Chapter 302(2/2)
"Perhaps we can ask the California Customs Department for help? I heard that the Customs Department's revenue last year was very considerable. If they are willing to lend a helping hand, our life will be much easier." Deng Wenyu thought for a while and said.
"What a bad idea, it won't work."
This unrealistic idea was quickly rejected by Liang Yao. In California, tariff revenue is the second largest tax after gold mining revenue.
But this is federal government money. Is it so easy to get federal government money?
The relatively harmonious relationship between California and the federal government is based on the fact that the federal government can successfully receive tariffs in California.
If you use the federal government's tariffs, the poor guys in the federal government will fight you tooth and nail, and they might even support new consortiums to move into California and take their place.
Not only Liang Yao doesn't want this to happen, but everyone who is doing it must not want to see such a result.
Although Liang Yao has some troops on hand, his current strength is not strong enough to compete with the federal government. The federal government should still get the tariffs that should be collected by the federal government.
"To make gold mine owners and gold prospectors suffer more, increase the gold mining tax rate?" Education Minister Pearman proposed.
"California's gold mining tax is already very high! We must not continue to increase it!" Minister of Industry Fair first jumped out to object. Pillman himself is not engaged in gold mining. He said this clearly because he was standing and talking without pain. He didn't understand.
Current status of gold mining.
“In the past two years, gold mine owners and gold prospectors have been the absolute largest taxpayers in California, and they have contributed a lot to California. Continuing to increase taxes will have incalculable consequences.
Furthermore, the reason why California's population can grow rapidly is because people firmly believe that they can get rich by gold mining in California, and they can see the hope of changing their lives in California.
Every time we raise taxes by one cent, it will reduce the hope of gold diggers. This is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst. I firmly oppose raising gold mining taxes!"
