France is doing pretty well as far as Europe goes post-2007. They're recovering faster than the UK, for example.

They're recovering faster than the UK, for example.

By what metric(s)? If you're talking about GDP, Britain is now managing significantly better growth than France and expert predictions seem universally agreed that it will continue to do so next year.

As point of curiosity, though not necessarily claiming any causal relationship, the top personal tax rate here in England came down from 50% to 45% earlier this year, after the new 50% rate introduced just before the end of the previous government turned out not to raise as much extra money as predicted. Meanwhile, French GDP growth has stagnated or reversed since mid-2011.

Lol, you don't live nearby i suppose? :)
