The problem is if they take the young gifted entrepreneurs with them. I heard anecdotally that they were already leaving e.g. for London and that was before this latest tax increase.

I truly hope that this is going to be the result of the French "situation". It would be once and for all great to have some more substantial evidence on how growth, innovation and consumption dramatically goes down, when governments go on a tax-the-wealthy witch hunt .
Bernard Arnault should be hailed as an example, not a traitor, for leaving France and getting a Belgian citizenship.
Postulating a Unified Europe by pushing the ongoing de-nationalization of the EU member countries is absolutely antithetic to the expectation that tax payers should feel obliged to pay taxes to their home country, and not switch to the one most beneficiary for them.

Which is precisely why de-nationalizing Europe is such a bad idea.
