I remember when Gerard Depardieu gave up his French nationality to avoid the supertax. Around the same time, the CEO of Renault (I think it was Renault) personally relocated to Luxembourg to avoid the supertax. I'm also old enough to remember when Britain had high income taxes for high earners - anything from 60% to 98% depending on the level of income. Unsurprisingly, lots of Brits left to go to America - it was called a brain drain.

By the way, a "wealth tax" is never intended to raise money, it's intended to punish the "wealthy". Ronald Reagan proved that in the 1980s when he drastically reduced taxes on upper income taxpayers, the Federal tax revenues soured to record heights. It's NOT about finance, it's about class warfare. If taking "wealth" of the "RICH" was a sound way to build a strong economy, the USSR would have been the richest nation on earth. Why doesn't the Left Wing realize this fact? It's because the people on the Far Left are haters, not thinkers.

The left, which has founded a coalition of 9 different parties (who don't agree on anything and can't even agree on a candidate for prime minister) just to win. The worst thing is that they managed to get the most seats because of this, but also because they made an alliance with President Macron's party so that the two blocs wouldn't have face-to-face candidates when the RN (right) was in the second round. It's important to point out that even if the RN finished 3rd (at the same time, with the alliance left+ext.left+Macron, it was a 12 vs 1 fight) RN had the most votes nationally. So now we have this magnificent coalition of left + extreme left... agreeing on nothing... and the left afraid that the extreme left will have too much power because they are dangerous.
