Taxation is the lifeblood of a country, and how to make "taxpayers" pay taxes willingly is also an art!
Before the market was generally **, in 2024, the United States will cut interest rates in March, and after inflation and employment in January, the interest rate cut is expected to be postponed to June.
Frankly speaking, this operation is somewhat unexpected, in just over a month, such a "silky" throw out of three expectations, he really is not worried that the market will misunderstand what he meant, and he is not worried that the US stocks that have reached the historical limit valuation will collapse because of this?
As far as the current situation is concerned, the United States, which has been on leverage for six years, is also "a handful of bitter tears, and I can't say the bitterness", this interest rate hike cycle, except for a Sri Lanka, a close ally of the United States, Europe, one exploded, and one was seriously injured, there is no country that really exploded, standing from the perspective of the empire, which is extremely terrifying.
Because when the above situation occurs, it means that there is a big problem with his tax system.
As I said before, the collapse of the Roman Empire was essentially due to two reasons: one was that with the continuous conquest of land, there was a marginal decline in returns, and the economic model had to change from expansionary to internal.
Second, under the stock of wealth, the test is not only the level of governance, but also how to accurately redistribute wealth, and after the barbarians come in, it will intensify the consumption of the entire country's finances.
Take a look at the old beauty at this stage, it is a coincidence that these two points are accounted for!
After the epidemic, it can be clearly felt that the welfare tendency of Lao Mei is becoming more and more serious, in order to fight, in order to build their own advantages, not only will the welfare as a means, but also put in 12 million special people in three years, if Lao Dengtou continues to be in power, 12 million will become 24 million, or even 50 million, it is only a matter of time!
The funniest thing is that after these people came to Lao Mei, most of them were not for any nonsense old dreams, but purely to enjoy welfare, and Lao Mei did not have so many factories to provide them with employment, that is to say, the biggest meaning of their existence may be to consume Lao Mei's already precarious finances.
In the past, Lao Mei relied on all kinds of blood bags large and small in the world, and ate some benefits internally, which was not a big problem, a few days ago, the gold medal lecturer begged in Lao Mei**, but it made a wave of people envious, but in the final analysis, this envy is just a product of the hegemony of the dollar, just the benefits brought by the dollar tax, the so-called "free" has never been relatively speaking, you think it is free, but there is a group that you don't care about, silently help you bear the cost, when you feel that the welfare of foreign countries is very high, When working in a foreign country is easy, you can think more about where it all came from.
Yesterday, there was a news circulating on the Internet, a group of young people in the old United States, singing the authentic Internationale, raising the sickle flag, and also established a red party, although there are not many responders at the moment, but as long as the governance cost of the United States rises, the benefits given decline, there will be more and more dissatisfied people, the spark can fire the prairie of the old American version, it can be expected, think about 1929, the "bravery" of the old beauty is also well known, the biggest thing in life, is not to eat.
So Lao Mei is very anxious in his heart, he knows very well that Lao Mei is not as harmonious as he imagined, there are huge contradictions between races and classes, at this stage, of course, you can also cover up these contradictions by over-issuing dollars, but the consumption of the old American fortune is also huge, the reason why the dollar tide appears again and again is that the United States wants to take advantage of the convenience of the dollar, and implement financial and physical double harvesting for those countries that are better developed, so as to make them become the national transport gas station of the United States, and by the way, it also cuts off their development trend, let them be "cattle and horses" for generations.
But now with the over-issuance of the dollar, more and more stock of dollars in the hands of various countries, coupled with the interconnection of some countries, a round of interest rate hikes, the return of dollars is indeed a lot, but the United States is a little more than worth the loss, what he needs is never the low-hanging dollar at hand, but the cheap assets that the countries have exploded, if the above cycle has changed, it will make the growth rate of the United States' expenditure greater than the growth rate of income, in the long run, the United States not only has to fall into internal friction because of insufficient resources, The surviving economies from outside will unite to replace the interests of the United States little by little!
In the past 40 years, although all countries have shouted freedom, in essence, it is the history of global hegemony expansion carried out by the United States using the Internet revolution, the Yugoslav War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, the Libyan War, the eastward expansion of NATO, and China's accession to the WTO, all of which are just a microcosm of hegemonic expansion and a means to increase the interests of the United States!
Speaking from the heart, although the means are not very glorious, with the blessing of the Internet, the interests of various countries have increased on the whole, which is also the main reason why countries are willing to be "taxed" by the United States!
And now, as this round of technological revolution comes to an end, with the reduction of global incremental wealth, no matter how the United States hides it, it can't change, and it has changed from a positive creator to an extremely greedy predator!
After the Russian-Ukrainian war, in 2022 alone, exports to the EU market will increase by 70% year-on-year compared with 2021.
In order to keep their wealth and nobility for a long time, they urgently need to use themselves as bait to submit a petition to help Lao Mei define who is the new ** country, so as to carry the banner of morality and lead a group of rabble to attack it!
De-Chinaization, not to mention, reluctant to global interests, and unwilling to see the variable of our country, had to engage in a friendly shore outsourcing, intending to reshape and cut to China's industrial chain through demand!
All of this is nothing more than the hope that through local blasting, global rules will be reformulated to achieve redistribution of global resources, in order to expect the next round of technological revolution to still break out in the United States!
From my personal point of view, with Lao Mei's current conditions, there is a high probability that he is disappointed!
In the past, when I observed the first three industrial revolutions, I vaguely felt that the outbreak of a super-large technological revolution must have three major elements.
1. It is a large industrial country, and if any innovation wants to succeed, the technology is not necessarily the best, but it must meet the needs of most people, have its own application scenarios, and on this basis, carry out in-depth iteration in the way of learning by doing.
2, the extreme geopolitical environment, the outbreak of the steam revolution in the United Kingdom, because the competition in the surrounding countries is too cruel, forcing Britain to have greater motivation to pursue new technology, the United States and Germany broke out the electrical revolution, because the colonies that the world can occupy, have long been the masters, they have to change the track, reverse the disadvantage, the outbreak of the Internet revolution in the United States, is because of Japan and Germany, in the economy and high-end industrial chain, the Soviet Union in the military and politics, forcing the United States almost nowhere to go, under heavy pressure, I had to bet on the Internet alone!
3, ** system, this law, I believe it will overturn many people's inherent impressions, in the past network, everyone has been taught that innovation is only the free market can appear, unfortunately, this is a big lie!
A round of super-large revolution means from 0 to 1, which means that too many resources are needed in the middle, and I don't know when it will succeed and which track can succeed.
Let's take the Internet as an example, his birth did not come from a certain enterprise, but during the Cold War, that is, in the 50s and 70s, in order to confront the Soviet Union, the United States carried out military research and development of products!
Of course, private companies are not useless, but the positioning of the two sides is different, and private companies are more likely to find reasonable application scenarios for these technologies, and mass produce them, and eventually popularize them to everyone.
I remember that last year, Sullivan turned the "Washington Consensus" into the "New Washington Consensus", and also deeply reviewed why the competitiveness of the United States would collapse so quickly in the fields of carbon neutrality, photovoltaics, and trams, and why my country could repeatedly break through the encirclement of the United States!
Therefore, from this point of view, it is difficult for a large model who is proficient in painting and painting to induce a super-large technological revolution in the real sense, and Lao Mei's own environment, objectively, is also difficult to support this phenomenon!
There is no application scenario of dry middle school in the local area, nor is it really forced into a desperate situation, and all resources are not included in the planning with the first-class system, but the welfare has been sent wave after wave, and a lot of national fortune has been consumed out of thin air!
