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.

Tympanic membrane and Meniere’s syndrome are also considered as the cause of tinnitus. It’s not just the tinnitus that destroys lives, but the signs and symptoms that include it. For many of these people, their tinnitus will only last for a short time period, whereas many others will have it for their remaining lives.
Greetings! Very useful advice within this article! It is the little changes that will make the most significant changes. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
Awesome article.
I think what you composed made a bunch of sense. However, think on this, what if you were to write a awesome title? I ain’t saying your information isn’t good, but what if you added a post title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Dollar Mixed On New Years Eve is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write post titles to grab viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
