Same ol' progressive disaster story.

Quote:the result of a series of new levies enacted by President François Hollande as he seeks to plug the French deficit and bring down public debt – now riding at 92 per cent of GDP.

But the extent of the hikes has apparently even shocked the very Socialist ministers who implemented them.

The total tax pressure (taxes and social security contributions) will account for 46.3 per cent of GDP this year – a historic high – compared to 45 per cent in 2012.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
― Margaret Thatcher

One of the reader comments sums it up nicely - Even the Socialists think France is Taxed Enough Already.
