    French Taxes: 50% of net world-wide income at $65,000. (50%!) VAT of 20% - one of the most pernicious taxes ever invented. This regressive tax accounts for almost half of all the revenue of France! 3 separate but simultaneous social security taxes, equalling 10% of income. A national tax on all property. A national tax on living in the country Even small inheritances are taxed at a rate of up to 60% - the tax is due if the donor lived in France, the property is in France or the Recipient is in France. A wealth tax based on world-wide assets. Capital gains tax of up to 33% (less for residents) No. I do not understand the French. Where are the barricades?

      Google Translate: "Your irreverence is very cavalier." :laugh: It didn't really convey just how rude it actually was.

          知りません。横柄な人は自信てきな人より普通煩くて臭いと思います。 (Sorry if it's of dubious intelligibility - I haven't even thought about Japanese in weeks)

                        しかし、時々、信用は横柄であるように見えます Your 日本語 is probably more polished than mine. I still have a LOT to learn, and it's been a few years since I really needed it. :laugh: The translator I usually use (Excite[^]) reads that as: "An arrogant person is usually more troublesome than the confidence person and thinks the smell of it." I love those translators. They probably provide more Engrish[^] than anybody. But Jim Breen's[^] site is great for at least getting the meaning on kanji (which I usually need help with). Anywho, がんばってましょう、ね
