- The other day, when I was in the bar, I saw a photo on the front page of a newspaper where you saw Notre Dame Cathedral burning. I couldn't contain laughter. Unlike most, I regard the cathedral as a monument dedicated to the crimes of the Catholic Church: organized child abuse, efforts to maintain patriarchal society, social exclusion to minority groups such as the LGTBQ community and the wealth of millions of euros raised mostly at the expense of the poor. Some see it as an architectural treasure, but I prefer to look at the influence that structure has had on the human being and not at the ambitious ambitions that have so rarely been realized.
Tell him what he wants, if the Catholic Church wants to rebuild it, then there is no alternative. It is utterly reprehensible, however, the unexpected multitude of self-evident biennial assumptions, willing to take advantage of the “tragedy” in defence of their interests. Several French billionaires have started to pay more quickly than quickly millions of euros for works and with a similar speed have suggested that their donations represent a tax relief of 90%. “Elsewhere they would congratulate us,” they say, but they actually behave with petty intrigues, earning money and justifying their public image at the expense of others. Business, as usual.
If Mr Pinault’s donation of EUR 200 million were to be taxed at 90%, the French Government would not pay EUR 180 million for taxes. In other words, the French Government would be obliged to give EUR 180 million to the Catholic Church, the institution that does not pay taxes. At the same time, Mr Pinault would appear publicly as a public benefactor.
In today's world, the rich own more goods than ever before; legally or not, they manage not to pay taxes and declare themselves as saviors of the planet for leaving us a few crumbs. One day after the fire, the organizers have managed to raise about EUR 1 billion in mortgage loans. Repair of a roof.
This shows us how easy it would be to solve today's problems if the rich really wanted to. Pinault himself has EUR 26 billion that would be welcome on the street. Of course, it will never distribute them. The truth is that these people can, but they will never give back the money they have raised. If we want that money, we will have to take it off. It does not seem that the government is prepared to do so, but can the yellow jackets be able to do so? In France, they are the only ones dealing with the real tragedies of society and, of course, the lack of a church is not one of those tragedies.
