Chapter 344: The broken American dream

Views:

In fact, the United States has never been a good place to immigrate, especially for Chinese people. Although a lot of cents have been promoted in the country, whether this is good or that is good in the United States, in fact, people living here know .

If you are a rich person, then this is paradise. No matter which city or where you are, this is paradise.

But if you don't have money, it's hell, a hell that pushes you into the abyss.

Apart from anything else, everything in the United States is subject to tax. There are more than 300 million people in the United States, and the average savings of most households is only about one thousand U.S. dollars. In China, the average household savings of urban residents is almost ten U.S. dollars. Ten thousand.

Of course, you may say this is nonsense, but consider how much the house you live in now costs!

These real estate properties are also included in the assets, so it is not excessive to say that each family has one hundred thousand.

Most Americans rent their houses because the taxes on buying a house are too much.

Everything in the United States is taxed. Some people say that the medical care, medical insurance, and social security here in the United States are good.

But the premise is that you have to pay that level of tax, such as the minimum medical insurance implemented in China, which I’m sorry I don’t have here.

How much tax do you pay, how much medical insurance do you enjoy? If there were no taxes, you wouldn't be able to buy cold medicine here, because cold medicine is also a prescription medicine. If you go to the hospital to see a doctor, a cold will cost you a thousand dollars, even if it is a local The doctor relented.

The most important thing is that if you want to bring cold medicine out of the country, sorry, this is not allowed.

After going to the hospital, it was nothing more than taking vitamins every day at home, using the white blood cells in the body to kill the virus.

But this is also the reason why Americans look so strong. At least they don't lack these things.

As for the domestic personal income tax, the highest is 20%, and the lowest is no tax. Those with incomes below 800 will not be taxed, and if they are over 800, if they are state-owned enterprises, they will only be charged a symbolic amount, a few yuan. Even dozens.

Except for the Internet writers who earn more than 10,000 yuan, other people with normal units do not charge much.

In addition, bonuses, year-end bonuses, etc. are not taxable, and they do not exist here in the United States.

Here in the United States, you must pay state tax. If your total annual income exceeds $100,000, whether it is your salary or your bonus, as long as it is money you earn, you will be charged 35%, and state tax is additional. Calculate.

Remember, you must pay the 35%, or even more than 40%, or 50% tax. It does not include any benefits. You need to pay the residence tax on the house alone. Yes, you have to pay taxes every year for the eight years after you buy the car. This also has to be paid separately. Medical insurance and social security payments naturally also have to be paid separately.

For example, if a person earns 100,000 U.S. dollars a year and lives in New York City, more than 60% of it must be handed over to the U.S. government, unless he wants to go to jail and evade taxes in the United States, but the biggest, biggest, biggest A felony that is even more serious than murder.

There is no such thing as tax exemption in the United States. The most vicious unit in the United States is not the FBI or the CIA, but the IRS, the full name of the Internal Revenue Service, which is affiliated with the Department of the Treasury. There was news a long time ago.

It is said that there was a dentist from an island country who immigrated to the United States and opened a clinic. He reported only $400,000 in tax returns every year, but the average annual income of American dentists was $1 million (evil dentists). This attracted the attention of the IRS, so They investigate.

He sent someone to pretend to be a patient, went to his clinic to investigate, and followed his patients, just like agents. After a month of investigation, they found that he could earn 150,000 US dollars a month, which was a huge difference. After investigating enough After providing the evidence, the IRS came to arrest him. He was eventually sentenced to three years in prison without the possibility of bail, and at the same time he had to pay $5 million in back taxes. Do you think this is the end? The big head is at the back. He still needs to pay the fine at one time, which is 24 million US dollars.

Pay all the 29 million immediately, and then go to jail for three years. You can still work as a dentist when you get out. But if you don't pay, the shortfall will be more than 10,000 years. If you sit in jail until you die, you won't be able to pay back the 29 million. Millions, this is reality.

And if you buy something, there is tax on the money you buy, and there is tax on the money he sells.

Two-way taxation is very common in the United States. Otherwise, why do you think duty-free shops are so popular

It is precisely because of these ultra-high taxes that many people in the United States are helpless because they cannot afford to live.

In such an environment and the prohibition of guns, there are many people who cannot afford to live and have gone astray.

Of course, most tourists cannot see these people. Those who actually see them are almost dead.

Under such an environment, many cities in the United States are naturally called sin cities.

The good media has made a ranking. Among the top ten crime cities in the United States, Cleveland is ranked tenth, with 84 murders in 2012 and a poverty rate of 34.3%. Baltimore is ranked ninth, with 219 murders in 12 years and a poverty rate of 25.2. %.

No. 8 New Haven, No. 7 Birmingham, No. 6 Stockton, California, No. 5 Memphis, Tennessee, the city where the Grizzlies are located, with 133 murders in 12 years, No. 4 St. Louis, No. 3 Oakland, California, the city where the Warriors are located, ranks second in the latest half-city darkness, Detroit, with 386 murders in 12 years and a total population of only 700,000.

