CNSNEWS.COM reports:

France’s Socialist president, Francois Hollande, has proposed rasing the tax rate to 75 percent on income above 1 million euros ($1.24 million) a year, a proposal that liberal actor Will Smith expressed surprise over – but did not disagree with – when asked about it earlier this year.

    Will Smith is a very vocal supporter of obama and his socialist policies yet when it comes to paying his 'fair share' Will Smith doesn't seem too eager.

    Why?

    Because liberalism means you don't have to be consistent. So long as you claim to support redistribution for the poor, you are free to steal and be greedy without condemnation.

    This is why the richest men in America support Obama.

    75% is pure socialism. there is not where to go from there but to fascism...gbye, France.

    Why would Oblahblah's friends have to worry about it? They will just file for and receive exemptions. Its all on the rest of us.

    The whole point is the hypocrisy of Will Smith in supporting the Left but then making an un-Left statement.

    I agree so much, in fact, that I'm starting to think there oughtta be a law which mandates that anybody who supports raising taxes disproportionately on 'the rich' should be taxed at a rate of 80 percent themselves.

    Let's put that money where your mouths are, lib statists.

    I heartily agree. Sort of like George Soros or the Hollywood elite-you can bet they have accountants taking every loophole and dodge available to avoid paying a dime more tax than they absolutely have to. Then they whine about the "rich people" and say that people need to pay more taxes to support the poor. Gee. Maybe they could start by simply filling out a short form, without any write offs-and pay their 50%.

    I am not familiar with how they tax income in france while 75 percent is very high (if implemented here we'd all become homeless and jobless pretty fast) I think there they don't tax wages for working job at that rate that is corporate profits I believe. anyone know for sure? in americas past 90 percent was the rate, this wasn't for you and me working a regular job but corporate profits off capital investment. this rate was because corporations were formed temporarily for a purpose especially publics works and captial wasn't taxed only profits. they were exercising a privelege using resources and infrastuture beyond just exercising a right but exercise a want, profits. no doubt this rate was to prevent massive accumulations of assets and wealth (which we see today causes a few to have massive holdings leading to massive power over the gov to implement more stuff their their advantage. but now we are taxed to the hilt to prevent us from accumulating wealth and hence becoming independent and living life the way we want.

    The liberal sheep living off the taxpayers have no skin in the game, the limo liberals exploit every loophole they can and the liberal politicians pass new laws to keep it going. My favorite example is Warren Buffet who claims he wants to pay higher taxes but is currently suing the IRS for $643,000,000.00 , claiming they overtaxed him. What a hypocrite.

The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return, says ALG. The AP also reports Brainard was evidently not forthcoming to the committee: "The committee's top Republican is unhappy that the committee staff had to submit 10 sets of questions to Brainard before getting complete information about the discrepancies."

    4)Ron Kirk, Trade Representative: The former mayor of Dallas, Tex. owed nearly $10,000 in back taxes for 2005, 2006 and 2007; filed an amended ...

    When they came up with taxing CO2, which has been on the earth from the beginning, it shows their mental illness. What,s next, a photon tax on the sun with exemptions for cloudiness and night time. How about an earth rotation tax, or a solar system position tax (being 3 places from the sun is not free).

    Just like any rich person they have so many loopholes and deductions. Liberals take advantage of them jus tlike you would if you were that rich. They dont have topay their fair share because of this and nor do they want to ,but they want you and me to take care of the poor for them.

    I saw that clip on one of the news shows. Classic, "Do unto others, but leave mine alone".

    I understand that the Entertainment Industry enjoys tax deductions that other Americans don't. Better even than most Corporations enjoy. Saves the Motion Picture Industry many Billions each year.
