The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) confirmed this last week.
With compulsory deductions (taxes and social contributions) which represent 46.1% of its annual GDP, national wealth, France remains the world champion, ahead of Denmark and Belgium.
This rate compares to an average of 34.3% in OECD countries, the global club of market economy democracies.
Admittedly, "fiscal fed up" has become a recurring theme and, joining action with words, the "yellow vests" have set the country on fire to denounce the carbon tax on fuels.
For its part, the executive - Macron, Castex, Le Maire - swears, wooden cross, iron cross, that there will be no new “Covid” tax increases as long as he is there.
Yet we must face the facts, the majority of French society is coping very well with this tax burden, even if some consider it extravagant to the point of leaving the country.
