Vautrin believed that debt should occupy a central place in the upcoming presidential election. He warned that France risked, in his view, gradually losing its sovereignty and that capital holders could buy its assets. He criticized the left for ignoring the issue and denying the existence of a problem. He criticized Pigasse's publications on debt, which Thomas Porcher would have approved, as well as left-wing economists invited on television, particularly Thomas Piketty and Gabriel Zucman. Vautrin accused this political current of being unable to defend responsible management of public finances without calling into question its redistribution model. He also recalled a phrase attributed to Margaret Thatcher about the lack of money from others that socialism, according to her, would lead to. On the right, he perceived a gradual awareness of the problem, which he considered insufficient. He viewed the most likely scenario as a crisis followed by drastic cuts in spending. These cuts risked, in his opinion, being poorly understood by a population used to public money for over 40 years, exacerbating unrest and trapping the country in a difficult cycle. #Dette #ÉlectionPrésidentielle #Souveraineté (translated)

Philippe Lemoine asked what concrete demands the protesters were making, believing that their discontent with the stagnation or decline of real disposable income did not constitute a proposal in itself. He stated that they would be unable to present realistic measures and would merely demand more money or suggest "taking from the rich." He added that the reinstatement of the wealth tax (ISF) and the establishment of the Zucman tax would, in his opinion, bring in 20 to 30 billion euros at most, while there would still be 100 billion to find. He asked where the protesters proposed to find that amount. #Revendiquer #Economie #Manifestation (translated)

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)

The socialist deputy Mickaël Bouloux declares that the Zucman tax, aimed at imposing at least 2% on assets exceeding 100 million euros, is being debated in the National Assembly, while asserting that very large fortunes find ways to avoid this taxation. #TaxeZucman #FranceInsoumise #Fiscalité (translated)

Among the possible proposed solutions is that of economist Gabriel Zucman, already presented to the European Parliament and analyzed by Il Fatto: a very high threshold, 100 million in wealth, no exemptions, and a tax that requires the super-rich to reach a minimum level of taxation, but only paying the difference compared to the taxes already paid. #Patrimoniale #GiuseppeConte #Diseguaglianza (translated)

The head of the French artificial intelligence startup Mistral, Arthur Mensch, stated last year that he did not have the financial capacity to pay the Zucman tax of 2% on high fortunes, while calling for the competitiveness of France to be maintained. #Fiscalité #Impôt #ThomasPiketty (translated)

Antoine Copra stated that Gabriel Zucman had published the same graph as LFI on the same day, in order, according to him, to make people believe that France had a revenue problem rather than a spending problem. He added that the choice of 2017, a record year, as a reference constituted a misleading method that he claimed had been debunked "X times," and then asked if Zucman was a member of a party. #Économie #France #PolitiquesPubliques (translated)

Budget debates in the National Assembly are fueled by the issue of the contribution of the ultra-rich, with proposals such as the reintroduction of the Zucman tax and controversies over the Dutreil pact, illustrating the tensions between taxation and encouraging entrepreneurship as the presidential election approaches. #Taxation #UltraRiches #Budget2027 (translated)
