A week ago, one of our most famous singer decided to leave the country.
Johnny Hallyday (the one moving out) is gonna spend 6 months and a day in Gstaad, Switzerland for … vacationning.

jh

Actually not really vacationning. He is moving out there to … pay less income tax hahaha

Standing ovation ! Hourayyyyyy !!!
I stood up and i applaused …… definitely !

Ok, he is gonna pay less tax but how much ?

According to many papers, Johnny is making around 6 millions euros a year. (weird, it seems not much at all)
In France, he will pay 3.6 millions (60% which is a new ceiling rate ; there was no limit a time not so far).
In Swiss, he is gonna receive in his box mail a paper claiming … 150k euros (2.5%) !!
Yep in a time not so far, we were the only country where your tax could be more than 100% of all your income ! In some other words you made 100euros but have to pay 110euros as tax for instance ! Therefore you work but have to either borrow money or sell your goods to pay your tax !
In some others words again, the only country where you get poored by working !
Silly ugh from the country of the Human Rights !

How is it possible ?
Ask to the owners of fields in the family for generations. INSANE !

Why does a such announcement did so much noise ?

In fact i don’t really understand why.
A little bit and i might say for instance imagine Spielberg still making business in the US and moving out “i don’t know where to pay less tax”.
However Madona moved to London and i don’t remember that was a “hot” people’s event years ago.
But in France it is because Johnny is going away with his millions. Millions made in France but spend elsewhere :D

Why do I applause ?

I’m not a fan of him. I’m not the fan of anyone (maybe a future billet about “Being fan of …” ^_^ ). I like some of his songs ; quite old ballads mostly.
I applause because if it is a way to open wide our politic’ eyes, i wish and hope many others will follow !
Johnny leaving France was a topic debate for our politics for days. Gauche - Droite (our 2 main politic parties) all regret his leaving.
Even the president said few words. The president is a fan, he likes the singer, he likes Johnny for himself but regrets about him moving to Gstaad. He said something like it is against the citizen’s duty / civic rights.

There is sooooooo much “big money” such as Johnny who already left the country to settle either in Belgium, Luxembourg, … because of our national rate tax ! But it is the first time ever that ALL the politics had public regrets.

Let me laugh.

As a human being, you learn from your mistake. Agreed with me ?
Few days after Johnny’s announce (actually papers said it, not Johnny himself ; he is mute since the beginning of all of this) the leader of la Gauche said something like if they win in 2007 (presidential election ; his wife is running to be the first woman president), they will cancel the tax ceiling rate (now 60%). Which means if you really make big money in France, 90% of your money would be gone into the pocket of ……the administration ! Or in some other word, to others.
Those people want the poors living with the poors. I’m wondering how a poor can help a poor :conf:
Nature is made of grass, cows and predators. Cows eat grass ; predators eat cows. That is life !
Imagine nature with
only cows. Now imagine a country with only poors, that is France :D
Even in Vietnam (!!) there is a rich-class (usd millionaires in a country where the average salary is not even 100usd a month), a middle-class and a poor-class. Like anywhere except in France where rich-class flee, there is no middle-class. I assume i’m poor since there is no middle-class out here :’(

As being a cow, i told you that i do believe that grass is greener elsewhere … until you find out that the grass is artificial (fake) (the extension is not from me but a minister) ^_^

(hahaha i’m pretty proud of the part above :D it might be because it is 4am ^_^ )

Pour enterrer le clou (idiom saying something like “to finish off yourself”), you might know that we are the only country where people work 35hours a week.
A bunch of economists said that it kills our country, big boss said so as well as the little grocery owner but if la Gauche win the presidential in 2007, it is gonna be extended and re-enforced in french companies.
Or the power to shoot your feet … all by yourself ! lol

A funny thing from the opposite side (la Droite) about those 35hours.

When Sony, Intel, IBM, … have to protect their inventions or discoveries, they spend millions and millions in patents to protect them.
About our “Made in France 35 hours“, even if it was free on the market, no one would use it :D
PS : Just remind readers that i’m not supporting neither Gauche nor Droite.
I like some ideas from la Gauche and some from la Droite. Center ? Maybe but not really.
I have stopped believe in those clowns, all of them. Those who vote laws and steal your hard working money !
Yes, STEAL since they (politics) use your money with NO LIMIT ! Where is it gone ? Still wondering.
Oops millions are gone in the stupid tramway in Paris while some universities are out of date/age (your choice) ! Search for pictures in google ; you won’t be disappointed.

Running my tiny business, I have to justify to the administration all my expenses ! If i badly loose my 30euros gas bill, i could have a ticket and be charge for “personal use not for company” !

Quite enough for today ; i’m so mad anytime i’m thinking about those Dinosaures running the country for eras !
