Unlike the former wealth solidarity tax (ISF), abolished in 2018 and replaced by a real estate wealth tax (IFI), it would particularly take into account the shares held in companies, which constitute a significant part of the assets of the "ultrarich," according to the term used notably by Gabriel Zucman. #TaxeZucman #Richesse #Fiscalité (translated)

Cerfia wrote that in 1975, France devoted 6.5% of its GDP to education and 7% to pensions. Nearly 50 years later, according to the account, the share of pension spending had reached 14%, while that of education had remained around 7%. Cerfia thus indicated that France was now devoting twice as much of its national wealth to pensions as to education. #France #Éducation #Retraites (translated)

Louis Duclos described as a "seismic" event the fact that one-third of the national education budget is devoted to pensions, while high school students were protesting. He stated that pension expenditures exceeded 420 billion euros, more than the GDP of Portugal, and estimated that they were widening the gap between generations and weighing on the working population. He also mentioned the condition of certain high schools, the unfilled teaching positions, the difficulties related to Parcoursup, and the challenges faced by young people in finding employment or housing. According to him, the youth had reasons to be angry, although he specified that the retirees, who had contributed all their lives, should not be blamed. He called for a profound reform of the system and advocated for France to invest more in its youth. #Éducation #Retraites #Jeunesse (translated)

Matthieu Pigasse presented a negative assessment of ten years of Macronism. According to IMF figures published the day of his message, France was expected to register growth of 0.4% in 2026, among the lowest in the world, he wrote. He felt that Emmanuel Macron and his government had to answer for a policy that, in his view, had left the country fractured, public services weakened, poverty and inequality at historic levels, as well as a youth worried about their future. He also labeled the promise of “trickle-down” as a lie. Pigasse believed that the radical right and Marine Le Pen were proposing an economic policy similar to that of Macronism, but accompanied, in his view, by hatred. He called for another policy driven by a radical left in government and for massive investments in education, health, industry, and ecological transition. To finance these priorities, he proposed advocating at the European level for monetary creation dedicated to public investment and converting public debts held by the Eurosystem into perpetual debts at zero interest rate. He also advocated for increases in low wages, a strengthening of wage negotiations, and tying public aid to commitments on employment and remuneration. Finally, he called for greater contributions from large fortunes and capital income to fund common goods. According to him, growth should benefit workers and those neglected by the system, with the goal of better-shared wealth and rebuilt public services. #Macronisme #France #Croissance (translated)

I am and I admit it, a problem for those who want to do old-fashioned politics, namely to tax ever more, which has led us to the current situation, unlike countries that have lowered taxes to create more wealth. On the contrary, Georges-Louis Bouchez took the opportunity to re-emphasize his red line, playing this "alone against all" position: "I am and I admit it, a problem for those who want to do old-fashioned politics, namely to tax ever more, which has led us to the current situation, unlike countries that have lowered taxes to create more wealth. I propose a model that is more suited to our challenges: a reduction in public spending, a reduction in taxes for more economic growth and collective well-being," responded the liberal leader. #Belgique #Politique #GeorgesLouisBouchez (translated)

I am and I admit it, a problem for those who want to do old-fashioned politics, namely to always tax more, which has brought us to the current situation, unlike countries that have lowered taxes to create more wealth.
