Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne have seen fit to publicly bury the project of a tax on financial wealth. The Minister of Ecology, Christophe Béchu, even considers that the subject is not taboo.
The billions earned by a new levy would not compensate for those lost with the exodus of taxpayers and the fall in taxes. The silence of the Élysée is disturbing. Not without some good reasons: the ISF encourages tax exile, discourages productive investment, and breaks the attractiveness and image of the France.
