The problem is the “left government” has adopted the most radical component’s entire program (except on nuclear energy and some foreign topics).
If a different minister passes the same “we will tax all french abroad and raises marginal tax to 90%” law, doesn’t really changes anything to the bottom line.
Except the US tax rate is much lower. Paying the sky high French taxes while getting zero in public services in return (unlike actual French tax residents) is basically robbery.
Also just because the US does it means it’s good.
