For the first time in his life Karl Marx would be proud of Monsieur Hollande.

There’s no room in Western leadership for Marxist scumbags.

france is hosed, anyway. sooner or later, the entire thing will collapse. any “constitution” that allows a tax, but prohibits a particular tax rate, is no constitution at all.
the french electorate voted to commit suicide. they should be allowed to finish their work.

Yeah, diss France (predictably, YAWN!) while never admitting that no tax in this paradise of ours can ever or will ever be declared unconstitutional.

Frances Constitutional Council ruled that the tax band did not guarantee equality for taxpayers because two households with the same total revenue could end up with different tax bills. Hollande will simply "fix" the problem by making sure those households pay the same exhorbitant tax bill.
To: MotorCityBuck
Sorry about that!

Yes,
and the French SC could grant summary judgement to
an appeal of this law etc etc until it’s LOW ENOUGH.
This, however might take some time. EH?

The problem is not all families with the same income, would be paying the same taxes.
I don’t know much about the French tax system — but, it sounds like they don’t allow income splitting. (Neither does Canada — yet.) Without income splitting, households where one spouse earns a lot more than the other, pay much more taxes than a household with the same total income, and two (more or less) equal incomes for tax purposes.

The winner is: Yeti!
Worst part is, I can hear Howard Cosell sayng that in his distinctive way.
