  1. A quotation from Horace

    Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE.
    A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,
    Have never been able to lower the sick man’s fever
    Or drive out his worries. The proprietor must be well
    If he plans to enjoy the good things he’s gathered together.
     
    [Quod satis est cui contingit, nihil amplius optet.
    Non domus et fundus, non aeris acervus et auri
    Aegroto doniini deduxit corpore febres,
    on animo curas; valeat possessor oportet,
    Si conpertatis rebus bene cogitat uti.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 46ff (1.2.46-50) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]

  6. Bruno Le Maire, en pleine épiphanie présidentielle, se dit favorable à ce "qu’on demande une contribution aux très grosses fortunes", estimant sur BFM que ces recettes supplémentaires "pourraient financer des services d’urgence dans les hôpitaux et des universités". On se demande qui a été le ministre de l’Économie et des finances pendant sept ans sous la présidence Macron...

  7. Je découvre que les masques que l'on portait pendant le Covid, servent non seulement à masquer certaines plaques minéralogiques de motos, mais aussi certaines plaques de voitures.
    Bon, c'est pas un scoop.

    Mais voir que certains ont les moyens de se payer une Tesla (il parait que ça peut rouler vite) et pas envie de payer des contraventions (tiens, véhicule garé sur une place livraison 😆), finalement, c'est pas un scoop non plus !

    Y a pas de petit profit !

  8. A quotation from Basil the Great

    You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.
     
    [ἀλλὰ μὴν φαίνῃ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Πόθεν ταῦτα; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι τὴν οἰκείαν ἀπόλαυσιν προτι μοτέραν τῆς τῶν πολλῶν παραμυθίας ποιούμενος. Ὅσον οὖν πλεονάζεις τῷ πλούτῳ, τοσοῦτον ἐλλείπεις τῇ ἀγάπῃ.]

    Basil of Caesarea (AD 330-378) Christian bishop, theologian, monasticist, Doctor of the Church [Saint Basil the Great, Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας]
    Sermon (368 ca.), "To the Rich [Ὁμιλία πρὸς τοὺς πλουτούντας]" [tr. Schroeder (2009)]

  9. 🔴🇫🇷FLASH - Éric #Lombard, éphémère ministre de l’Économie et des Finances, confirme que les #riches échappent massivement à l’impôt en France. Au détour d’une phrase, il a confirmé à Libération que « des milliers de foyers fiscaux fortunés ne paient aucun #impôt sur le revenu ».

  10. L'ex-ministre de l'Economie Eric Lombard revient dans Libé sur l'impunité fiscale des plus hauts patrimoines: "parmi les personnes les plus fortunées, des milliers ont un revenu fiscal de référence de zéro. Ils ne paient aucun impôt sur le revenu ! Au lieu de payer des charges sociales sur leur salaire, ils se font rémunérer dans les holdings". liberation.fr/politique/eric-l

  12. A quotation from Horace

    But to go mad with watching, nights and days,
    To stand in dread of thieves, fires, runaways
    Who filch and fly, — in these if wealth consist,
    Let me rank lowest on the paupers’ list.
     
    [An vigilare metu exanimem, noctesque diesque
    formidare malos fures, incendia, servos,
    ne te conpilent fugientes, hoc iuvat? Horum
    semper ego optarim pauperrimus esse bonorum.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Mæcenas,” l. 76ff (1.1.76-79) (35 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

  13. A quotation from Matthew Henry

    His wealth: He was very rich, v. 2. He was very heavy, so the Hebrew word signifies; for riches are a burden, and those that will be rich do but load themselves with thick clay, Hab. ii. 6. There is a burden of care in getting them, fear in keeping them, temptation in using them, guilt in abusing them, sorrow in losing them, and a burden of account, at last, to be given up concerning them. Great possessions do but make men heavy and unwieldy.

    Matthew Henry (1662-1714) English writer, religious philosopher
    Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Genesis 13:2 (1706)

  14. A quotation from Horace

                    You sleep, gaping,
    On your bags of gold, adore them like hallowed
    Relics not meant to be touched, stare as at gorgeous
    Canvases. Money is meant to be spent, it buys pleasure:
    Did you know that? Bread, vegetables, wine, you can
    Buy almost everything it’s hard to live without.
     
                [Congestis undique saccis
    indormis inhians et tamquam parcere sacris
    cogeris aut pictis tamquam gaudere tabellis.
    Nescis, quo valeat nummus, quem praebeat usum?
    Panis ematur, holus, vini sextarius, adde
    quis humana sibi doleat natura negatis.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Mæcenas,” l. 70ff (1.1.70-75) (35 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]

  15. CW: Votez pour imposer les riches

    Dans le contrat de législature, il y a une loi de finances rectificative le 4 août.
    Elle comprendrait évidemment l'#ISF, un impôt sur le patrimoine.
    Il y a aussi de quoi limiter l'accumulation : "Supprimer la flat tax". Qu'est-ce ?

    Au lieu d'imposer les intérêts de l'épargne selon le même barème que les revenus du travail, les gains financiers sont taxés à 12,8 % pour l'impôt sur le revenu. De fait, la #flatTax offre une imposition allégée pour les gains financiers si vous avez des revenus confortables.

    Le nouveau Président de la République a organisé son application au plus vite : le 1er janvier 2018.
