When David Cameron, Britain’s conservative prime minister, was relayed on French radio news programmes on Tuesday morning declaring that he would “roll out the red carpet” to French companies escaping François Hollande’s plans to hoist taxes, he hit a raw spot for many French business leaders.

It was a double whammy when they saw the headline in the leading financial newspaper Les Echos proclaiming that President Hollande’s new Socialist government was set to include an extra tax on company dividends.

France will be like Kalifornicate and Illinois. High business taxes but no businesses to tax.

Somewhere I read if a company hired you in France you were virtually fireproof and guarenteed a job for life, no matter how poorly you performed it. The french made their own bed, now they can lay in it.
