    Their heart is in the right place but too many people will be opposed.

      Oh boy.. another "tax" that the money will all get sucked up and rerouted to beaurocricies and none go to what its intended for. My own state can't resist wasting money and asking for more.. and I think some multinational thing would be better? hahahahaha

      I say f-u to that!

        interesting. I hate being taxed just as much as the next man (only more) but I can see the justifications behind this.

        a) it won't happen, because, as Zokes said, too many people will be opposed, and
        b) who decides which countries/states are wealthy enough to pay the tax?

        The moral objective is good, the practicality is otherwise... unfortunately!

        Well spotted, Doc!
        Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!

          This is worse than a sad joke.

          Chirac is a thief and a liar. He is hated by his own country people for all his curroption. Besides, should I remind all Americans here how much money the U.S government donates every year to many countries all around the world ?

          Maybe Mr.Chirac should make a new Euro tax and let the world be.

                It is not the EU that came up with this silly idea, it was Monsieur Chirac and as Agent31 already said, it won't happen because nobody will agree to introduce such a tax. I suppose even in France there won't be a majority for it. So there is no need to trample over the Doc's dead body

                    Why do French politicians bother opening their mouths? Everything they say makes them look like utter fools...

                        Agreed!!!

                        I don't think they've contributed anything to intellectual discourse since Descartes Meditations on First Philosophy, although some would omit "contributed" and replace it with "infected"

                          Maybe but will fall apart in the future just like Wales and Scotland are now breaking away from England.
