FRANCE FACING UNPRECEDENTED EXODUS...
People are leaving because of 'the impression that it’s impossible to succeed.'
Up to 2.5 million French people now live abroad, and more are bidding “au revoir” each year.
The people who are the “lifeblood” of France are leaving because of “the impression that it’s impossible to succeed.”
There is “an anti-work mentality, absurd fiscal pressure, a lack of promotion prospects, and the burden of debt hanging over future generations.”
“Young people feel stuck, and they want interesting jobs.
Businessmen say the labour code is complex and they’re taxed even before they start working.
Pensioners can also pay less tax abroad,” she says.
France’s unemployment rate is hovering around 10 per cent.
As for high-earners, almost 600 people subject to a wealth tax on assets of more than €800,000 (£630,000) left France in 2012, 20 per cent more than the previous year.

Texas was also recently ranked number one on Chief Executive magazine's best states for business for the tenth year in a row.
In that study, rankings were determined by surveying over 500 CEOs across the U.S. Business leaders were asked to grade states based on several categories including tax climates, regulations and red tape, and quality of living.
Ayn Rand would still love Texas. Collectivists statists would still hate her for being so right.

2014 on Pace for Record...
Unlike other developed nations, the U.S. taxes citizens on income they earn anywhere in the world. The rule dates to the Civil War. U.S. tax liabilities can also cover children born to Americans abroad, extending the reach of the Internal Revenue Service across generations as well as oceans. There are only partial offsets for double taxation for people who owe taxes both to the U.S. and a foreign country, and the reporting rules are onerous, experts say.

CLOUDED OUTLOOK: Japan's economy shrank 7.1 percent in the April-June quarter, immediately following the sales tax hike.
Japan's population is shrinking and aging, creating a smaller domestic market and placing heavier tax burdens on younger wage-earners. Household incomes peaked more than a decade ago, and a growing share of workers struggle to make ends meet on part-time, contract work.
After many years of deficit spending, Japan needs tax increases to get its battered government finances into better shape and cut its total public debt.
Funny how you and I have to spend/waste less to get out of debt.
Funny how the only solution for government is ALWAYS to raise taxes, never to spend/waste less.

If higher taxes was the answer we would have no poverty and America's children would be some of the best educated in the world.
They are not. Their potential is being wasted in government warehouses called Public School and the demand is always for more money.
France waves discreet goodbye to 75% super-tax...
Hollande first floated the 75-percent super-tax on earnings over 1 million euros ($1.2 million) a year in his 2012 campaign to oust his conservative rival Nicolas Sarkozy. It fired up left-wing voters and helped him unseat the incumbent.
"The reform clearly damaged France's reputation and competitiveness," said Jorg Stegemann, head of Kennedy Executive, an executive search firm based in France and Germany.
"It clearly has become harder to attract international senior managers to come to France than it was," he added.
...ever since, it has helped little in France's effort to bring its public deficit within European Union limits and mixing the message just as Hollande sought to promote a more pro-business image.
