Right to flee? Right to ask for 75%? This is all being worked out among the average person. Is it about those who make more supporting those in a society who are not transitioning fast enough or in an appropriate manner? This will be a continued debate. It may also shift and vary, though, according to feelings about a particular individual - whether policy maker or notable. The digital sphere will continue to chop this up. Meanwhile, looks like Depardieu better brush up on his Russian, no?
Gerard Depardieu, a legend of French cinema, is now a Russian citizen. President Vladimir Putin granted him citizenship after promising to do so a few weeks ago. Depardieu had previously tried to obtain Belgium citizenship in order to avoid hefty new taxes in his native France. France's president announced plans to raise the tax on earned income above 1 million euros (about $1.33 million) to 75% from the current high of 41 percent. Depardieu has faces criticism over his seeking a new citizenship but said he did not think he was being unworthy because he has paid 145 million euros in taxes over 45 years." Well, there you have it. But what do fans think?
