Socialists control France now. Not that you’d ever notice…
Taxes on some wealthy French top 100 pct of income
More than 8,000 French households’ tax bills topped 100 percent of their income last year, the business newspaper Les Echos reported on Saturday, citing Finance Ministry data.
The newspaper said that the exceptionally high level of taxation was due to a one-off levy last year on 2011 incomes for households with assets of more than 1.3 million euros ($1.67 million).
President Francois Hollande’s Socialist government imposed the tax surcharge last year, shortly after taking office, to offset the impact of a rebate scheme created by its conservative predecessor to cap an individual’s overall taxation at 50 percent of income.
It can’t happen here though, right?
Progressives just want us to pay our fair share.
VIDEO: Eric Holder Doesn’t Know Anything
And he’s not alone. Obama doesn’t know what happened at the IRS, Hillary doesn’t know what happened in Benghazi and no one seems to know anything about Fast and Furious.
Isn’t it funny how no one in the Obama administration seems to know anything? It’s like dealing with a bunch of five year-olds. Who broke this lamp? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

It’s good to be the king and Obama should know because no matter how hard things get for average Americans he lives the high life.
So what if scandals are unfolding all around him? All that matters is that Obama’s having a good time.
Amid scandals, White House announces star-studded concert in East Room
Amid sequester and scandal in Washington, the White House announced Friday that the president and first lady will be hosting another concert as part of their “In Performance at the White House” series later this month.
The event will be held in the East Room of the White House and honor singer and songwriter Carole King, who will be awarded the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. King will be the first woman to receive the award, the White House noted in their announcement.
The program — to be streamed on the White House website and broadcast on PBS stations the evening of May 28 — will also feature performances by Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel, Jesse McCartney, Emeli Sandé, James Taylor, Trisha Yearwood and King herself.
Tone deaf much?
I’ll answer Dr. K’s question. They think, or at least hope, that we’re very stupid and in the case of people who believed Obama’s hope and change bullshit, they’re right.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that they knew about it because they were behind it, but that aside, it’s good to see the MSM coming around on this story.

Evidence emerges that Obama administration official knew of IRS targeting during 2012 campaign
(CBS News) WASHINGTON – There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups.
Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS.
The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.
It’s the first evidence that someone within the Obama administration knew about the practice during the presidential campaign.
It is unknown whether anyone in the White House was told of the federal investigation.
Please. Of course they knew. This is how Obama rolls.
He won his senate races by smearing his opponents. Of course, he didn’t do it himself. In those cases just like now, it was some lowly campaign person operating on their own.
These people are sleazebags and they’ll do anything to win while accusing their opponents of exactly what they themselves are doing.
Music Break: HOIST THAT RAG
This song always makes me think of Ace of Spades HQ. I think it’s the quote on the banner.
