, ordering up to 3 polls a week. It must be a sign that he was confident his policies were beeing well received on the lower end.
Or what about these two advisors that while working for the ministry of health (a freemason) were still paid by Servier ?
That even if the molecule was deemed having no health benefits at all, they still used tax money to help sell it, even though it was an established fact that the med was dangerous. It is suspected to have caused over 500 deaths.

So yeah, I can see how some rich, ignorant "heir" who doesn't understand the first thing about reality can make such statements. What I don't understand is how your average person who works for a living can describe to such utter nonsense.
Please, any of you that earn $150k and above....and live in a fish world country (I.e. Not france) please tell me how and why you agree with this nonsense.

The fact that the very rich in France expressed their willingness to pay more taxes in order to support and show solidarity says a lot about their culture. That is the interesting part to me. The values of a people.

Being that the banks in France are being called upon to cover the butt of Greece, (which will eventually pull on the people themselves through bank fees) giving money to the banks to help them do this is considered a way to lighten how much they shall have to pull from the people to do this.

France is a first world country. They have the 14th highest Human Development Index in the world and have a per capita income that is at a similar rank.

3. It is unconstitutional to tax one group over another as it violates the clause that all laws must be uniform throughout the united states.

And apparently old folks in France can't afford air conditioners since they've given all of their income to the state.

Solidarity amongst the french people does not include people who are not french.

Now you're just becoming a pathetic apologist.
You look super-rich to that group of gypsies eying you from that alley.

Yeah yeah yeah.
I am disgusted that the super rich in this world are sitting on their arses while millions of people starve to death.
So, get up and save them - don't look for glory, just do it.
