| French film star Gerard Depardieu has moved into his new ´tax exile´ mansion in Belgium - just 800 yards from the border with France. The 64-year-old actor´s lavish home in the village of Nechin - on a street known as Millionaire´s Row - is less than two minutes drive from the French town of Roubaix. Depardieu is the latest wealthy Frenchman fleeing a looming new tax of 75 per cent on all earnings over one million euros - about £850,000.

Comments:
So next year, Hollande will be collecting EU0.00 from Depardieu.

Poliicians steal from the few to buy votes from the moocher classes. All you need is half of the people to mooch, and to hell with the rest. It is getting harder than ever to respect these tax thieves. Harder to care if they are safe.

How about that? With the stroke of a pen, M. Hollande turned M. Depardieu into M. Depart-o.
Gerard? Bonne chance mon ami.

Uhhh, Bernard likes waffles more than truffles? What?
[I sure enjoyed M. Depardieu in "GreenCard" and "My Father the Hero," which I watched many times with my daughter.]

Where is the tax haven where we Americans can move to avoid Obama´s oppressive taxes?
(Hint ... answer is nowhere. The USA taxes its citizens whereever in the world they live.)

Another flaming liberal dodging the very system they vote & campaign for. Wonder what tiny corner of the world our Hollywood liberals will move to when they get the socialism they have championed here? I´m sure the Swiss bank accounts are multiplying as I type -- ahead of Obama´s new tax code that starts Jan 1st.

P.S. re #4 -- you must watch him in Manon of the Spring where he plays a misfit hunchback trying to make a go of a rabbit farm on the French countryside with his beautiful bride & only daughter. Yves Montand also starred in a rare cameo part. It has a sequel that I can´t remember the title of (something something "Floret") or maybe the "Spring" film is the sequel. Both films are wonderful. They both illustrate the snobbishness of the French (& it´s a French film!).

#1, who the heck are the Turnpike Troubadours and why should anyone care? Ok, you like their music--good for you....but what does that have to do with that commie Hollande and Depardieu moving to avoid the taxes?????
You see why these totalitarian tyrant UN/CFR/TLC types are pushing so hard for a one-world governance....they want to stop the other millionaires (that are not part of their elite group, their friends or family) from fleeing. They want control over everyone´s life and make us all slaves to the special, chosen elite in permanent power. It is worse than the old feudalism...it is evil and has more in common with Stalin and Hitler, than the Kings and Queens of olden days...

Hasn´t the same thing happened here from people moving from Mass. to New Hampshire? Has that stopped Mass. from raising taxes.
People have to understand that raising taxes is baked into a liberal´s brain no matter how obvious the reverse consequences are. If they went for lower taxes,they would be admitting that republican ideas work and that will never happen. Just look at how mad the Slimes is at Texas for giving businesses incentives to move there. They want people stuck in failure.

Here´s what I think about the Hollywood & Sports celebrities who push socialism on us while dodging paying their fair share. Most are:
1) spoiled by their parents because they were the oh-so-talented "star" of their family
2) further spoiled by Hollywood/Media/their Handlers
3) flunked or skipped their Gov & Poli-Sci classes while getting their "educations"
4) feel enormous guilt that they get to play for a living while making tens of millions annually
5) are too selfish & undisciplined to part with it themselves
6) turn to government to force them to do it, while loathing "big business" to feel better about themselves.

KEENE - The city has filed a lawsuit against six citizens, part of a group dubbed Robin Hood of Keene that patrols downtown armed with video cameras and pockets full of change to fill expired parking meters. Also known as Robin Hooders, the six are associated with the Free Keene group. "They say video recording or talking to them is harassing them, but I don´t agree with that," "Robin Hooder" James Cleaveland said of parking enforcement officers. "So they want to establish a safety zone of fifty feet." Members of the group place cards under windshield wipers

An authoritative new poll of more than 15,000 cops released on the eve of this week´s Senate anti-gun debate shows that a sweeping majority of officers don´t believe gun control will work or keep them safer, and nearly nine in 10 believe having more armed citizens would curb gun violence. According to the lengthy survey of law enforcement professionals, one of the largest ever of street cops, 85 percent believe that President Obama´s gun control plan to ban assault weapons, limit the size of ammo magazines and expand background checks won´t improve their safety

The deputy Prime Minister said it risked "undermining public confidence" to let illegal immigrants stay if they have been in the country for more than 10 years. In his first major speech on immigration, he abandoned the controversial proposal, which was championed by the Liberal Democrats at the last election. Mr Clegg previously supported the idea of "earned citizenship" for illegal immigrants.

NEW YORK - A long-forgotten piece of America´s military history is going up for sale. The original smaller statue of the iconic raising of the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima in 1945 is expected to fetch up to $1.8 million later this month at a New York auction dedicated to World War II artifacts. That such a statue even exists is news to all but the most ardent history buffs. Most Americans are familiar with the 32-foot-tall Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Va. (snip) Less well-known is the 12 1/2-foot-tall statue created soon after the event.

Boston Scientific is cutting up to 1,000 more jobs as it deals with a new medical device tax from the U.S. health care overhaul, limited growth prospects in certain markets and pressure to cut prices on its products in other countries. Still, the Natick, Mass., company´s shares jumped Tuesday after the maker of pacemakers and heart stents reported fourth-quarter results and a 2013 profit forecast that exceeded Wall Street expectations. In a push to trim costs, Boston Scientific Corp. plans to cut 900 to 1,000 jobs this year, which will include layoffs as well as the elimination

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
