Lower taxes, deficits, debt: the 2007 draft budget isn't that dream all Governments

No Government can only dream of presenting a false budget. Taxes Since 2002, compulsory have increased by 1 point, 44 of GDP: the French will pay more charges, taxes, contributions of any kind when a minority of them have benefited from cumulative relief. The deficit He slightly down for the State budget but is progressing for the whole of the public accounts. The debt It has already increased by almost 10 points of the national wealth since 2002 and the decrease in 2007 is that an optical effect, obtained by the cash management of the State which the rules have changed and revenues from privatization so exceptional. This is a misleading budget proposal. I dare not say falsified but we are not far away. Everything is false. I therefore solemnly that an audit is conducted by the same people that chose Jean-Pierre Raffarin in 2002 to establish the truth which the French need. It will also allow the presidential candidates make commitments a reality-based.

That you disagree most

The tax cuts. Since 2002, they are financed on credit, i.e. by debt and therefore supported by our children and grandchildren. It is irresponsible. The first commitment of a Government therefore, conscious of the future guarantor of virtue in the best sense of the term and facing a budget deficit of more than EUR 40 billion should be not to devote no margin of manoeuvre to tax cuts as long as the balance of the accounts will not be restored.

In the event of victory in 2007, will return on tax cuts decided since 2002

Everything of simplification will be kept; What is the order of injustice will be deleted. We will not return to tax reductions granted to households earning between 20,000 and 40,000 euros per year. But we will return to those planned for 2007, with the highest income. Indeed, relief from tax determined since 2002 represent a gain of 18.500 euro for a single person having a salary of 300,000 euros, against 219 euros only for a same single winner of 20,000 euros. The gain is 600 euros for a couple with two children with a salary of 300,000 euros per year and 500 euros only if his salary is 50,000 euros. This is the fiscal policy of the Government! It is the principle of generosity to exclusive use of the rich.

The Government was right to increase the EPP

The adjustment is legitimate, but should be as early as 2002 that the EPP is a thirteenth month near the minimum wage employee. Experience, this mechanism has perverse effects: it made the State a suppletive for the wage policy of firms. And it is a source of misunderstandings. Thus, some modest taxpayers recently had repay an overpayment to the public Treasury. It will have to reconsider the EPP in a comprehensive reform of the income tax.

You encourage the removal of the tax shield. Do you not underestimate the risk of relocation of high-income taxpayers

Since 2002, the full range to reduce the contribution of the important heritage was deployed: decrease in the tax on real estate capital gains, reduction in the rate of taxation of gifts and estates, development of the ISF, tax shield. Did return the expatriate heritage Non. All these devices create a considerable tax evasion without sustainable effect on investment.

Can the left win by saying that taxes will drop more

It will gain by telling the truth. To perpetuate the resumption and amplify the growth, which will be the great issue of 2007, will need to reduce the deficit, review the exemptions from social security contributions (23 billion euros in 2006), limit some incentives targeted tax cuts and select good spending, those who prepare the future (research, innovation, higher education, environment...) by providing subject less productive.

Can you avoid an increase in CSG

The Court of Auditors has compiled a worrying assessment of social auditors. I fail to see how we escape to a new levy on the financing of pensions. It may be the CSG, perhaps a contribution sitting on all of the produced wealth, perhaps yet another form. Social security such as budget and public debt, the legacy is heavy and flawed presentation.
