the second-highest marginal tax rate in the EU at 55.4%.
Tax on what, labor income?
Because that is not what the rich live off. On the contrary it makes building wealth harder for the working class.
Also how do you arrive at 55.4%?
All I could find was a marginal income tax rate of up to 45% + an additional 3-4% for incomes over 250k. https://fr.icalculator.com/income-tax-rates/2025.html
Are you adding social security as well?
