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.

近頃、世間で話題となっているソーシャルファンディング。あなたも知っていますか？中身は詳しく知らない、でも名前は聞いたことがあるという人もいるでしょう。
クラウドファンディングは還元の内容によって種類が違います。世界にも注目され、全国でも主流になりつつある融資型タイプは融資した金銭に対し、利息という形で還元があるため、クラウドファンディング初心者から上級者まで、どんどん参加者を増やしているといいます。
皆さんが気になっているのは、その利回りではないでしょうか？また、こんな話を聞いたことはないでしょうか？Crowdfundingの利回りは10％を超える。
マイナス金利政策が導入されて以降、銀行の普通預金の金利は0.01～0.03%となっており、1万円預けると1円～3円と雀の涙ほどでしかありません。
が、クラウドファンディングでは、例えば利回り10％とすると、1万円預けただけでも1000円となり、10万円預ければ一万円のリターンがあります。
First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas
out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Appreciate it!
