Sarkozy Vows Tax Cut if Chosen President (The Associated Press, 1/22/07)

French Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to reduce France's overall tax take by four percentage points of gross domestic product if elected, in an interview published Monday.

Sarkozy, the candidate of the conservative governing Union for a Popular Movement, or UMP, also criticized the 35-hour week introduced by the last Socialist government in an attempt to create more jobs, in the interview with the Le Monde newspaper.

"France's moral crisis has a name -- it's a work crisis," Sarkozy said.

It's actually a spiritual crisis--it manifests itself in the lack of ethics, not least the work ethic.
