To Rock's surprise, Ada was not in favor of raising farm taxes.
In other words, Ada did not want Rock to promote this policy.
The reason is simple. If you want to offend others, let others do it. Roque is not the only one who notices this problem. Philip must also know the benefits of raising taxes for the federal government, but there is no need for Roque to do what Philip does not do.
.
"You are simply crazy. The vast majority of farmers in southern Africa are Chinese. I remember that you are the most determined to safeguard the interests of the Chinese. Why, are you going to attack your people now?" Ada didn't understand why Roque was acting like this.
There are only a few white farmers in Cape State, but across southern Africa, Chinese farmers are the majority.
"No, I still firmly safeguard the interests of the Chinese. Tax collection is not harmful to farmers. On the contrary, it is to better protect the interests of farmers." Roque is not targeting anyone, he is just doing it at the appropriate time.
Appropriate thing.
When Rock came to southern Africa, the white population exceeded one million and the Chinese population was less than a thousand. Most of them were still working hard in Johannesburg. At that time, Rock had to do his best to protect the interests of the Chinese and ensure that Chinese immigrants could survive in southern Africa.
Come down and live better and better, only in this way can we attract more Chinese to come to Southern Africa and take root in Southern Africa.
Now the situation has been completely reversed. The Chinese have become the majority in southern Africa and are playing an increasingly important role. Rock's focus has also begun to rise from the Chinese group to the entire southern Africa.
For the federal government of Southern Africa, it will definitely be beneficial to the federal government to increase taxes on farmers.
"Why?" Ada didn't understand Rock's explanation.
"Why else? Increasing taxes on farms can increase the revenue of federal governments at all levels, so that the federal government can provide better services to its citizens." Rock's current way of thinking is not to say the same as it was twenty years ago.
Compared with ten years ago, there is a huge difference.
When the Southern African Federal Government was first established ten years ago, Roque was worried that the Southern African Federal Government would completely go astray like South Africa in another time and space. So at that time, Roque had already prepared that once the Southern African Federal Government got out of control, Nyasaland would
Stay together with Rhodesia and Transvaal and prepare to break away from southern Africa.
Roque was certainly not the only one with a similar mentality at that time, so the federal government in Southern Africa actually did not have much power. The power of the state governments was even greater than that of the federal government at some times. This was obviously abnormal.
The development of Southern Africa is relatively stable now. Compared with another time and space, Southern Africa has a larger territory, a larger population, and stronger strength. For the sake of the Chinese living in Southern Africa, Rock also needs a strong and stable federation.
government.
"Are you ready to give up your privileges in Nyasaland?" Ada was still very sensitive.
"No, I just hope that the federal government can play a greater role." Roque is not that great yet. Nyasaland is Roque's fiefdom and his last trump card. Roque will definitely not give up.
The same goes for Stoudemire. Even though Stoudemire personally dismantled the South African company, in fact the power of the Rhodes family in Rhodesia has not been affected. In Rhodesia, the Rhodes family still has the right to organize local governments and establish
Privileges such as the army and police, doing business, setting up banks and joint-stock companies, building roads, and exploiting land, forests and mineral deposits just continue to exist in another form.
"Then you have to think about it carefully." Ada finally understood Roark's purpose.
That's right, Roque is really not making a wedding dress for others, but clearing the way for himself to become prime minister.
The Prime Minister of Southern Africa is still Philippe, so Roque is not the one who gets scolded for pushing to increase taxes on farmers.
Oh, looking at it this way, everyone is cheating on their father, and Rock is cheating on his father-in-law——
Roque must have thought it over carefully. Strictly speaking, he was not cheating on his father-in-law, otherwise Felice would not be able to explain it.
The next day, a congressman from Bechuanaland proposed to Congress to increase taxes on farms to increase the revenue of federal governments at all levels.
This proposal is reasonable. Bechuanaland is different from the three central states. There is no heavy industry at all in the territory, and there is very little light industry. Without increasing taxes on farms, the Bechuanaland government can only rely on federal government funding to continue to sustain itself.
This is no joke. Last year, the state government revenue of Bechuanaland, which covers an area of more than 580,000 square kilometers, was just over 1.5 million rand. Needless to say, compared with the three central states, even Dia, which was recently annexed by southern Africa,
Not even Shizhou.
The state of Dias is also supported by the Port of Walvis Bay. Last year, the Port of Walvis Bay alone contributed more than 5 million rand in revenue to the state of Dias.
Governments at all levels of the federal government have long been salivating over such a good thing like tax collection. To be honest, Roque has always disagreed. The federal government has been so stretched in recent years.
