Depardieu Tax Dispute Swells

Description:Au revoir, Gerard. We hardly knew you. Gerard Depardieu, the French actor known most famously for his part in "Cyrano de Bergerac" is off to Belgium. And it's not for the weather. He says he's leaving France because the government is punishing success, by over-taxing the rich. President Francois Hollande is planning on introducing a 75% tax on incomes over 1 million euros. Depardieu has written an open letter to French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault. (2:15)
