He's also suggested that he intends to abolish the Impôt de Solidarité sur la Fortune (ISF); as I understand it, the ISF is a direct wealth tax on people who hold more than €800K in assets. The idea being to stop the rich leaving the system altogether.
A whole raft of taxation policies and removing the loopholes which exist, are supposed to colletively bring in €29b, which would be more than the money he intends to spend.
I see Hollande as moving France back towards a Chirac style presidency, and you need to remember that Chirac from 2002 was able to achieve net government surpluses and France established a net positive Balance of Payments.
For a "socialist" President, it's odd that Le Figaro maintained a neutral stance about him.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Looks to me the french had the classical political choice between the dumb and the dumber... The tricky part is figuring which is which. I hope for the sake of Europe and France most of the things he promised are just the typical socialist bull$h1t that we'll soon be forgotten when facing the reality.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
