At home, Hollande has pledged to tax the very rich at 75 percent of their income, an idea that proved wildly popular among the majority of people who don't make nearly that much. But the measure would only bring in a relatively small amount to the budget.
Hollande wants to modify one of Sarkozy's key reforms, over the retirement age, to allow some people to retire at 60 instead of 62. He also plans to increase spending in a range of sectors and wants to ease France off its dependence on nuclear energy. He also favours legalizing euthanasia and gay marriage

Apparently France still has a lot of morons. Things don't change much. Not that the alternative was any better.
Cutting nuclear power? Why exactly? Because the ignorant 18-25 crowd doesn't like it? Are you kidding me?
Also nice to see the baby boomer generation fking up that country too with the pledge to lower the retirement age again.
