There's already an Internet tax. Anyone in France who pays an ISP to provide an Internet connection pays VAT to the french state.
So it's really: "France proposes yet another Internet tax (and shall still be unable to reach budget equilibrium because of the ineffiency of its army of overpaid state-workers providing really-not-much to its citizens)".
- camus 14y agoThat's France , they dont know how to put people back to work , but they sure know how to tax everything out of existence , the results are simple : every new tax cent from businesses is paid by the final consumers one way or another, so prices are sky rocketing, making the poor poorer. France needs revenue it's true (and also cut spending big time), but needs to create good jobs first, and make it less risky(and painfull) for a startup to hire people. Population is getting older , and rightfully we need to take care of old people , who is going to pay for all that welfare stuff ?, not businesses , they are leaving France and are right to do so
- martinced 14y agoI know... I pity you if you're still in France. Do like me: I moved to Brussels. And I'll move further away if they try to take more liberties away from me. I hate socialists and communists and I'll go as far as needed as to not see them in power (Belgium is a bit special in that there are always coalitions of six, seven, eight political parties ruling the country... Including both liberals and socialists. So Belgium is safe for now). Come here, it's a good place to be.
