France has seen an explosion in the number of households requesting a deferral or cancellation of part or all of their tax bill in recent years.

The country’s public finance body, the DGFiP, says there was a 22% rise in the number of such requests between 2011 and 2013, from around 177,000 to more than 216,000.

About as much thought as those palis who voted for Hamas and now whine about Israelis taking out their idiot rocket sites.

I actually think Le Pen is going to win their next election. Their equivalent of the uniparty here has been totally discredited in the minds of the people.

or the West Virginian coal miner’s voting for Obama after he told them he would take away their living from them.

Fools all.

Sucks when you discover you're one of the "other people" expected to pony up.

I have misgivings about Le Pen, but I’d like to see things shaken up over there.

It’s patriotic to go into debt to pay taxes while the government floods your country with people that hate you.

I don't think the French establishment will allow that to happen. Either Le Pen's opposition will unite, or the ballots will be rigged, or Le Pen will get caught up in a phony scandal.

There is a fourth possibility. Well, let's just say that Le Pen shouldn't take any long walks by herself.

The Beast will just have to starve next year. He’s killed too many of their jobs and handed them to non-tax paying illegals. This is going to come back and bite him in the butt so hard he’s going to have to buy Preparation H by the case.

I'm betting on Door #3. The united opposition is a longer shot and rigging ballots there takes real work. The French have been smart in avoiding "modernization" of their electoral system - electronic voting has not been adopted on a large scale.

Elections have consequences. Isn’t it? They wanted their socialist and they got it. Someone have to pay for a free healthcare.

Ouch..A socialist system takes and takes until I say no. By that time a lot of my neighbors say the same thing. NO. Then we get told how to feel.

10 million. The population is 67 million.

I wonder if any of the 9 million moslems and Africans pay taxes?
