Chapter 20: Taxation

"Well, gentlemen, congratulations, you've got a job." After a look at it, Jiang Hai hesitated for a moment, nodded to the few people in front of him, and officially accepted these people as his employees.

When they heard Jiang Hai's words, these people obviously had a hint of joy on their faces, and they didn't expect to find a job so quickly, and then they simply set their wages first.

Because Jiang Hai set a salary of 800 US dollars a week for Robbins Garcia, he did not set them too low.

Burke Dahler's salary is 750 US dollars per month, Philippe Turner is also 750 US dollars, Harriman Firth is 700 US dollars a week, and Bell Lester is the same, but this is only a dead salary, if it is profitable or something, there will naturally be bonuses, and after ordering these money, Jiang Hai and others are also relieved.

The first wave of people has been recruited, and if you want to go to the winemaker and crew, you won't find it here.

According to the words of Philemon Turner, who used to be a sailor, if you want to find a crew, you have to go to another bar, Winthrop is a real seaside town, looking for cowboys here, only cowboy songs can be found, but it is much easier to find seamen, after everything is negotiated, the two get on Robbins's old pickup truck, and head towards Jiang Hai's estate.

"Shhhh Sitting in the car, looking at the scene of continuous regression, Jiang Hai whispered, but after listening to his words, Robbins Garcia laughed here.

"Hey, boss, what you think is too simple, now it's just to find all the people, and then we have to buy cattle, oh, by the way, if the boss wants to raise so many cattle, he also needs a lot of cattle dogs, which we also need to buy, and the car for pulling cattle, we can't always use rent, the amount we need is too big, and the lawn mower, and the machine to clean the cowshed, huh, I haven't raised cattle for a long time, now I think about it, it's really troublesome." There are so many troubles just to raise cattle, and when it comes time to raise fish, it will be even more troublesome, but in Jiang Hai's opinion, it is actually much easier to raise fish.

Because of his blood, he only needed to dilute it and sprinkle it at the water's edge, and he believed that it was impossible for those fry and the like to escape, and it was very likely that they would attract other big fish, but he couldn't say that.

As for the issue of raising cattle, he also thought about it, directly feed the cattle and drink their own blood? He's not that perverted.

But if the diluted blood is put on the grass, after those cows have eaten the grass, the effect will be discounted, but it is estimated that it will not be good, but it is estimated that this time they will bleed again, but fortunately, it is replenished here quickly, a drop of blood, you can recover in a day, so that you will not be particularly distressed.

"Do you still want to buy a dog? What dog to buy? Retracting his thoughts for the time being, Jiang Hai asked Robbins.

"Oh, that's fine, then!" Hearing Jiang Hai's question, Robbins said with a smile.

Cattle dogs are similar to sheepdogs, but they are a little different, because cattle are not the same as sheep, although the character is the same and gentle, but the strength of the cow is too great, and the vice has a certain aggression, so the cattle dog, can only choose smart large dogs.

At present, there are basically four breeds of cattle dogs selected by cattle breeders, Australian Cattle Dogs, Belgian Cattle Dogs, Apen Cattle Dogs, and German Cattle Dogs, among which German Cattle Dogs are improved German Shepherds.

As for the German herd, it is the legendary black-backed, and the selection of cattle dogs is mainly to choose those who are smart and powerful.

Someone said, to be smarter, these dogs can't compare to Su Mu, but Su Mujin is too small, more than strength, those Caucasus, Doberman and other large dogs, stronger, but these dogs are too stupid, but for Jiang Hai, this is not necessarily, after all, he has the ability to improve the IQ of these dogs, but he didn't tell others.

In addition to dogs, according to Robbins, the second thing is to buy a flatbed, the so-called flatbed, not the kind of hand-pushed, but the kind of flatbed that hangs on the back of the pickup truck to pull the cow, for which you also need a large pickup, the more horsepower, the better.

You also need a machine to clean the cowshed, you can imagine that if Jiang Hai wants to buy cows, even if it is 20,000 heads, how much will have to pull in a day? If it is a few hundred, thousands, it can be solved manually, but how to solve it with 20,000 heads? It is not easy to use people to get it in a few days, so you need a machine to clean these things, and clean it during the day when the cattle are released, and before the cattle come back at night, it must be cleaned well, which is really not an easy task.

