Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, R-Nev., told Bloomberg News he was hopeful that a deal could be reached before the end of the day and noted that the negotiations are “progressing.” Unless Congress acts, approximately $600 billion in automatic tax increases and government spending cuts are due to going into effect at the end of the year.
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.

You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve got to say.
