france is very competitive. the way the society is organized, it's a different social pact which -- you are on your own for social issues, you have to plafor your own retirement, whereas in france, the government is here for you and that comes with the cost. so the government's percentage take-home from a french paycheck is much more higher because they are providing more protections. >> recent debates have focused on the wealth tax. why is it so controversial? >> it's only controversial for the people who are paying it. i characterize it as being a real estate tax. it's not any more expensive in france than it is in texas. the texas real estate taxes about 1.7% and in france, you pay about 1.5% at the most. the people subject to wealth tax are already not here. they are going to keep not coming here. the real issue in france is not the wealth tax, it's the succession tax. that is what is keeping rich people out of this country come out the wealth tax. most people that accumulate wealth over there lifetime or in
