Then we loving got the Jules because nothing beat have a clean slate like having the kind of moralistically superior left wing colonialist. Well at least they were anticlerical. Who knew French history was so exciting

It might be to distract from stories about Alexis Corbière living in a HLM even though him and his wife earn about 14000€ a month. They started renting in 2003 and the flat only became a HLM in 2016 (and Corbière earned less before he entered parliament) but yeah. Edit: One of Gérard's brightest done hosed up quote:The man, who works for the central territorial intelligence services (SCRT) had been keeping tabs on a suspected Islamist extremist.

I feel sad for France. The US is lead by an off-brand Berlusconi with half the charm and a quarter the competence, and both houses of its legislature is ruled by a party of people who despise him for the most part but are assholes in their own right, but at least some American politicians are able to spend a minute or two with their foot outside their mouth.

That's because he's not anywhere near as far to the left as his right-wing critics pretend. Edit: Not saying he shouldn't be criticized for this. It's just that right-wingers are even worse in all ways. Kassad fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Oct 16, 2017 |

The constitutional court has decided that it was unconstitutional to have a tax on dividends. Shareholders' money is sacred, you don't touch it. Result: the state will need to refund 10 loving billions in total to corporations. Make your bets right now on how many public services will be slashed to pay for that.

En effet, la Cour a rappelé le principe qui interdit la double imposition lorsque qu'une filiale alloue des dividendes à sa maison mère située dans un autre Etat de l'Union. It's clearer there: https://www.marianne.net/debattons/tribunes/suppression-de-la-taxe-sur-les-dividendes-une-incompetence-fiscale-10-milliards quote:Cette décision était anticipée dès lors que la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne, saisie par des entreprises françaises, avait retoquée la taxe sur les dividendes reçus d’une filiale établie dans l’Union européenne. Mais, les dividendes en provenance des filiales établies en France ou dans les États hors de l’Union européenne restaient toujours assujettis à cette taxe. Basically, EU laws created an imbalance by piercing a loophole in the text, which made the entire law discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional.

Nah, if the ECJ struck down part of the tax, then the Conseil Constitutionnel following suit is pretty logical. (They’re still shits who struck down as anticonstitutional the 75% tax bracket tho so gently caress em)

Dommolus Magnus posted:What? Does your constitution cap taxes at 74.9%? Why? It is actually a pretty complicated matter. Had it actually been a new tax bracket on the income tax, that would have been fine. However, the government decided that since they wanted it to be only temporary, they'd create a new tax. But instead of using households as the basis for the calculation of income for that tax, they used individuals. This created a situation of inequality in households where one person earned over 1 million a year and the other didn't. "Rupture d'égalité" = Conseil Constitutionnel smackdown.

So, if I understood this correctly, they took offence to Household A with two people earning 999k each not being subject to th tax and Household B with one person earning 1000k and another person earning 0 being subject to the tax despite Household A clearly being the richer one? This seems quite reasonable to me. Shouldn't the blame lie with lawmakers for making a badly thought out law?
