"The eye-catching and eye-watering 75% payroll tax rate in...

“The eye-catching and eye-watering 75% payroll tax rate in France was quietly killed off by the government Thursday after failing to raise significant revenue. The tax was also accused of driving high earners away from France.”

“The tax raised only €420 million ($505.8 million) in 2013 and 2014 combined, less than 0.5% of France’s budget deficit.”

President Francois Hollande, who made the 75% rate a key plank of his election in 2012, .. brought in Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild investment banker, as economy minister.”

“He replaced socialist firebrand Arnaud Montebourg”

“France’s jobless rate climbed back to 10.4% in the latest figures, wiping out a year’s worth of modest progress in reducing the number.”

Hmmm … socialists …

France Just Quietly Killed Its Failed 75% Supertax

The tax was a big election promise from President Francois Hollande.

“There’s no more money coming from Washington after the…

“There’s no more money coming from Washington after the state exhausts the $1.1 billion it received from the federal government to get the Obamacare exchange up and running.”

That’s a lot of money for a website.

“Covered California, .. is facing a nearly $80 million budget deficit for its 2015-16 fiscal year.”

“Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee acknowledged in December that there are questions about the “long-term sustainability of the organization.””

“A 2013 report by the state auditor, .. stated that, until the state’s health insurance exchange actually started enrolling Californians in health plans, its “future solvency” was ”uncertain.” Thus, Covered California was listed as a “high-risk” issue for the state.”

“Covered California’s enrollment growth for 2015 was a mere 1 percent .. Meanwhile, California’s exchange managed to retain only 65 percent of previous enrollees”

Raise taxes, problem solved.

Red ink could kill Covered California

After two previous extensions, the open enrollment period for Covered California ends April 30. That deadline just might prove to be the tipping point for the state’s two-year-old health insurance exchange.

By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) – Eating sugar may quiet stress signals in the brain, leading some people to seek comfort by consuming more sweets and making the habit very hard to break, a small study suggests. In a two-week experiment, 19 women drank three beverages a day sweetened either with r…