Now with Roque's push, Congress has set a new record in passing major bills since the establishment of the federal government in Southern Africa.
In just three days, from proposal to improvement to voting, newspaper editors had no time to interpret the new tax law in detail, and the new tax law had already begun to be implemented.
This is also the fastest response from governments at all levels since the establishment of the federal government in Southern Africa. Almost as soon as Congress passed the new tax law, each state made additions based on the new tax law based on the conditions of the state.
Of course, the same is true in Nyasaland. When the federal government passed the new tax law, it also formulated state tax laws based on the situation in Nyasaland.
But unlike some states that are impatient, the Nyasaland state government has given farmers a buffer time. The new tax law will not be implemented until January 1 next year, which means it will still take more than half a year.
Even so, the announcement of the new tax law still caused some impact in Nyasaland.
The vast majority of farmers express their understanding of the new tax law. In the traditional Chinese concept, it is natural for farmers to pay for food and farming, and there has never been a saying that they should not pay for food. The land in Nyasaland is privately owned by Roque, and the farmers’ names are
He has ownership of the land, but the source of this right comes from Roque.
However, there are also some farmers who are unwilling to accept the provisions of the new tax law.
After the implementation of the new tax law, farms will have to pay taxes based on the area of the farm. Although the current tax amount is relatively low, based on the ethics of federal governments at all levels, God knows whether the tax amount will increase in the future to a point that farmers cannot bear.
Just the day after the new tax law was announced, a group of farmers gathered in the town's only bar in the town of Silver Mountain near Ulysses to discuss the details of the new tax law.
"According to the provisions of the new tax law, a farm with an area of 100 acres will be levied an additional land tax of about ten rand per year in addition to the transaction tax on the sale of agricultural products. This is too unreasonable. Some farms are doing well.
Some farms are not well managed, and even well-run farms cannot guarantee stable income every year. Does this mean that even if there is a loss, land tax is necessary?" Maxwell from the UK expressed his opinion on the new tax law.
Extremely, since the new tax law was announced, Maxwell has made bold claims that if the tax officials dare to come to Maxwell's farm to collect taxes, Maxwell will let the dogs go.
It's okay, I just released the dogs and didn't use any guns.
"Maxwell, you have to understand the fundamental reason why the federal government levies land tax. How big is your farm? 250 acres, right, but how much have you developed? Less than 50 acres, so nearly 200 acres of land are idle.
, This is the reason why the federal government levies land tax-" Tax officer Sukai graduated from Nyasaland Army Academy, participated in the World War, and had high prestige in the small town.
"That's my land, I can do with it whatever I want, no one can control it -" Maxwell was hurt. He didn't want to let the land sit idle, but he couldn't blame others.
Farmers in southern Africa often own hundreds of acres of land. It is difficult for a single farmer and his family to fully develop the land, even with the use of agricultural machinery.
Therefore, almost all farms must hire African-American workers to meet the demand for full utilization of the land.
Maxwell was a very stingy man. Not only was he very stingy towards African-American workers, he also had conflicts with a human resources company that had a large number of workers. As a result, the human resources company stopped providing workers to Maxwell's farm.
This resulted in a large amount of land being left idle on Maxwell's farm.
"Maxwell, all the land in Nyasaland belongs to the Lord, not to you personally -" The mayor, Song Lao, is the earliest resident of Yinshan Town and also has high prestige.
"The Constitution of the Federal Government clearly states: Private property is sacred and inviolable. How come in Nyasaland, the farm I bought with my own money is no longer mine?" Maxwell moved out of the "Constitution", "Constitution"
It does say so in the article, the first one is.
"Maxwell, the land in Nyasaland is the Lord's private property. You are just renting the land. If you are not satisfied with this, I think the Lord can return the 'rent' you paid to you at any time -" A man in work clothes
, Chen Sheng, who was wearing a pistol on his waist, had a playful look on his face. His name was a bit loud.
"This is against the Constitution, how can we allow this to happen?" Maxwell tried to win over more supporters.
"Maxwell, please keep your voice down, it's only ten rands a year, which is not much for you -" Mr. Song is mature and serious. Any farmer in southern Africa can earn three to five hundred rands a year.
"It's not a matter of more or less -" Maxwell was still resisting.
"What's the problem? Even if you are in the UK, don't you need to pay taxes on your property?" Su Kai has been to Europe and knows what the situation is like in Europe.
This is true. The so-called "private property is sacred and inviolable" depends on how you understand it. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
