Tax collection and management problems of China's
national people to taxation, can have a variety of methods. For example, the poll tax, according to the head tax; tax is based on the exchange amount collection; and the personal income tax (hereinafter referred to as the tax is a tax on personal income). Compared with other kinds of tax revenue has the characteristics of what? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
tax of second and the main advantages, can regulate the gap between rich and poor. The tax is generally designed progressive income tax rate is high, many people point, low income people rate low, this will make it a " rob the rich and assist the poor ". And on income can be fine-tuning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a one percentage point to adjust, exactly at what extent, can be debated in parliament, the state to income gap is very accurate control of people.
China's tax from the design is to regulate the gap between rich and poor. It will be months income is divided into 10 steps, each step of the different tax rates, from the lowest 0% (monthly income in 2000 yuan), to the highest 45% (monthly income in 100000 yuan of above sections). The actual execution down had the opposite effect -- the highest-earning people basically do not pay tax,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the tax burden is mainly composed of the general working-class burden.
detailed analysis of China's income tax can be found, more than half from wage income,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], followed by small business owners and individuals, is on the side of the road before the stalls and open a small window shop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they also belong to the low income earners. To open the boss of the company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the financial business tycoon, real estate >
where is the reason? The tax bureau is unable to know everyone's monthly income. Personal income tax bureau information only to grasp is the unit applying for wages, so only the salary is paid by progressive income tax. But the high income people pay is often not the main income,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but mainly rely on the property,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as stock trading income,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], speculative gold income, a start-up company income, income tax bureau this part cannot grasp. The result is a theory advanced progressive income tax,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the implementation of the tax object only to the general income wage-earners.
does not solve, advanced progressive tax is completely theory. We might as well learn the advanced experience of the Russian tax reform, rethink our tax system.
has two major advantages of tax. First, it aimed at the who, who have to pay tax, not tax can be passed on to others -- if the tax is imposed on the sale of goods, the sale is very easy to raise prices,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is a part of the tax burden onto consumers. This is the case in china.
is the most troublesome but a tax levy high taxes, the tax cost. Whether the tax bureau or the taxpayer, must spend a lot of time and energy to deal with. It's a far more difficult than other taxes. If only consider the government revenue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the most convenient way is to abolish the tax,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], other taxes in a little more will solve the problem. But because of the tax has the function to regulate the gap between rich and poor, great cost to retain.

At any time, we can create the same happiness and satisfaction inside ourselves… regardless of what is happening in our lives. But we must practice this conscious control to have it.
The first step is to practice calm and become aware of your thoughts and feelings. It is difficult to change something of which you have little awareness, so awareness is important. Awareness alone can change events. Simply becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings, simply observing will give you control and change the situation. Awareness is a powerful tool, and the exercises below will teach you how to develop it.
by John F. Harrigan, Jr., M.S.
Do these thoughts help you in your day and create a good atmosphere,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or do your thoughts pull you away with negative impact? How do you want to feel and think? Are you thinking and feeling in a way that helps you, in a way you enjoy?
For more of John's writing see: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] & [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Author's Bio:
Exercise One:
A lifetime of random reactions to external events does not change in a day or two; it takes practice. Getting control of your thoughts and feelings can happen with sustained practice of the simple exercise above when combined with your will to accomplish this outcome,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Exercise Two:
1. Sit in a still quiet place with your feet on the ground, eyes closed, in an upright but relaxed position.
2. Notice how you are breathing… short and halting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], long and deep, or neither? It does not matter how you are breathing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], simply observe HOW you are breathing.
3. Keep observing your breathing process and notice the change.
In this exercise you are taking conscious control of your thoughts and feelings, your reaction to life.
This can be a tough lesson, but we are virtually slaves until we understand that we control our reactions to life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that we are in control. Other people do NOT make us feel good or bad; it is our reaction to them. It is our choice as to how we respond. It is our choice of how we feel and think in response to what other people do. We control our feelings and thoughts, not circumstances and not someone else. We are responsible and in control.
Do this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes three times a day for 10 days. Write down how you felt before the first exercise; write how you feel at the end of 10 days.
* Become aware of what you are thinking and feeling.
* Decide how you want to feel and think.
* Initiate the thoughts and feelings you want.
* Repeat the improved feelings and thoughts.

