France's Social TVA: An 'Idea from the Moon'?
France's Social TVA: A 'Lunar Idea'? François Lenglet Critiques France's High Tax Burden and Spending. Paris, France – In a recent segment on RTL Matin, prominent economist François Lenglet offered a scathing assessment of France's social TVA (value-added tax), calling it "a lunar idea." Lenglet's criticism centers on France's record-high tax rates and the perceived lack of control over government spending. "The problem with the social security contributions isn't the funding; we already dedicate more money than other European countries," Lenglet stated. He emphasized the need for greater fiscal responsibility before committing additional funds. Lenglet's comments highlight a growing debate about France's economic direction and the need for efficient use of taxpayer money. The segment underscores the need for a critical evaluation of government spending to ensure effective use of resources and improve economic stability.
