Taxes are difficult to get the rich to pay more, but they are also easy.

There have been many periods of financial collapse in Chinese history, the most famous of which are the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

So how did the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty survive?

Those who like history probably know something about Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" and Yongzheng's "Paying Taxes to the Land". These two moves immediately saved the collapsing buildings of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

These two moves are complicated to operate, and historians will tell you a lot of things that make novices confused, but the root of it is actually one thing, which is to shift the focus of taxation from people to industries (land)——

Shift the burden of taxation per head to taxation per land. Once this policy was implemented, the already collapsed financial systems of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were instantly stabilized.

Some people may think that the current "progressive income tax system" seems to be fairer to the poor and helps to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. If the tax is simply collected based on property or means of production, it will not be possible to increase the tax rate for the rich, and the poor will also have to pay taxes.

However, in fact, "progressive income tax" is not very useful in reducing the burden on the bottom workers, because the rich can always "reasonably" avoid income tax in various ways.

For example: if the boss of a company wants to buy a luxury car, according to the government's plan when formulating the tax law, the rich man must first get dividends from the company. There are two tax barriers. The first one is that when the company makes a profit, the company must pay corporate income tax, which is generally 25%. The second one is personal income tax. When the boss gets the company's dividends, he will also bear a 20% tax rate, which is more than 40% tax. If he buys a luxury car worth 50 million, his company must make at least 100 million in profit.

Will the smart boss honestly pass through the two tax gates like this? .

No, he buys a luxury car just to ride in it. As long as he can always ride in it, it doesn’t matter whether the luxury car belongs to him in name or not. So he can buy the luxury car in the name of the company, and then he rides in it every day. Anyway, he is the boss of the company, and he has the final say on who gets to ride the company’s car.

When he did this, he did not get the company’s dividends for the luxury car, so he naturally avoided the second gate called personal income tax.

Not only that, after he did this, the car, which should have been 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 naturally became management expenses deducted from the company’s profits. The company’s nominal profit was less, so even the corporate income tax paid at the first gate was reduced. This is why many bosses buy cars in the name of the company.

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

Suppose there is a capitalist, one of his businesses generates 200,000 yuan in income every month, heOf course, there are other larger incomes, but let's just consider this one.

Because he is a capitalist, if this income is put into his account, he will have to go through the two barriers of corporate income tax and personal income tax, and pay more than 40% tax.

But if he hires a "poor person", reaches an agreement with this "poor person", transfers the 200,000 to that person's account as salary, and then lets the "poor person" buy 140,000 things for the rich to use.

In this way, because the "poor person" does not have a high income, the poor person only needs to pay about 20% income tax.

At this time, the total amount of tax has changed from about 90,000 to 40,000. The rich person could only buy 110,000 things, but in a blink of an eye, it has become 140,000 things, and the "poor person" does nothing and gets 20,000, so why not?

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

Another way to avoid taxes is "funds", which everyone should know, so I won't say more.

In short, the essence of various fancy tax avoidance is the high dependence on personal taxes and private property rights, and the bourgeoisie, as the ruling class, is the best at playing with private property rights.

Let's talk about America again.

Are the main taxpayers of American income tax the capitalists?

Not at all. The main taxpayers of American taxes have always been the "middle class".

(PS: Of course, the concept of "middle class" is just a thing made up to fool people. They are all workers, so where is the industry?! It's just giving you a higher title level than the working class, so that you are willing to pay more taxes.)

For example, Trump's tax bill has always been a secret.

Telling a joke, around 2020, Trump's tax bill showed that the tax he paid to the United States was evaded by him using various reasonable means, and his total tax payment was less than that of his several secretaries and consultants.

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

This is another reason why many American people think he is an "undercover" in China.

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

Let's get back to the point.

Clinton is indeed famous for his high IQ, and he saw through Martin's needs at a glance.

He said to Hillary:

"My dear, I don't think you can expect Martin to fully support you. It's good enough that he can donate some money. After all, what West Africa needs is construction, not financial means that will never produce output."

(PS: The essence of finance is to transfer capital, not to make capital produce more valuable things, that is called industry.)

"And Martin's power on Wall Street is not weak. Don't think of using special means to force him to submit.Although this guy is young, he is definitely not easy to deal with. "

Clinton knows his wife very well. This woman is very strong and good at disguising, but not smart enough. Sometimes she is controlled by "impulsiveness" and needs someone to remind her at all times.

He continued: "Instead of competing with Martin, it is better to maintain a good relationship with Haim Saban. This guy's media resources are what you need."

(PS: Haim Saban, Los Angeles media tycoon, Hillary's most generous supporter, is said to have had very in-depth exchanges with Hillary. The Clintons have always been playing their own games.)

Then he thought for a while and said: "In fact, I think you should also pay attention to the Internet media. Although traditional media occupies the mainstream voice, the rapid spread of the Internet also has its irreplaceable advantages."

Hilary thought for a while and said: "I will be involved in the Internet, but my base is still the mainstream media."

"Okay, it's up to you. "Clinton said nothing more.

Mainly, he changed his mind and thought that his wife's personality had no advantages on the Internet. She couldn't let go too much on the Internet and "act crazy and stupid" like that idiot Trump.

The wife was destined to be defeated by Trump on the Internet.

In this case, it is better to dig deep in the strong side instead of being defeated in the weak area.
