The proposals impact of the president candidate
"The response to the crisis is to make work pay". It is based on the assumption that Nicolas Sarkozy made Wednesday night on France 2, several proposals that undoubtedly feed the debate of the campaign in the coming days.
• Low income: Net increase wages
Nicolas Sarkozy wants to increase by almost 1,000 euros per year net salary paid individuals between 1 and 1.2 SMIC (1100 to 1300 Euros net per month currently). This amounts to very nearly, in their 13th month pay. To do so without increasing the cost of labor or dig public deficits, he proposes easing the employee social security contributions, amounting to 4 billion euros. In return, the earned income tax will be abolished (2.5 billion savings) and taxation on financial income in line with that of labor (1.5 billion in additional revenue).
Nicolas Sarkozy promises a gain in purchasing power visible "on the payroll" of "7 million employees," while widening the gap between earned income and "welfare". It also presents the device as the counterpart of the social VAT – setting up, it, to reduce employer costs. The outgoing president also prefers to call this the ultimate measure of his five years' VAT antidélocalisation ". It reiterated its belief that it will help to prevent France from emptying "of the blood industry" – a phrase borrowed from amazingly … Jean-Luc Melenchon.
The employment bonus (PPE), founded in 2001 by Lionel Jospin, was to encourage the unemployed back to work, even poorly paid. Heavily criticized for its cost, late payment (one to two years after returning to work) so little incentive, and sprinkling (6 payday loans no teletrack.7 million profit in 2011), the head of state had promised in 2007 remove PPE. But he encountered, elected to the reluctance of some of its majority.
• RSA: a "community service" mandatory
Each recipient of RSA will perform "Seven hours of community service paid minimum wage." That is to generalize an experiment launched in November in 11 departments, he already sees as a "success". Nicolas Sarkozy believes that the RSA is "effective in the fight against poverty" but "not sufficient to re-enter the labor market" its beneficiaries.
• Major employers: to end the "anything" Compensation
Nicolas Sarkozy makes it clear not want to go after "the majority of business leaders" but to "the tiny minority that shocked the French in doing anything." For them, it shows radical ban "final" pension hats, including taxation has increased significantly during the five year term, and golden parachutes. "But that's not enough," he adds. The remuneration committees that set the incomes of top managers, will have to rely "systematically an employee representative." Their proposals will be validated "by the general meeting of shareholders", and not by the board, and published "in legal documents."
