France’s recent elections have been good news for their left leaning groups. Their new left-wing coalition is proposing a 90% tax on those making over the equivalent of $433,000, raising minimum wage, lowering the retirement age, and other popular progressive ideas. If one does the numbers, if such a tax were implemented, a person could potentially make more money a year by not going above that threshold amount. That rate existed in the U.S. before the 1980s, Ronald Reagan fought against that rate.<\/p>\n

According to GB News, the New Popular Front movement, which was formed just a month ago, managed to secure a major victory in the second round of voting. The New Popular Front secured 183 seats, which prevented Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party from winning the election as many had anticipated.<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron’s Together coalition finished second, while Le Pen’s National Rally finished third in the election.<\/p>\n

Sky News reported that France’s New Popular Front is pushing for a prime minister to be chosen who will promote the movement’s left-wing ideas, including a 90% tax on the rich. However, while the coalition won the most seats in the recent election, it failed to reach the 289 seats needed for a majority in France’s National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the French government as the major coalitions struggle for power, Sky News reported that the New Popular Front has remained insistent that its left-wing ideas will be implemented in the new government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