First place, Flint, with a total population of 100,000, had 63 murders in 12 years and a poverty rate of 40.6%.

After reading this, if some people still insist that the United States is a good place, then there is nothing to say.

However, before these cities of crime, the United States was also not peaceful, but the core area of unrest was not here.

In the decades after the founding of the country, the four major sin cities in the United States were all cities in the East.

The southernmost one is the drug place in South America that Jiang Hai has been to, Miami.

The far west, the evil city, Chicago, and the metropolis New York, the back of the movie The Godfather, is this morning.

Besides these three cities, the city of evil with the longest history is actually Boston.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, Boston was under the rule of the Irish Gang. There was no good place in the entire South District of Boston.

Of course, with the vigorous crackdown by the US government in recent years, the gangs here have long since disappeared.

But just like there are always gray areas where people can't see them, there are also many people here who are engaged in professions that are unknown to others. Among these people, there are some who have grudges against Jiang Hai. For example, this one now...

"Billy Wallen, do you think we can't find you if you hide?" At this time, in an abandoned warehouse in Boston's South District, several men in black suits blocked the warehouse. a group of people.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that it is a blockage than a blockage, because there are more than thirty people in the warehouse at this time, and there are only four of these men in black, more than thirty to four, so to speak. It is more credible that they are blocked.

"Hey, my Chinese friend, I don't understand. What are you talking about, hiding? Who am I? When did I hide?" After hearing the words of the leader of the men in black, a streamer sitting among the people here The angry white man spoke with a knowing look.

"It's best not to hide. You took our money but didn't help us. This puts a lot of pressure on us. After all, there are people above us." After hearing what this man said, the man in black also He didn't care, then he pushed up his sunglasses and said calmly, but the meaning behind his words was obvious, and the intention was to threaten.

"Hi, my mysterious Chinese friend, I have no intention of not doing anything, but you know, that guy is not as easy to mess with as you thought, so the price cannot be the same as before." Squinting his eyes, that guy The white man said with a smile on his face.

"Billy Wallen, don't be so mean to us. You were the one who offered us the price of one million US dollars. Now you have taken us half a million and are recruiting troops to expand. Now you are talking to us." If you can't do it, do you think we really can't do anything to you?" After hearing his words, the man in black gently knocked on his leather shoes. He spoke slowly.

After hearing his words, everyone on Billy Wallen's side instantly felt a strong killing intent. The first person pulled out his gun, and then more people pulled out their guns. He stared at the four people in front of him with a stern expression.

"Hey, brother, be careful what you say. I didn't say not to do it. I did it, but it didn't succeed. The other party is related to the police. If we want to deal with him, we need more manpower and more weapons. You guys The original money is not enough." After pressing the gun of the person next to him, Billy Wallen smiled softly and said seriously.

"Then tell me, how much do you want?" Looking at this man's appearance, the man in black here said calmly.

"The original price of one million will be doubled to two million." Billy Wallen stretched out two fingers and said with a smile.

"I'll give you five million. This is a cashier's check of half a million. Counting the previous half a million, this is the deposit. When will you kill him? When will the remaining four million be credited to your bank account?" Inside." After hearing Billy Wallen's words, the man smiled disdainfully, then took out a check from his pocket, threw it gently on the ground, and then left without looking back.

As for Billy Wallen's younger brothers at this time, they were already stunned by the five million figure.

You know, this is a quite large amount of money. They really never thought that that person's life was worth so much money.

After they left, Billy Wallen's younger brother ran over immediately and picked up the check.

"Boss, is it true? Do we really want to take action?" Looking at Billy Wallen in front of him, his younger brother said softly.

"Hey, when the money is in place, the hand will naturally move!" Looking at the five hundred thousand cashier's check in his hand, Billy Wallen's eyes narrowed, and at this time, the men in black were walking outside. Got in a car and drove towards the center of the city.

"Brother, why is the young master so anxious this time? Didn't he say that things were temporarily put on hold last time?" After we got into the car together, a man in black sitting in the passenger seat took off his glasses and looked back with some confusion. The man in the driver's seat.

"Because the situation of the young master in the country is not very good at this time. The person who has been protecting Anjia has fallen. I heard that his son was killed in Miami. All the criminal evidence was taken by his son's bodyguards, with the mentality of scapegoating. Gave it to someone in China, and the most important thing is that this Jiang Hai is not only related to Qi Li, but also the beef used in the signature dish of the Western restaurant established by the Qi family comes from Jiang Hai. If If something happens to Jiang Hai now, not only can he break Qi Li's heart, but he can also break the roots of the Qi family and prevent their Western restaurant from becoming a burden on them." Squinting his eyes, the man chuckled and said He stood up, but he didn't pay attention. After hearing his words, there was a little brother in the back row who made some small movements.

Naturally, Jiang Hai didn't know this at this time. He was driving his own battle shield, leading Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi towards his forest.
