    You can raise taxes for rich people AND remove public founding for enterprises. LFI ( melanchon) proposes these two :

    1. The “zucman tax” aims to tax the 1800 richest french families at a rate of 2%, Wich would bring 40billion.
    2. for public founding, a senatorial report showed that 211 billion in tax cuts or direct founding were given ( without any requirements of employment or anything) to enterprises (some of which layer of ppl and gave out dividends while being under public founding). Those could be recalculated.

      2%. 40 BILLION.

      This will never not blow my freaking mind. No matter how we illustrate it, it’s still hard to fathom.

        Yeah, and it’s 1800 families. It should be noted that the proposal was rejected, deemed infeasible meanwhile our previous PM was saying that we NEED to remove 2 public hollyday…
