Since the end of April, the whole world has been discussing whether to tax the rich in COVID-19.
Argentina was the first one to operate on the rich.
This kind of rich tax is a one-time wealth tax of not less than 2% for individuals (and families) whose assets exceed 200 million pesos (equivalent to 2.4 million US dollars). There are about 6.5438+0.2 million rich people in Argentina who meet the tax conditions.
Subsequently, Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, etc. are all discussing increasing taxes on the rich.
In the next five years, the world will enter the era of "tax increase for the rich"?
Because during the epidemic last year, the world accumulated a lot of debts under the big water.
Under the background that the dividend of the global scientific and technological revolution is getting thinner and thinner, but the financial expenditure of various countries has soared, the real economy has been in a long-term downturn.
In the past 10 years, the world has carried out an unprecedented economic stimulus plan, mainly in terms of monetary easing and finance, mainly through direct payment and tax reduction.
I spent more money last year.
The fiscal deficit is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost impossible to plug the fiscal hole by borrowing money.
It can be seen that in the future, the world will collectively enter the era of long-term large-scale tax increase.
After all, borrowing money and borrowing money can only make everyone happy for a while. Now it's time to pay the bill.

This global tax increase is led by the United States.
Last month, the Group of Seven led by the United States held a meeting.
The lowest corporate tax rate has basically formed a * * * understanding:
Tax increase, minimum 15%.
Multinational companies have to pay taxes not only at their headquarters, but also in the countries where they do business.
This means that the global tax reduction tide has basically come to an end.
Why does the United States pull everyone together?
Because the accession of a single country is equivalent to driving out its own rich people, and even exacerbating the hollowing out of its own country's industry.
Add them together and you won't suffer.
* * * It is customary to spend money with the Party and make money with the Democratic Party.
This is the slogan that Lao Bai shouted when he came to power.
After he came to power, the most important economic policy was to liquidate and understand the king:
The rich increase taxes and the poor increase welfare, thus easing the "populism" in the United States.
Lao Bai, who comes from a worker's family, said: The most ambitious plan in American history will be launched to return jobs to the American middle class and workers.
His plan is $65,438 +0.9 trillion infrastructure plan.
But the people are most concerned about: who will pay for the construction?
Borrow money? If we borrow more money, the government will stop.
So Laobai said: Rich people pay!
Biden's tax increase plan is:
This raises taxes for the rich, so why did the consortium choose Biden?
Because there is no choice.
Look at the wealth tax proposed by Sanders during the campaign:
Compared with Sanders' version, Biden's version is more moderate.

What is the underlying logic of tax increase?
Concentrate resources.
In the past, peasant uprisings and revolutions occurred because of the concentration of land.
This will break the concentration of land and redistribute land and means of production.
The United States has reached the end of resource redistribution.
At present, the richest 1% families in the United States control 40% of the country's wealth, and 80% of the middle and lower classes only own 15% of the total social wealth.
The widening gap between the rich and the poor will only intensify social contradictions.
If you don't want revolution, America must raise taxes.
This is the fundamental reason why the rich Americans compromise.
But when you understand the policy, you will come up with countermeasures.
The poor are still involved and the rich are still evading taxes.
When I heard about the tax increase, DS came to a climax!
If the tax is increased, the wool is not on the sheep?
Don't forget, the rich are either wolves or shepherds.
The wealth owned by the richest 26 people in the world is the sum of the property owned by the bottom 3.8 billion people.
70% of the world's population has to accept unfair income and wages.
In order to hide their money, tax avoidance dramas of super-rich people are being staged all over the world.
Gates divorced, Bezos divorced, and the rich suddenly divorced?
Bezos, Musk, Soros, in some years, the federal personal income tax of these super-rich people who control 80% of the wealth in the United States is actually zero.
From 20 14 to 20 18, the total wealth of the richest 25 Americans increased by 410 billion dollars, but the total amount of taxes paid was13.6 billion dollars.
The average "personal income tax rate" of these rich people is only 3.4%, of which Buffett is as low as 0. 1% and Bezos is even less than 1%.
The income tax rate of an American middle class earning $70,000 a year is as high as 14%.
Working hard for a year, earning less money per second than a capitalist, but bearing a tax rate ten times higher than that of the rich?
After all, few people are willing to give their hard-earned wealth to the country for nothing.
The richer people are, the higher their desire and ability to avoid taxes.
Tax increase?
The wealth growth of the rich comes more from the rise of assets such as stocks and real estate.
These assets do not need to pay taxes or even avoid taxes before they are sold and realized.
Protect the elite, slaughter the middle class and draw cakes for the poor.
This big probability is what Lao Bai really wants to do.
When the tide of tax increase comes, it will be more difficult for the middle class to turn over;
It is easier to return to poverty.
The middle class without core assets as a hedge may directly return to poverty.
The rich are not afraid of taxes, revolution, production, and the king's failure to accept food.
The majority of working-class people live on a fixed salary, but the money has not been obtained and the tax has been deducted.
We can only laugh at ourselves by "social animals" and aim at "lying flat", but we have to continue to "roll in" for our livelihood.

Will the United States follow suit when it raises taxes?
It seems to follow, but it seems not to follow.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the most important thing is "tax reform":
In April, Wang, director of the State Administration of Taxation, said:
Incorporate land finance into tax revenue and reverse the extensive mode of real estate driving economy.
Forcing local governments to engage in industry and innovation.
The whole world is increasing taxes, but Hainan is reducing taxes.
Especially for high-end talents and talents in short supply, the personal income tax is the highest 15%, while the current income tax in the mainland is 45%.
You know that.
China and the United States are now robbing each other of global stocks and talent savings.
When the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, the term middle class appeared in the United States.
As soon as the Soviet Union disintegrated, the American middle class began to decline endlessly.
Now, the script repeats itself?
Under the background of robbing the rich to help the poor, do you think there will be a large amount of hot money pouring into China?
Where are our opportunities?
