What will happen to France with Gerard Depardieu leaving?

I am asking it in this section, since Gerard himself frequently makes an appearance (or his alter-ego Italian Spiderman).

This dramatic blow to French society, due to a 75% tax rate on earnings over a million Euros, may have equally dramatic results. What do you think those will be?

Will it make the French even more bitter and resentful of others? Will it make them even more arrogant, since they are too "elite" even for their own people? Will the egress of wealthy Frenchmen lead to a collapse of their economy, since they will no longer be able to prop it up by their insane taxes?

Discuss!!!

Update:

Mickey Jack... You do realize that you can send people messages on here instead of trying to "chat" in their questions. Chatting is actually a breach of the rules.

    The departure of Gerard Depardieu from France will cause huge psychological damage to our French chums (Chuckle) He is thought of as Royalty over there, second rate inferior Royalty of course; not like our Queen, God bless you ma'am. Tip top.

    God is coming like a thief! everything human beings prize so highly means nothing to God. I am so glad and blessed not to have allot of riches and I don't think I am lesser of a person or do I think just because a person is rich that he is any better than anyone. as a matter of fact-- " It would be easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." People who are rich think they don't need God because they have earthly wealth.

    They will be rid of a second rate actor with an inflated ego. You realize that is only 75% on income above 800k? I'm sure he would scrape by.
