“We are not rich with 3,673 euros a month”: Guillaume Genton shocked at TPMP (VIDEO)

The Observatory for Inequalities, in its latest report published at the end of June, “ threshold of wealth This corresponds to doubling the French median income, according to this organization. By income scale, this wealth threshold corresponds to EUR 3,673 per month after deduction of income tax (taking into account both income and benefits) for a single person, EUR 5,500 per month or EUR 7,700 per month for a couple. For a family with two children under 14 years old.

But for some columnists TPMP, A Frenchman would be far from rich at 3,673 euros a month. This is, for example, the view of producer Guillaume Genton, who is used to making and spending huge sums of money. “I don’t like this number because it aims to make people feel guilty. (…) Even if 93% of the population earns less than that, sorry, you are not rich when you have 3,673 euros a month. Being rich is being rich, putting money aside, having more than one property, being able to go to a restaurant whenever you want, traveling whenever you want (…) We are not poor there by that amount. , but we’re not rich either “, he said. A different view from Gilles Verdez.” Of course we’re rich, twice the minimum wage. Even we are among the wealthier people because that’s a median threshold, below which people with SMIC suffer. SMIC, you are poor, struggling to feed yourself. The problem is food. You can feed yourself with this amount. “.

“The globalization that bothers me depends on where you live, how old you are (…) Earning this money in Paris is not the same as living in Cantal… That’s what bothers me”said Géraldine Maillet. “It’s not about being rich (…) You don’t do much, you have no problem living. You live well but that’s why we can’t talk about sorrel in France”, regretful Benjamin Castaldi. “ I say we are in very, very good shape, the curve is showing, 7.5% of the population, more than twice the minimum wage (…) I can say that it is not the same life. Life is not the same when you go shopping and load your cart without making an account (…) you are part of the 7% elite for me ‘ he got angry with Raymond.

“We are in a country where people are not paid enough or pay too much tax. Why do such numbers appear? To make people feel guilty. (…) We are not rich with that amount. When you live in a big city or in Paris, you may have to pay for rent, cost of living, etc. When you pay a fortune with it, you will have less than 100 Euros a day to live on. “, Guillaume Genton insisted. The words that made Raymond jump.” He doesn’t have to live in Paris, it’s a choice. There are people who work in Paris, but not everyone can live there. You rent it for 2.200/2.300 Euros to sit on 40m² and see the Eiffel Tower, don’t come crying. ‘ he struggled.
