In the United States, or the more developed Western developed countries. Taxation has grown in a stepped manner. If you look at it in a more intuitive way, it means that the richer the people pay the higher taxes and fees.
High-income people, such as NBA players, Hollywood stars. Many of their income needs to be used to pay various taxes.
Of course, there are various business operations and Wall Street predators that are heavily taxed. The redistribution of society's wealth through the hands of the government, so as to achieve the effect of equal wealth.
This is an ideally great thing. But there is one point that cannot be ignored here is that the United States is actually a country established by merchants and big industrial owners and ranchers.
This is not difficult to see from Lincoln's Civil War. It was said that it was a war of slavery, but it was actually a war between industrialists and farmers.
The factory owner needs more people to enter the city and enter the factory. They need people to work in factories and then pay them wages so that they are both workers and consumers.
But the farmers are not. They need to trap more slaves on the land and exploit their value.
From an economic perspective, the essence of the Civil War is the challenge posed by traditional agricultural forces in the new industrial age. Liberate slaves? That's just by the way, not so tall.
From the War of Independence, to the Civil War, to two World Wars. It has always been the major consortiums that have influenced the country's will, and in short, various capitalists.
And you want to tax heavy capitalists? Ha ha.
Of course, the law of the lawyer, even the capitalists and consortia in Niu, must abide by the authority of the US Constitution. Because the rules of the game itself are given by the largest group of capitalists.
Of course, they will not be stupid not to leave a path for themselves. Who is willing to hand over the hard earned gold and silver to the country so simply every year?
So apart from the simplest immigration to tax-free countries, such as Monaco.
Another way is charity. Because charitable donations can reduce or exempt many taxes. For example, a financial predator and a charity fund of an electronic giant.
I made a jacket with a charity fund and transferred my worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, and then I did n’t have to pay any taxes. Anyway, the foundation stipulates that it must be managed by someone from this family. Naturally, what they say is what they say.
But in this way, not only do you not have to pay taxes, but you can also maintain the luxury life of the world's richest people. And you can earn a good reputation for yourself.
Therefore, there are many big entrepreneurs and big capitalists in the United States keen on "charity". Of course, there are true and false.
But in any case, various charities under the umbrella of major corporations are everywhere in the United States.
For example, Osborne ’s disabled veterans ’hospitals and nursing homes. In addition to helping to cut taxes, the military can also have a good relationship.
For example, the Almond Hospital where Thor works, whether you like it or not. But in the end, medical measures in private hospitals are a business. Goods bought with money are health and life.
Since it is a business that needs to pay taxes, businessmen do not want to pay all the taxes, then they must find ways to avoid taxes reasonably.
For example, the establishment of Southern Cross Welfare Home. It mainly accepts orphans under the age of 14. This includes children whose parents have died due to illness, or the guardian accidentally died or went to jail and lost their ability to live independently.
Although the United States is strong, its economic aggregate ranks first in the world. But as a big country with a population of more than 300 million, it also bears the highest military expenditure in the world. In fact, the United States is not able to invest in population welfare funds.
Judging from the average, it can only be ranked more than fifty in the world. The countries with the best welfare are always the sparsely populated but economically developed Nordic countries. Such as Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other countries.
So the US government very much welcomes the influx of private capital into public welfare programs. In fact, the country's public medical and welfare resources are already stretched. Because the war consumes too much money.
The establishment of the Southern Cross Welfare Institute gave the New York City government a green light all the way. Not only is the land approval very fast, but it also provides preferential treatment for the Almond Hospital tax.
The mayor at the time had only one requirement, which was to ensure that the Southern Cross Welfare Home had to accept at least 700 orphans.
Thor's order was abrupt, and Kristin didn't even know it. Thor followed the members of the personnel department to the Southern Cross Welfare House in the southern suburbs of New York.
From the appearance, this is a very beautiful welfare home. It seems that the hospital spent a lot of money. The main building is 15 stories high, and it also has a playground and yard of more than 2,000 square meters. And a three-storey annex building.
The main building is a place for children to rest, and the auxiliary building is the staff's dormitory and where to stay on duty.
All children are generally good by age. A group of six to eight years old. A group of eight to ten years old. And so on.
Now the NJStar Welfare Institute has exceeded the original design, accepting more than 700 orphans or children who have temporarily lost their guardians, which is close to 1,100.
This puts a strain on the hospital staff. please! The purpose of opening this welfare home at the beginning was to reduce taxes, although from a human and moral point of view. The shareholders of the hospital did not mind helping some children.
But the orphanage is a place where there is only input and no output. If too much money is invested, and it exceeds the range that shareholders can bear, it will be very troublesome.
So the carers in the orphanages are actually understaffed. In most cases, two carers have to manage 50 children.
Younger children will have more carers. Because older children have self-discipline, there is often only one carer responsible. And most of those children are of uniform age, or about the same age.
But Thor's team is special. The fifty children he manages are not in the age range from six to fourteen, and there are many more carers than others. There are four of them, plus five with Thor.
"Why?" Thor asked in a puzzled manner as the deputy director of the Welfare Institute who led the way and introduced the situation.
She is an elderly lady who looks like an old-school lady.
The deputy director said in a hurry: "Because these children are special. Compared with the children who generally lose their guardians, they have guardians."
"?" Thor looked at the deputy dean a little puzzled. He was no longer a little white who knew nothing about the earth. Why do children with guardians come to the welfare home?
The deputy chief went on to say: "Because most of their parents are vicious criminals. This includes murders, underground social organizations, and the manufacture of chemicals to illusions."
"The police will naturally arrest these people after they solve the case. And the sentences are very heavy, ranging from the death penalty to fifteen years of imprisonment." The deputy dean helped his gold-rimmed glasses ~ www.novelhall.com ~ although some The children have relatives, but because their parents are criminals. Many people simply don't want to be related to them. They have nowhere to go. If they go to the streets, they will most likely go on the same path as their parents. "The deputy dean took Thor to the elevator to the southwest corner of the tenth floor, and a place saying Zone 2A stopped."
"So in order to help the police, we agreed to take in these children. But what I have to say is that not all children are getting along well. Especially these children, what they learned from childhood makes them incompatible with other children."
"It's not even the first time that conflicts will break out. The children in District 2A have injured other children. So we can only bring them together and manage them together." The deputy director pointed to a door on the front left.
"Tor, that's where you work in the future. Take care of these children. At least you should be able to do well." After the deputy dean pinched Thor's strong arm, he turned and left. It doesn't seem to be going in.
Thor actually received this notice early in the morning and is dizzy now. He is doing well in the ambulance. And the partner with Christine is getting better and better.
As a result, inexplicably, he became the leader of a team of caregivers, managing four caregivers and fifty bear children.
And these bear children are also criminal children. Although the deputy dean is very obscure, she seems to say that these children may have a criminal tendency?
It can be seen from their separation into a single area.
When Thor broke his head and opened the blue door to work in his new work area, a red bucket filled with ice cubes and ice water fell from the sky, and the ice cubes were mixed with ice water close to zero. Thor poured it diligently.
