People all over the world have a myth: the higher the average income of the people in a country, the happier the people will be! What does this mean? That is, the lower the average income of a country, the less happy its people are! Is this really the case? Do you know what “per capita income” is? Why is the per capita income in the United States so high, but 50% of the people in the United States live below the poverty line? The United States and Japan are both developed countries! The United States and Japan are both developed countries and high-income countries, including Europe, which are following the same route! "Per capita income" is directly related to one thing: "the gap between rich and poor"! It’s not that the per capita income is high, but the people of this country are happy! New York is a place with high per capita income. Relative prices in New York are also high, and the cost of living is even higher. Are the people of New York happy? The people of New York are very unhappy! The higher the crime rate in a country or a city, the less happy the people's lives will be! So, we can know why the crime rate is high in the United States! Why is the crime rate in Taiwan getting higher and higher now! Because people's lives are unhappy, they want to destroy their own lives and the lives of others. That's why there are so many "criminals"! If everyone lives happily, who would have the desire to commit sin?
"Per capita income" is a big lie! If a country has a "large gap between rich and poor", the people in this country will definitely be unhappy! If the gap between rich and poor in a country is large, the country’s economy must be bad! And there will only be more and more poor people in this country! First of all, if 5% of the rich control 90% of the wealth, do you think the per capita income can be reflected? Of course not! If the per capita income in developed countries is US$50,000, and a country has a population of 10 million, but 1 million people have an annual income of US$1 million, the country's per capita income can reach US$100,000 per year! In fact, there are still 9 million people in this country who may have no income, or whose income is less than $5,000 a year! So, do you think per capita income can reflect whether people are happy? Of course not! This is what America is like now! The gap between rich and poor in the United States is so large that it is impossible to reflect how many poor people there are. Why are there so many homeless people in every city in America? I’m really shocked by the homeless population in Texas! I remember traveling to Texas in ancient times and I didn’t see a single homeless person! Generally in older cities, the "housing" are ancestral houses, so it is really difficult to find homeless people, but now there are as many homeless people in Texas as in New York! So, let’s not be deceived by “per capita income” anymore! A country must solve the "problem of the gap between rich and poor". The "gap between rich and poor" is the real problem of a country!!
Why is the “rich-poor gap” a problem? First of all, the gap between the rich and the poor prevents the circulation of wealth and prevents the economy from being dynamic! For a country to have a good economy, it must first let everyone have money to spend! The economic cycle is not just about "making money", the economic cycle must "spend money". If everyone does not "spend money" and everyone only wants to "make money", how can there be an economic cycle? "Currency" is originally "the function of transaction and circulation." If everyone deposits money in banks, how can this country have an economic cycle? Why do banks use interest rates to regulate the economic cycle? If a country's economy is doing very well, banks must raise interest rates as a way to shrink economic liquidity. Raising interest rates will allow more money to flow back to the banks, which can slow down the rapid economic expansion. Banks play a "braking role" in the national economic cycle! When the economy shows signs of shrinking, banks must lower interest rates to allow more money to circulate in the market. Only in this way can the economic cycle be promoted. At this time, banks have the role of "stepping on the accelerator"! This is the role of banks in the economic cycle! Why does the "gap between rich and poor" destroy the economic cycle? Because money is in the hands of a few people, this will cause a "consumption gap"! What is a "consumption gap"? There is a demand for low-end products, but the low-end population has no spending power, they don’t have money! Because the low-end population is in urgent need, but because the low-end population has no money, they have no spending power! And factories will also close down because the low-end population has no spending power! Because low-end products embody “volume”! High-end products reflect "price"! Therefore, China should not worry about tariffs. The low-end population in the United States basically has no spending power! Tariffs have little impact on Chinese goods exported to the United States. On the contrary, China can use reciprocal tariffs to cause insufficient tariff losses!!
Give China one: "Labor Pain Therapy"! It is the "labor pain" of a woman giving birth. If China can get through this "labor pain period", I believe that the Chinese people will definitely be happier in the future! 1. Entering deflation (falling house prices, falling profits of all kinds), China is currently at this stage! 2. Link gold to the renminbi! 3. To reduce the gap between the rich and the poor (encourage single-salary income), you can expand the collection of income taxes (income: corporate income, personal income, real estate transaction income, stock trading income), so that there is not a big income gap among the people! Narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas! 4. Pay attention to children’s moral and character education! Let everyone stop being mercenary! 5. Encourage three generations to live together (so that aging will not have too much impact on society)! 6. Pay attention to family education! Reduce the divorce rate! "Divorce" will cause certain harm to children and society! "Divorce" has an impact on social harmony and stability! 7. Diversify school education! No longer blindly advocating "scientific education", but more advocating traditional culture and the inheritance of traditional culture! It means more "humanistic education" so that everyone has the opportunity to develop their own specialties, such as opera, dance, wood arts... China has a population of 1.4 billion, and it cannot develop completely in a single way. This will inevitably cause "social imbalance"! The country can use "policies" to make people and society develop more diversified! For a country to prosper for peoples, it cannot rely on a few elites! China must value every person, and every Chinese person is important to China! We must understand one thing: "class" and "laziness" will cause the destruction of the country! I believe that Chinese people will never be lazy! We must reshape our "values"! Our values need to change. They are no longer values based on "making money as the purpose", but values based on "service as the purpose" and "self-realization values"! What is "self-actualization"? "Self-actualization" means: Serving others in what we like to do, and we can also enjoy the fun of serving others! This is: We enjoy what we like to do, and we can also help others while doing it. This is the true self-realization of our life!!
