フランスは「黄色いベスト」運動に応じて減税の方向と

BBC France plans tax cuts to quell yellow vest anger 8 April 2019

「The French prime minister says cutting taxes must be a priority, in response to a national debate that focused on the yellow vest protesters' grievances.」

「France has the highest taxation rate among developed countries.」

「Data from the OECD economic think-tank for 2017 shows France top, with taxes equivalent to 46.2% of national output (GDP), with Denmark second (46%) and Sweden third (44%).」

　…まあ、それで増税といわれたら怒るわな。なんぼ再配分のためだといっても

「But France also has the highest level of social spending, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.」

「だったら、最初っから、俺らからは取らずによくね？」というすなおな感情を押し切り続けるのは結構難かも。
　そして、その理屈で言えば国税をとるべき金持ちについては

「One of Mr Macron's least popular measures, early in his presidency, was to scrap a special tax for the wealthy.」

　…ああーはいはい、大統領さんはえらいさんですねー、というしらけムードも出よう：

「Yellow vest protesters accuse Mr Macron of protecting the Parisian elite, especially the wealthy, while neglecting the hardship of citizens in the provinces.」

「Mr Philippe said another lesson from the debate was that "the balance must be restored between the cities and the regions". 」

　―まあ、授業のネタになりますな。
