Is it really reasonable to levy property tax?

First of all, we have to find out what the real estate tax refers to. First it was called property tax, then it was called property tax. Now some people say property tax, as well as property tax, special consumption tax and so on. Since 1982, the land has been state-owned. In fact, in 1954 Constitution, farmers' ownership of land and related means of production is still recognized, but it has changed in 1982 Constitution. Because the collection of property tax needs a legislative procedure of the National People's Congress, the property tax was put forward, and 1986 passed the provisional regulations on property tax, which taxed operating houses, but not non-operating houses and self-occupied houses. Moreover, because this tax is difficult to collect, some local taxation bureaus have joined forces with some neighborhood committees to conduct comprehensive tax collection by rewarding and reporting. In recent years, due to the formation of volcanic magma, the government inserted two more conduits, which led to a sharp rise in housing prices, thus offending all those who could not afford to buy a house. The result of the government levying property tax again will offend all those who can afford to buy a house. As a result, the whole country was offended. What is the basis of the government's governance? The World Bank report "Urban real estate tax reform, Guiding Principles and Suggestions" gives a shocking conclusion that "property tax will inevitably bear a very heavy political price". I think this sentence is most appropriate for our government. I hope our government will not be misled by those shameless and hateful pet economists. What do these scholars hate? They are a group of dogs raised by the rich and powerful. When the government wants to formulate a certain policy, they will neither stand on the people's side nor consider the problem from a scientific point of view, but will only try their best to please and express their views. For example, these pet scholars pointed out that the collection of real estate tax obviously increased the cost of housing ownership, dealt a greater blow to speculators holding vacant houses, reduced their income from real estate speculation, and directed funds to reasonable economic fields, and so on. These comments are basically nonsense. For example, Guosen Securities once pointed out in such nonsense that the gradual advancement of real estate tax reform will weaken the investment attributes of real estate, help stabilize housing prices and change people's psychological expectations. What is the essence of property tax? Is it used to suppress housing prices? You've got even the most basic idea wrong. In the United States, land is private, so it is reasonable for landowners to pay real estate tax. If an American finds oil on his own land, it belongs to him personally, because the land is private. And our land belongs to the government, and we have no privatization basis for paying property tax at all. The real estate developer has paid the rental fee, which is almost the same as the rent, which means we have paid the rent. How to pay the property tax to the government that owns the land after paying the rent? How can the government do whatever it wants? The government calls it property tax, real estate tax and property tax, which is illegal anyway. What will happen if we find oil under the land where we build houses? We have to demolish it and drive us all away. Moreover, the purpose of levying property tax in the United States is not to suppress housing prices, but to make housing prices appreciate, to store wealth in the people, and to make ordinary people get higher value. For example, according to American practice, the average property tax in the United States is 1.38%. This property tax is 28% for the township government, 22% for the county government and only 4% for the state government, making a total of 54%. But you should know that there are very few government officials in the township and county governments in the United States. A county government may only have three government officials, one in charge of justice, one in charge of marriage certificate and license inspection, and one administrative officer. The number of people in their county government is even less than that in our street committee. Why? Because the American government is very efficient, the American people will not spend money to support so many government officials, unlike us, there are officials everywhere! After receiving the property tax, local governments in the United States will use 54% of it to hire police to improve public security, construction and environment, and the remaining 46% of the property tax will be used to improve education. The annual budget of public primary and secondary education in the United States is $300 billion, all of which comes from this 46% property tax. 99% of Americans go to public schools, from kindergarten to high school, for a total of *** 13 years, all of which are free. Some wealthy schools also have free lunches, which is what we really take from the people and use for the people. All the expenditures of the U.S. government are clearly recorded, and ordinary people can check online at any time. Unlike our government's budget, it is simply a muddled account. The local public security, environment and schools have all improved, and house prices have naturally gone up. As for the value-added part, the US government takes 1.38% of the real estate tax, and the remaining 98.62% goes to the real estate owners. That's why Americans are happy to pay property tax, because property will increase in value. Then I want to ask my friends, if our government