A group of 16 of the richest people in France has signed a petition asking the French government to increase their taxes. The group includes Liliane Bettencourt, the billionaire heiress of L’Oreal; Christophe de Margerie, the head of oil giant Total; Frederic Oudea of bank Société Générale; and Jean-Cyril Spinetta, president of Air France KLM SA...
The group says the government should create a “special contribution” that would target the rich.
“We are conscious of having benefited from a French system and a European environment that we are attached to and which we hope to help maintain,” the petition said.
Oh well, Jonah may still have support of the descendants of Coco Chanel.
