Essentially, all the money stays in this bucket.

None of it comes to this bucket, so officially I have no income.

Because that's the only way to make it unavoidable.

To manipulate.

Because they can technically reduce their income to zero, but of course they cannot reduce technically their wealth to zero.

Exactly.

You think you will get it in France?

You think you will get the wealth tax too?

Are you familiar much with the conversation in this country about wealth taxes?

Because I'd like to speak about it a little bit.

I think when you say that you see the wealth tax as similar to the income tax, for me that's super interesting.

When I was writing my book, I was reading Hard Times by Charles Dickens.

And they're talking at the time about taxing the factory owners.

And the factory owners say, oh, it's impossible.

If you tax us, we'll throw the factories into the sea.

So I think if you look at history, like it shows, of course, rich people are going to fight against this.

And rich people in this country are fighting against this.

That's good.

I was disgusted.

Do you know what the rest of this politics is?
