You're gonna nitpick numbers
Hollande just use 75% tax to get voters. Never implement it.
The tax rates in France in 2018 (for income earned in 2017) are as follow:
Up to €9,807: 0%
€9,807–27,086: 14%
€27,086–72,617: 30%
€72,617–153,783: 41%
€153,783+: 45%
Dec 2, 2018
So explain the economic collapse that ensued, the Yellow Vest protests that are going on now, and the fact that French pay more taxes than any other country in Europe.

There is no collapse: France economy continues to grow at a snail pace.
The french governments continues to do "reforms" to liberalize the economy. In Macron's case mostly on the labor rights.
In the meantime, they try to close the deficit by increasing taxes. Hence the yellow vests.
That would be win-win. Once Switzerland tried to do it.

So France is your idea of a stable government working for the people? Funny, the French don't share your sentiment...
Why Macron was adding this tax, well because he was looking for financing France part of GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Paris Agreement
If you want to collect more tax from the rich, do away with tax-exempt giving to charities, religion, and foundations. For example, the vast majority of Bill Gate's stock profits will never be taxed at all because the Gates Foundation is tax exempt.
Yes, they do. Just like you do. According to the law, that is.

And so the problem is not what they spend, but what they don't spend.
Money should circulate, not be accumulated.
I'm under the impression that most rich people have their money invested. Does that not circulate the money?

If you think it is the same: give me all your money, I will lend it back to you at interests.
No difference, right?

As a percentage of tax revenue, the 'rich' pay waaay more than everyone else. In fact, they carry the freight.

If anyone has anything to say that might help quantify the value of a "rich person dollar" vs a "middle class dollar", I'd love to hear it.
Yeah... over $150K is really RICH.
How about over $1 million?