After you have practiced Exercise One for a few days, begin to ask yourself how you are feeling and thinking? How do these thoughts and feelings serve you; do they help or hinder your well being?
So how do we change our thinking and feeling to a better condition?
Think of how you want to feel and think, how about “happy” and “relaxed”? As simple as this exercise sounds, it works; try it. Begin to think happy and relaxed thoughts.
If we win a new car and react with happiness, the new car is NOT making us happy. Our decision to be happy in response to winning a car is what creates the happiness.
Of course, a life threatening event will get a strong response from any human. But most of every day is NOT a life threatening event. In the modern world, even if there is a life threatening event, the situation is usually best solved in a civil and balanced way without “emergency” emotions.
Sounds easy doesn’t it? It is easy, but getting yourself to actually do it and practice day after day it is NOT easy. Most of us need and help and reminders… such as reading an article like this.
1. Look at your feet, imagine that they feel happy and relaxed.
2. Think of your arms, from shoulder to elbow, as being happy and relaxed.
3. Imagine your hands full of pleasure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your knees being happy, your legs and thighs and your head at peace and happy too.
4. Go through every inch of your body imagining it happy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], relaxed and pleasurable.
Observing your breath in a gentle quiet way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for a few minutes, will usually relax you. It will also begin a process of inner awareness and control. Do this exercise three times a day. Awareness will develop.
Want to feel better? You CAN, in an instant!
Most of us think our feelings and thoughts are dependent on outside events… and not in our own control. This is wrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and biologically incorrect. We control our feelings and thoughts. No one else puts them there but ourselves. We can change our feelings and thoughts any time we want.
Our thoughts and feelings are a reaction to life events. This reaction is OUR reaction and no other person's; we are responsible for our reactions, thoughts and feelings.
We often get stuck in habitual reactions: when something happens, we react a certain way again and again. When we fail to achieve or acquire something we want, we may get upset and worried. This seems natural and normal. But the failure or missed expectation does not create our bad feelings and uncomfortable thoughts, WE DO!
Circumstances do not matter: Good situations come and go. Bad situations are the same; they rarely last forever. The question is: How are you reacting? How do you feel and think? Would you change it if you could? You can change right now in this exercise.
We are all able to control our happiness regardless of life events, regardless of what is happening around us. We are intended and neurologically designed to control our feelings and thoughts and create a world we like. But most of us fall into HABIT, the habit of thinking our happiness depends on external events,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when this is never true.

Most of us enter the world of hospital-based advocacy as a “beginner.” We lack either:
• the technical knowledge because we are not trained in medicine; or
• the personal knowledge because we have never been an advocate and/or patient before.
For hospital personnel, we may be operating on the “other side” for the first time in our lives and lack the authority and perhaps the detachment to effectively “make medical things happen.” There are many books authored by doctors describing this very challenge when they found themselves horizontal and dressed in the lovely backside revealing hospital gown…

The Internet is much easier to keep current and on it resides cutting-edge information. The caveat here, however, is caution. I am not a medical expert and would certainly not be comfortable endorsing any medically based sites. However, I have discovered sites that can provide excellent resource material for anyone stepping into the role of advocate. With acknowledgement that some of the following material is copied directly from each site, here are resources I have used and found extremely helpful. Many are critical to the research you will conduct online. When available, both phone and Internet access information are provided.
Because we rarely have the time to prepare ourselves, we need to designate a shelf/section or add to our home reference library materials. Among many good books I have collected over the years, I recommend that a good home-based medical reference library minimally include:
• a medical dictionary (containing terms and their definitions);
• The Pill Book (a home/lay person version of the Physician’s Desk Reference);
•,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; The Merck Manual of Medical Information (information on medical conditions);
• basic and advanced first aid manuals;
• Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide (information on treatments that are not considered “conventional” and typically are not reimbursed by insurance companies without LOTS of agonizing effort!); and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
•,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; Hospital Stay Handbook: A Guide to Becoming A Patient Advocate for Your Loved Ones.
If you do not have time to read all these materials cover to cover, at least scan the table of contents so you are familiar with what is contained in each.

