We have lost too much revenue in recent years

The Prime Minister yesterday confirmed his intention to bring the public deficit below the 3 of GDP in 2013. How to do

This is an absolute necessity if we want to continue to build Europe and walk hand in hand with the Germany. There is a way of crossing to substantially healthier our accounts in a way just, without threatening the growth nor affect competitiveness. For this, in addition to the decrease in spending operating and intervention by 10, it must be realized a revenue of 10 billion effort, to support the budget of the social security, the State budget and pension reform.

Who should wear this effort

Step on the purchasing power of the middle classes! The effort must focus on the more affluent classes. Why When we look at the evolution of income, we observe that the last two percentile grew strongly. The progression of their remuneration is disproportionate and shocking. However, it is shown that this is not the economic dynamism. I think therefore necessary for these excessive amounts a supplementary income tax bracket that is consistent with the average European, or about 46. It must also meet the taxation of capital gains and dividends. The United Kingdom, we see a Conservative Government consider it.

Is the principle of the General plane of 10 on the niche relevant

Yes, provided that its scope is the widest possible. I am very reserved on all this will be an exception.

Even for the employment of workers at home, the tax credit research companies...

We can not afford to exclude from the scope of the plane. If it starts to make an exception for tax benefit, it will open a debate without end on the merits of any particular device, and it will not happen! The crisis is of such magnitude that it calls a deep questioning. We have lost too much revenue in recent years. It must resolve to remove niches and cease to create new ones in the future. I also proposed the lowering of the level of the global ceiling of niche. Plane and CAP, it must do both.

Should companies contribute to the effort

I support since long time an amendment to the method of calculation of the General relief of loads from 1 to 1.6 SMIC, to make it simpler and more accurate, based on annual and not monthly wages. For what benefit on a business paying about 13 or 14 months rather than 12 Fairness and the requirement of streamlining require to move. The economy will be EUR 2 billion to 30 billion, without really affecting employment. Indeed, at the European level, employer contributions represent on average 32 points, against 46 in France, but only 19 at the level of the SMIC and 24 1.1 minimum wage level.

There is the reduction of the deficit, but there is also the financing of the social debt, which explodes. Should we extend the life of the Cades or increase the DRES, which feeds it

I am quite reserved on an increase of the DRES, which might confuse our message to the middle classes. But other revenues could be mobilized. In addition to the savings to the annualization of relief, I favour a rehabilitation of the social package and an extension of its base on all extra-salariales compensation.

At what level should raise the legal age of retirement 63 years

The French accept reform once it is progressive and fair. The idea to 62 years within a decade, at the rate of a quarter in a year, is included in the meetings that we animons in the field. However, the issue of the pace is still in debate.

What about the public-private approximation

In the parliamentary debate, this will be the most difficult point. I understand the prudence of the Government but at the same time, it must not be too timid. A large part of the opinion expected elements of true reconciliation. The majority will be sensitive.

How to finance the reform of the dependency

In view of the decline of inheritance, I support a resumption on succession to the APA, but with a franchise.

Do you agree with François Bayrou when it seeks a referendum on constitutional reform desired by Nicolas Sarkozy on deficit

I agree with François Bayrou willingness to combat deficits and the debt of our country, but the centrist current has never been a great passion for the referendum. And the question is too easy: no one is against the control of the deficits. No need to spend several million euros to this.

Will you vote on the agricultural modernization Act

No, because it is an act of intent which multiplies the regulations. It is better to tackle the French regulatory hell.
