Philippe Brun, candidate in the socialist primaries, understood that the gap between gross salary and net salary, devoured by taxes, fees, and contributions of all kinds, annihilated the acceptance of the French social model.

Another good idea - and obvious but taboo - is the forgiveness of the public debt of states accumulated by the ECB. It is made by Melenchon, a bad spokesperson for a necessary proposal.
