When it comes to taxes, getting the rich to pay more is actually difficult and easy.

There were many periods of financial collapse in Chinese history, the most famous of which were the Ming and Qing dynasties.

So how did the Ming and Qing Dynasties survive?

I guess people who like history know something about Zhang Juzheng’s whipping method and Yongzheng’s method of spreading people into acres. These two tricks immediately saved the building that the Ming and Qing Dynasties were about to collapse.

These two methods are complex operations, and historians will tell you a lot of things that will make novices confused, but the root of them is actually one thing, which is to shift the focus of taxation from people to industries (land ) –

Shifting the burden of taxing based on head to taxing based on land. Once this policy was implemented, the collapsed financial system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was instantly stabilized.

Some people may think that the current”progressive income tax system” seems to be fairer to the poor and helps reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. If taxes are purely based on property or means of production, wouldn’t it be impossible to be progressive towards the rich? Don’t the poor also have to pay taxes?

However, in fact,”progressive income tax” does not do much to reduce the burden of workers at the bottom, because the rich can always avoid income tax in a”reasonable” way.

For example: If the boss of a company wants to buy a luxury car, according to the government’s plan when formulating tax laws, the rich man must first receive stock dividends from the company.

There are two tax rates.

First, First, when the company makes a profit, the company must pay corporate income tax, which is generally 25%.

Second, it is personal income tax.

When the boss receives dividends from the company, he will also bear a 20% tax rate.

This Calculated, the tax is more than 40%.

If he buys a luxury car worth 50 million, his company will have to make a profit of at least 100 million.

And will the smart boss pass the two tax customs in such an honest way? No , he buys a luxury car just to ride in a luxury car. As long as he can always ride in a luxury car, it doesn’t matter whether the luxury car nominally belongs to him, so he can buy the luxury car in the name of his company. Then he rides in this luxury car every day. After all, he is the boss of the company, and it is not him who has the final say who rides in the company’s car.

When he did this, he did not receive dividends from the company for the luxury car, so he naturally avoided the second hurdle called personal income tax.

Not only that, after he did this, the car that was supposed to be a consumer product turned into a means of production and was included in the company’s fixed assets. After that, the cost of maintaining the car became management expenses and was deducted from the company’s profits. , the company’s nominal profits are still less, so even the first corporate income tax has been reduced. This is why many bosses buy cars in the name of the company.

Even if rich people want to buy general consumer goods, and these consumer goods cannot be listed as assets in the company’s accounts, income tax can also be exploited.

Suppose there is a capitalist who generates an income of 200,000 per month from one of his businesses. Of course he has other larger incomes, but he might as well only consider this one.

Because he is a capitalist himself, if this income enters his account, he will continuously pass through both corporate income tax and personal income tax, and pay more than 40% of the tax.

But if he hires a”poor person” and reaches an agreement with the”poor person” to transfer the 200,000 to that person’s account as salary, and then let the”poor person” buy 140,000 things for the rich person to use.

In this way, because the”poor” income is not high, the poor only need to pay about 20% income tax.

At this time, the total tax amount changed from about 90,000 to 40,000. The rich could only buy things for 110,000, but in the blink of an eye, they became 140,000, while the”poor” did nothing and took 20,000. And why not?

This”poor person” does not refer to a certain person or a few people, but to various small companies or intermediary companies that are secretly controlled by wealthy people. There are countless such companies in the United States.

Another way to avoid taxes is”funds”. Everyone should know this, so I won’t go into details.

All in all, the essence of all kinds of fancy tax avoidance is the high dependence on personal taxation and private property rights, and the bourgeoisie, as the ruling class, is the best at playing with private property rights.

Let’s go back to the United States.

Are capitalists the main recipients of income taxes in the United States?

Not at all. The main taxpayers in the United States have always been the”middle class.”

(PS: Of course, the concept of”middle class” is just a thing made up to deceive people. They are also working people, so where is the industry?! It just gives you a higher title than the working class, so that you are more willing to do so. Just pay some taxes.)

Trumpner’s tax bill, for example, has always been a secret.

To tell a joke, around 2020, Trump’s tax returns revealed that the taxes he paid to the United States were avoided by him using various reasonable means, and his total tax payments were less than those of several of his secretaries and advisers.

The funniest thing is that because the capital Trump participated in made huge investment returns in China, he paid more taxes to China than to the United States.

This is another reason why many beautiful people think that he is China’s”undercover”.

From this point, we can also see how outrageous the tax policy of the United States is. It is too easy for the rich to avoid taxes.

Back to business.

Clinton was known for his high IQ, and he could see through Martin’s needs at a glance.

He said to Hillary:

“Dear, I don’t think you need to think that Martin will fully support you. It would be good if he can donate some money. After all, West Africa needs construction, not financial means that will never produce results.”

(PS: The essence of finance is to move capital, not to allow capital to produce something more valuable. That is called industry.)

“Moreover, Martin’s power on Wall Street is not weak. Don’t think about using special means to force him to submit. Although this kid is young, he is by no means easy to deal with.”

Carrington knows his wife very well. This woman is very strong and good at pretending, but she is not smart enough. Sometimes she is controlled by”impulse” and needs someone to remind her at all times.

He continued:”Instead of talking to Martin Instead of competing, it’s better to maintain your relationship with Haim Saban. This guy’s media resources are all you need.”

(PS: Haim Saban, the Los Angeles media tycoon, Hillary’s most generous supporter, is said to have had very in-depth communications with Hillary. The Clintons have always been doing their own thing.)

Then he thought After thinking for a while, he said:”Actually, I think you should also pay attention to online media. Although traditional media occupies the mainstream voice, the rapid spread of the Internet also has its irreplaceable advantages. Hillary thought for a while and said:”I will be involved in the Internet, but my base is still the mainstream media.””

“Well, whatever.”Carrington didn’t say anything else.

Mainly because he thought about it. His wife’s personality on the Internet has no advantages. She can’t be too liberal on the Internet and”pretend to be crazy” like that idiot Trump.

His wife is on the Internet We are destined to be unable to defeat Trump on the battlefield.

In this case, instead of being defeated in the weak area, it is better to work hard on the strong area.