(630) 792-5000
Medline Plus (a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health – your tax dollars at work)
• I would have liked to give you a link to the online Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR), but, without medical credentials, you have to pay for this service
• Site contains great drug information
• Not sponsored by any drug company so you don’t get those pesky pop-ups or one-sided views.
• Drawback – you have to know the generic name of the drug (e.g., I tried to look up Dilantin and found it under Phenytoin)
• If this happens to you, just type in the drug name in their Search Medline Plus box at the top of each page

Horse’s eyes are the largest of any land mammal and are placed laterally on their heads for better range. Their view reaches even slightly behind them – close to 350 degrees in order to monitor their surroundings and detect predators. Lukas’ eyes have a startling appearance and are what many people notice first and tend to remember. Most horses have a brown pupil rimmed with a light shade of gray – dark and plain, without much variation. Lukas’ eyes have a glowing amber hue with striking intensity – flecks of gold and onyx give them depth and complexity. It’s often said that horses don’t like to be looked at straight in the eye – in nature direct eye contact tends to be interpreted as a threat. Lukas is most certainly an exception to this. He will contort himself in the funniest positions or pop up out of nowhere so I have no choice but to stare deeply into his mesmerizing gaze. “Look here, Karen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], aren’t I fascinating? What about now – isn’t the light spectacular from this angle?” He’s only satisfied when I assure him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that yes indeed, he does have impressive peepers. I’ve also come to realize that this is a way for him to connect with me – a comforting ritual that soothes him. In the wild,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], horses rely on each other for their well-being. Acceptance and belonging to a group is an instinctive and crucial element for daily survival. Any rejection is viewed as a very upsetting occurrence. This could jeopardize their position in the herd and make them vulnerable to being ostracized,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a most certain doom.
Most often,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], our locked eyes are accompanied by low murmurs of adoration and feather-light touches by me. Thoroughbreds are notoriously thin-skinned – part of their sensitive nature. Out grazing, Lukas will fidget and squirm while I examine every inch of him until I find the offending speck – a tiny leaf on his back or a miniscule twig touching his legs. This has resulted in some peculiar penchants of his, for example: no running water sprayed on him, period. The ticklish drips drive him crazy and his tail swishes and flicks in outraged annoyance. Instead, I gently wipe him with a damp towel to remove sweat or to cool him off on scorching days. Any scratching is to be avoided at all costs – the grating is too much for his tender nerves and he literally sinks to avoid it from uneducated visitors. Brushing is to take place with light strokes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and his forelock and tail are hand groomed to avoid painful pulling of tangles. His long mane is also only touched by my hands, and he gracefully lowers his neck while I run my fingers through the long strands and re-braid the sections to prevent knots.
Author',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych];s Bio: ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych];
From the moment of Lukas’ first greeting kiss, we’re in almost constant contact. I pick something up, Lukas nuzzles my shoulder. I turn and his face grazes my cheek. I bend over and he pulls on the back of my shirt or rests his chin on my head. It’s a comical show – like having a messy and disorderly shadow. No sooner do I put something down, Lukas is handing me another towel. Trying to sweep includes pushing his nose out of the dust pan. Cleaning his water bowl requires that I sprinkle his muzzle as well to spiff it up. Even brushing him and applying fly spray is an intimate encounter for Lukas. “Over here, this way, higher up,” he seems to say while supervising my every move - nudging me in the correct directions and rubbing any parts of me he can reach to reciprocate my efforts.
Lukas allows clipping and will stand quietly for all procedures (done by me) without using any type of equipment or restraint. As long as I explain prior to the event and show him what I have in my hand, he’s accepting of what I do as if he understands that it’s for his own good. In the early years, I made the mistake of surprising him with a tube of de-wormer. I plucked it out of a back pocket, stuck it into his mouth without an explanation and plunged the contents past his teeth. His expression of indignant violation was obvious – he spent the next half hour making gagging noises and avoiding me in a sulk. Since then, even Lukas’ vet carefully describes the purpose of visits and patiently waits for his sigh of tolerant resignation before proceeding. Not long ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an on-call vet stopped by to vaccinate Lukas – a routine annual nasal administration. Things got off to a bad start when the vet entered Lukas’ stall without an introduction and proceeded to reach for his halter. Wide-eyed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lukas pulled back and needless to say, the vet left without Lukas’ cooperation. So embarrassing! “I thought he was the world’s smartest horse,” the vet snapped in irritation. Apparently, he’s also the world’s most opinionated equine as well.
Touching is an essential part of our day together. In the wild, horses live in herds and stay close to each other for survival. Very social creatures, they tend to pick certain friends and engage in mutual grooming and games with them. Often forming life-long attachments,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they’ve been known to recognize childhood friends after over twenty years of separation.

