That's simply ridiculous: all such good things which make France better that U.S. are due exactly to what Macron want eliminate. His idea about flat tax has nothing to do with an "old left" taxation. It is just an "austerian" - typically "eurounionist" idea - coming form reaganism and ordoliberalism. Ask Krugman or Stiglitz (or Fitoussi) about that. The authors of this piece are typical Macron supporters. Macron is evidently inspired by Italy: born as the French Monti, he will end as the French Renzi.

Good luck, you all need a lot.