Thinking about what he still has to do, Jiang Hai has a little headache, he is very lazy, and he is very afraid of trouble, but it seems that he has found a ** trouble for himself and cleaned up his mood, after all, the money has been spent, and he is not ready to sell here, then he can accept such an idea, and after sorting out his mood, Jiang Hai suddenly remembered what Robbins said when he came over.

"By the way, Robbins, you said when you came, I still need to file my taxes? What taxes to file? I didn't make any money. Looking at Robbins, Jiang Hai asked a little strangely, hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins was stunned for a moment, and then explained.

In fact, when I was in China, no matter what forum or what website it was, there was always some beauty blowing, or European blowing, saying every day that the living environment of the American imperialists is good, the air is good, the food is good, the living environment is good, the sleep is good, the work is good, the income is more, etc., etc., etc., it is like a paradise here, but in fact, there is a little benefit in China, which is completely incomparable here.

That is the policy of taxation, pay taxes in the country, to be honest, there are very few people who know to pay taxes, the highest personal income tax in the country, it is only 20 percent, it seems to be a lot, one-fifth to the country, but compared with the United States imperialism and Europe, it is far worse, Jiang Hai did not come before, he did not know, but now he came, when he applied for a green card, he also learned some taxes.

For example, federal taxes and state taxes, Massachusetts' state tax is relatively low in the United States, even if Jiang Hai's ranch profits have reached the highest line, it is only a 5% tax rate, but the federal tax is high.

Even if it is calculated according to the subsidy, he has a maximum of 39.6 percent, and after deducting the subsidy, there is still about 35 percent left, which means that 40 percent of the money he earns every year will be handed over to the US imperialists.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay 6.2 percent of the social security fund, that is, the retirement pension, which is also called social security money in China.

There is also 1.45% of the medical insurance money, of course, this is also to be divided, and the specific Jiang Hai is not too clear, but he knows that half of the money he earns every year cannot reach his pocket, so he can only do this.

But now the question is, what if he hasn't made money yet? What does he pay? As it turned out, he was too naïve.

In the United States, everything costs money, every breath of air you breathe, it costs money, and it really costs money to die.

Jiang Hai bought the land, you have to pay real estate tax every year, this is whether you make money or not, and Jiang Hai occupies a huge territory, to pay the highest grade, 3.6% of the property tax, of course, most of it is grassland and fishing grounds, but this is also to pay taxes, to balance, almost every year he has to pay 1.2% of the use tax of this land.

The price of this piece of land is 280 million US dollars, if nothing else, just pay the use tax of this land, it is 3.36 million per year, which is not counting the medical insurance, in case you get married and have children, the education funds are also outrageously expensive, after all, the schools here are divided into public and private.

But public schools are really bad, but private schools are much better, but the price is also much better.

"I'm dripping!" Hearing Robbins's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but rub his temples, he felt that his head was about to blow up, why was there so much going on? When I used to read novels, I didn't say that there were so many things on the side of the US imperialists?

He felt as if he had been deceived by someone else, and he thought of everything too beautifully.

"If I knew this, I might as well go and buy a piece of woodland and drill into the mountains." Muttering in a low voice, Jiang Hai said helplessly, he used Chinese when he said this, so Robbins didn't understand.

However, he could see that Jiang Hai's current mood didn't seem to be too good, so he consciously closed his mouth.

According to the news released by the United States in 2011, the family income in the middle of the American imperialists is about 50,000 US dollars a year, if this is the case, they have a small villa on the outskirts of the city, husband and wife, with two children, a dog, plus two cars to calculate, 50,000 US dollars, after paying taxes, they may only be able to receive subsidies to live, not to mention the US imperialists, even if it is in China, 50,000 soft girl coins a year, if you live alone, it will live very chic, But if the family lives, hehe, if the children still have to go to school? Hehehe...... If there are still old people to raise, hey......

After Jiang Hai returned home, he did not sleep directly, but after taking a shower, he opened the laptop he specially brought from China, it is cheaper to buy a notebook abroad, and the performance is better, but the problem is that there is no Chinese operating system, he can't understand, just this time back to China, he brought it by the way, computer, mobile phone, all matching, hit a computer, he carefully calculated the money he still has now.

Robbins didn't know how much money Jiang Hai had now, in fact, only Jiang Hai knew how much money he had.

The stones sold for a total of 332 million dollars, and it cost 280 million to buy the estate.

There are still 52 million US dollars left, and the two million US dollars are spent to decorate the house, plus shopping things, returning to China, etc.
