French President Francois Hollande’s initiative to impose higher taxes on the rich suffered a setback after the country’s Constitutional Council on Saturday rejected the proposal, media reports said.
The French government had put up the measure to impose a tax rate as high as 75 percent on the country’s rich people, making them contribute more to the ongoing effort to reduce the public debt. The proposal, which was the highlight of Hollande’s election campaign, called for 75 percent tax on annual income above EUR 1 million.
The government is planning to redraft the proposal to impose high tax on the rich and resubmit it in a new budget law. The rejection of the measures will have likely cut EUR300-500 million from the forecast tax revenues next year, sources said.

If there is one word of advice I would leave to my children it would be, you. Tourism has brought Western culture into the Biblical city. Just be sure to have matching belts as well, nothing looks more ridiculous than a man wearing a pair of black shoes with a brown belt. Tattoos should be covered where possible Men should take out all piercings Women should take out any visible piercings expect for one pair of earrings (wait till you get the job to see if your nose ring is okay). Shorter as compared with that, it may just resemble a work out center suit; and even longer than this, it will resemble you’re not also comfortable displaying your feet. Your dress will be resold through one of their partners and twenty percent of the proceeds donated to your choice of a charity. A quick jiggle and your collection will level itself.
