October 15, 2005, Bangladesh, near the northern city of rangpur many flood victims wait for relief supplies. Frequent natural disasters in Bangladesh, many people are struggling to survive the most basic. In March 1995, the United Nations World Summit for Social Development in 1996 identified as "International Eradication of Poverty"; in December the same year, the General Assembly will be from 1997 to 2006 as the first "International Decade for the eradication of poverty."

The problem of poverty facing the world today, one of the most serious challenges. The United Nations released the data show that the poverty around the world in recent years has achieved positive progress, but countries in reducing poverty, improve health conditions are still a long way to go. At present, there are still 10 million people worldwide living in extreme poverty line, 852 million people go hungry every year about more than 500 million children from hunger and malnutrition and mortality. The world's 6 billion people live in hazardous to health and life of the environment, 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation.

In addition, all regions of the world development trend of serious imbalance. Among them, poverty in Asia has made great progress, while facing the African continent of poverty, hunger, disease and other issues remains grim. The world's 49 least developed countries are 34 countries in Africa. Since 1990, the global number of people living in extreme poverty decreased by 1.3 billion, but in sub-Saharan Africa's extreme poverty from 313 million to 227 million.

Poverty is the "silent crisis", not only has seriously hindered the socio-economic development of poor countries, but also the current regional conflicts, the spread of terrorism and environmental degradation of one of the major causes. Over the years, the international community to make positive efforts to eradicate poverty. The eradication of poverty has been the United Nations and other international organizations to discuss important topics in recent years. In 1990, the "International Decade for the Fourth United Nations Development Strategy", "18th UN General Assembly special session of the Universal Declaration" and the same year in Paris at the second meeting of the Least Developed Countries adopted the "90's assistance to the least developed National Program of Action "and other documents of developing countries have sustained economic development and poverty eradication as the primary strategy of international development goals and international cooperation in priority areas. 1995 United Nations World Summit for Social Development focused on the eradication of poverty, social harmony and promoting development issues, and adopted the "Declaration" and "Program of Action", at the same time in 1996 to determine the international poverty eradication years, from 1997 to 2006 for International Decade for the eradication of poverty. In September 2000, the United Nations Millennium Summit unanimously adopted the "Millennium Development Goals", a commitment to world by the year 2015 people living in extreme poverty and hunger by half the population. 2005 is to promote the achievement of the Millennium Goals of the crucial year.

The United Nations International Day for the Elimination of poverty in 2007 on the theme "poverty-stricken population of change" and is intended to emphasize the poverty-stricken population in the eradication of poverty in their own irreplaceable role.

Rich and Poor

After a few days ago that "a tax threshold to 8,000 yuan more than" a well-known economist Mao Yushi said yesterday in the blog again, "blasting", the local-tax threshold should be referred to 10,000 yuan. At the same time, the National Bureau of Statistics Yao Jingyuan, chief economist also said that a forum on the future of personal income tax threshold should be further enhanced. "In just the introduction of a tax, probably at the national average wage level of 100 yuan, 800 yuan at that time provided for the beginning. Levy is more reasonable. But now the average wage has been greatly improved in individual districts (such as Guangzhou, and so on) and even to 2,000, according to the same ratio threshold should be raised to more than 10,000 yuan only. "Said Mao Yushi, 8,000 yuan too low. In his view, in order to embody the principle of fairness, the Government should tax high-income earners, and then the money allocated to low-income people who, rather than high-income to low-income people and those who have imposed the same The tax. (Dec. 1 Morning News)

I very much agree with the views of Mr. Mao Yushi, in his view, in order to embody the principle of fairness, the Government should tax high-income earners, and then the money allocated to low-income people who, rather than to high-income and low-income people have the same tax levy . The reality, our duty is imposed egalitarianism, superficial rich, to get on those days, to get under the middle class tax has become the main force, it is clear that this is unreasonable Not in line with the country through a tax levy to achieve narrow the gap between rich and poor. In my opinion, "a tax" should be "Shafujipin."

To embody "a tax", "Shafujipin"? I think at least three major measures should be taken, first of all, is a tax levy to be imposed according to the average household income, rather than individual wage levy, as some families although the face of it, high wages, but there are old and small, And one-off, average or poor, to tax them is clearly unreasonable. Secondly, there should be regional differences in developed regions and less developed regions, the average wage, a collection of the tax base should be different from developed areas, 2,000 yuan per month is a high-wage, developed areas, this number is low wages, are imposed A tax is unfair, of course, even the poor to kill the suspect; Third, a tax should be levied against those sectors of the commercial profits should be levied in accordance with the proportion of profits, including proceeds of the stock, the proceeds of the sale of the building, operating income and so on, Into a tax should be levied on the principal.

"Levy a tax" should be "Shafujipin" is not the hatred of the rich, but to remind the rich social responsibility, social obligations, wealth can not be selfish desires, wealth, only to assume public responsibility to become a true wealth, so wealth Zhang Yang Is the social value of wealth to enjoy the highest level.