can spend every penny on our environment, on the education of our children, on our personal safety protection, on the flowers and trees near us, and on the environmental sanitation near us, are you willing to pay? Of course you know. The essence of American property tax is worth discussing, because it can't improve our living environment, community safety and school education. Therefore, we must collect all our property taxes through the government to help us improve the environment, improve public security, improve schools and increase the value of our property. For the American people, they can enjoy so many benefits through the government by spending only 1.38% every year, but I personally can't do so many benefits. Only through the public power of the government can people in all communities pay real estate tax at the same time, thus achieving the purpose of improving the environment, public security and education. Therefore, the property tax in the United States is to let the property appreciate, thus hiding wealth in the people. Chinese scholars, on the other hand, propose to suppress housing prices through property tax. They don't understand the basic concepts at all. It used to be said that these scholars would get angry, but now they won't. What should I care about them? So many poor people make a living by talking nonsense. Forget it, forget it. Nobody listens to them anyway, right? Do you know how to collect property tax in America? The most honest and dedicated people were elected as real estate appraisers by residents. Generally, two strangers come to make an assessment, measure the area of the house, register the number of houses, including how many bathrooms there are, and so on. Then after registration, two people make an evaluation respectively, and then all of them are published online. Residents can find all the information. If you think it is too high, you can ask a commentator to make a theory, and the commentator will introduce the evaluation method in detail. For example, the size and year, as well as the structure, the builder, and the transaction price of similar houses. If people are still dissatisfied, they can appeal to the National Evaluation Committee. Can this be done in China? Who will evaluate it in China? It must be another government official. This only increases the chances of corruption for no reason. In order to make his evaluation lower, did giving him some money give him a chance to be corrupt? And even if the American system was introduced, two people were found to evaluate it together. I believe that after the evaluation, the two people began to collude. If we ordinary people are not satisfied with the assessment, how can we appeal? Do you want to go to the petition office again? There are too many complaints from the petition office. Is it possible to arrest you and beat you up? Of course it's possible. Do some local governments stop doing such bad things? In such an environment, how to evaluate real estate fairly and transparently? What if we can't assess how to collect taxes? And what will the government do with the money after collecting taxes? Finally, it is a foolish account, which is used for public funds to eat and drink, travel abroad and corruption. I asked the people, are you willing to pay? After listening to my words here, readers should understand that China does not yet have the conditions for levying property tax. Why? Because we simply don't have a fair and transparent evaluation mechanism. As long as you find an official to evaluate it, it will be corrupt immediately. We don't even have a chance to complain unless you are not afraid of being beaten. In recent years, national policies have repeatedly made heavy punches, but why can't they do anything about high housing prices? The process of rising house prices in recent years can be described as "volcanic eruption". At present, there is a serious real estate bubble in China. The fundamental reasons are: putting the cart before the horse in the development ratio of affordable housing and commercial housing, the market is basically monopolized by commercial housing, and social capital invests in the property market, which is expected to appreciate, thus pushing up housing prices. If these problems cannot be solved well, house prices will remain high, or inflation will be triggered, and more serious problems may arise. The relevant policies have never seen the root cause of economic development clearly, but adopted the method of "treating the headache and treating the foot pain". Local governments should not simply compete to lower the efficiency of housing prices. For example, in 2007, the property market overheated and the government tightened monetary policy, which led to a sharp drop in the transaction volume of the property market; The economic crisis has come, affecting economic growth, which is too loose for the property market. "Since 2003, there have been two abnormal structures in China property market. The first is the monopoly of real estate developers and local governments, and the second is the high proportion of commercial housing. " Lang Xianping said that at present, most people in China can only buy houses from developers, and developers and the government hold the pricing power of real estate. On the other hand, compared with many countries and regions in the world, China's affordable housing and low-rent housing policies are not perfect, and most of them are commercial housing. These two aspects are tantamount to inserting two "pipes" in the crater, accelerating the process of volcanic eruption. At present, the so-called property tax and other policies can not fundamentally solve the problem of high housing prices. "
