Tax apply to income generating people by design. You pay very little tax in France if you're poor (as a percentage of income). Macron reduced tax on what is comparable: corporate tax, flat tax on certain income such as dividend. Now, did he go overboard? I will let you judge: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corporate-tax-rate with https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/social-security-ra...

France has been very generous during COVID, has been very generous during the Energy Crisis with the `bouclier tarifaire` that has helped most the poorest. We really have to put that in a world context where most does not get anything during time like this. Can we really say that France is boiling alive its people?
