C2305 Source of objections (1/2)
”Benefits, in the end, are all conflicts of interest. How could those high and mighty Bankers, the big business leaders, and the nobles pay them back to the lowly commoners?”
”Compulsory education is a bottomless pit. Once it is fixed by law, the annual financial allocations will only increase but not decrease …”
”Who would be willing to shoulder this burden? ”Hehe, I can understand it just by thinking about it. If the navy says 10 million pounds for the additional 3 battleships, then it would be pretty much the same. Although there will be a huge conflict behind the scenes, but for this kind of investment, the business community will be able to recognize it!”
”This kind of long-term and permanent investment is completely unbearable for merchants. Wouldn't this be a permanent tax increase? ”Furthermore, the beneficiaries are the children of the dirty thieves and beggars in the slums. This makes those high and mighty even more unwilling …”
”Don't be angry, please let me continue. Although my words are ear-piercing, you should understand that this is all true!”
Xiao Letian said painfully, ”It's hard to reconcile the conflicts between classes. Because it's a private matter of humanity, which merchant would be willing to pay taxes? ”After all, if there were no legal sanctions, they would never have gone out and taken out an extra penny. They could have stolen it or escaped it, couldn't they?” ”” ”” ”” No, no.
”But Britain is a country with rules. No one is above the law, so even if they don't want to, they still have to pay taxes!”
”The governments of all the countries in the world are unable to create wealth by themselves. Every year, the revenue would come entirely from the national tax revenue, since that tax revenue would come from the people … ”Or from the business world, so when the government spends this money, it's bound to be restricted by the business world …”
”Because no one wants their taxes to be used in the wrong places, and even more so, they don't want to increase their taxes!”
”Well, here's the problem. Where would the elites of these empires spend their taxes? ”Of course it's to his advantage. For example, the navy and army are increasing their military expenditure. This is to ensure the safety of the sea and the colonies. This money should be spent!”
”If we don't rely on the army to suppress those aboriginals in the colony and those bandits in the sea, wouldn't we be robbing their goods from the merchant ships? With regards to their own interests, of course they would support these financial allocations! ”
”The expansion of railways, highways, waterways, and piers. This money could easily be passed through the Congress because these are the lifeblood of business. Businessmen can indirectly profit from these construction projects …”
”There are also investments in public works, such as the expansion of sewage, gas lamps, sculptures, hospitals, and so on. These investments can directly improve the lives of the people, and there won't be many obstacles in the Congress …”
”Don't forget, most of these members of the Congress are at the top. They have a lot of influence. This kind of public funding will first be used in the Rich District, right?”
Xiao Letian smiled sinisterly at Gladstone. These ear-piercing words made the political veteran blush a little: ”Enough, it's not as bad as you say …”
”Alright!” ”There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you speak the truth. Behind politics is always the game of money and benefits. You and I are both familiar with this path, aren't you?”
