What work does a CEO do that's worth over 1.4 million dollars a year? How many of the French earning that much do you think would prefer to leave France rather than accept a merely enormous salary in lieu of an astronomical one?

The wager that Hollande is making is that the value of living and doing business in France is worth the cost being assessed (in the form of tax). I don't think it's apparent yet whether or not he's right.
