True. If you had 2 million dollars of salary a year, would you still expect better social assistance programs? Would you hand in about 1 million to the government per year and expect two social assistance checks of 1,400 each month from the government? (Actually, with this income, you'd never get government assistance. You'd pay the government only, except basic medicare.) Or would you keep the money in your own pocket?
OR, if your salary was $80,000, would you pay $20,000 more in tax and then beg for government money/social assistance later on, or would you keep this $20,000 in your own account and do whatever you want?
多少年前和你有类似的想法, 如果你对北欧国家有深入的了解你就可能会改变你的想法了。关于减税还是加税, 说到底就是社会财富的分配问题。特别是社会财富增值部分的再分配问题。增加积累,增加福利还是减少积累,减少福利, 谁得好处,谁收宜少不是明显的吗?
当然加拿大有一个严重的问题, 就是社会的积累怎么使用问题, 这正是值得大家关注的问题, 加拿大现在的政党可以说没有一个在这方面做的好的, 他们也不希望在这方面做好, 正如我在上文中说到的, 如果做好了, 他们的利益就受到伤害了, 所以大家更应该关注这个问题。