My aim was to stay in the background, out of the way, and out of shouting range when one of their antics pushed him to his limits. He was a forgiving father though, so it wasn't long before we were all laughing and singing together once more. Those years seemed to be for singing operettas, mostly Rodgers and Hammerstein, since they were the favorites of the time. Our exposure to music was not limited to any one period or classification though. On the Victrola, dad would play Nelson Eddie and Rise Stevens' rendition of "The Chocolate Soldier." Then there was Beatrice Kay, with her throaty, dance-hall voice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Kay Kaiser, as well; who made wacky sound effects accompanied by music -- a man well before his time, for entertainment. After fresh showers or baths,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as bedtime approached, Strauss Waltzes filled the evening air in our home. It was delightful to nod off to dreamland, listening to imaginative waltzes that more than likely enhanced our nightly visions. Music was a family thing. My grandfather Messina played in John Philip Sousa 's band for a while and we proudly displayed the only picture we had of grandpapa to evidence his venture.
Carole, who was around sixteen, had on the tightest sweater in her closet and Capri pants. Her interests, much to dads despair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were boys, boys, boys. And the boy's interests -- of course, Carole. She was a knockout for a teenager and it was going to be all dad could handle to watch over her. Dad had an undeniable devotion to us that was well evidenced in all he did in our time together. Martha had just entered her teen years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that didn't faze her, she was a free spirited tomboy; only interested in playing softball and hitting the neighborhood public tennis courts with her girlfriends as often as dad would allow. And me, well I recall being around ten years old; those were my formative years, right! I remember exploring all life offered without limitations, because that was what dad encouraged us to do – just be home by nine o’clock. And, I was doing it quietly. The combination of Carole and Martha both being teens was more than enough to keep a father busy without any added help from a third little woman.
While the musical instruments were not new and shinny,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they worked their magic well. Among them were: the piano,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a couple of small organs, several accordions, and one swingin' sax. Oh yes, dad carried a harmonica around in his pocket, just in case, and pulled it out on several occasions when we were traveling or visiting others where no instruments were present. That harmonica worked wonders on summer evenings on the porch.
Dad kept with tradition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and when the time was right, Carole and Martha both got accordions; and me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], well at sixteen, he bought me a brand new piano. How he could afford it, I don't know, but I'm sure it was purchased with a lot of love. Music lessons followed. For me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the lessons were eventually discontinued. My first teacher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a nun, was transferred from the parish. My second teacher left town abruptly. And after my third teacher's departure, dad decided that it was just going to be me and my piano from there on. I liked that thought. Without daily structured lessons, I could do whatever I wanted -- great. I taught myself -- now don't get the wrong idea -- I'm not a great pianist. Those structured lessons might have helped.
Most often, living with dad was like living with a mentor. He wasn't just our father -- he was also our friend, our fishing buddy, our art teacher, our clown, and most of all a great Italian tenor. He sang like Enrico Caruso as well as anyone, including Mario Lanza. Pagliacci was his favorite, or at least the one I remember the most. We didn't have air conditioning back then, and with windows wide open, the neighborhood was his audience. No complaints though, only smiles on faces as they listened to the music that filled the air. Just follow the only male voice in our home to wherever it led you, and there was our dad smiling. Our lessons of music seemed to have no limitations. On evenings after dinner, when we would be cleaning up the dishes together,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], songs filled the air, rising well above the clanging of the pots and pans. We would be in our after school clothes (couldn't get our school uniforms dirty.) I can recall how "Norman Rockwell" we looked back then, three girls washing dishes with their father. Dad wore a white tee shirt and work pants.

Papa took us to free summer concerts in the parks and in later years, to the Muni. My first experience with classical music was when he once escorted us to a young people’s concert at the old Kiel Auditorium. That experience has stayed long and lovingly, lingering in my memories. It was the day I found my soul and began to recognize the passion that stirs within me from listening to music of all sorts echoing through the air. My grandma Adele, played the piano well, and with her large family of thirteen, they had their own family orchestra going. Those who couldn't play; sang -- no one was left out and no one was unimportant. Each ones contribution made the family an undivided community from which nourishing moments produced growth and sharing.
But I do love playing and tinkering at the keys. It has become an extension of myself and allows me to express what words cannot. Many a time, when no one's around, of course, I cozy up to the piano and let my fingers tell the keys what I'm feeling. It's a very private thing shared only with myself and Source; a very private moment. It's not my music that makes it grand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the sharing it with Source. Isn't it amazing how, as we grow older and reflect on our parents contributions to our lives, the contributions just keep rippling out and growing more and more!
Author's Bio:
Since grandma's piano was the familiar gathering spot, it was fitting that pictures of her children adorned the top of the piano and grew to hold many grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well, in years to come. Though some went far away, having their pictures about when singing during family gatherings brought their presence back to the safety of her home to enjoy the moments we all shared.
