However, they are essential since it is this collection that allows money to enter the state coffers and support the many daily public services (school , hospital, social security…).

If Eric Coquerel, the NFP's Mr. Finance, indicated; à Libération that it was only a simulator set up by "activists& ;quot;, this is similar to the words of Mathilde Panot, another figure of the union of the left, who indicated on BFM TV that this would concern people who receive a salary of 4000 euros and more.

According to INSEE studies on the level of remuneration of the French, around three million people should therefore pay more income tax if the left managed to achieve this. pass its law. Data from the statistics institute shows 1.9 million people in the private sector. with this level of income and around 1 million people in the public. The first impacts of this reform would be the MPs themselves since they receive 5,953.34 ;nbsp;euros of compensation every month.
