PARIS (Reuters) - France's budget rapporteur on Thursday asked the government to spell out how much the rich stood to gain if a wealth tax was scrapped, as unease over President Emmanuel Macron's plan within his own party bubbles up.

Macron made good in early October on a campaign pledge to abolish the tax, earning him a "president of the rich" tag among critics.
