Chapter Seventy-One: Albert's Plan
It will be very difficult for the government to introduce a vacancy tax, especially if the person who proposes a bill to collect a vacancy tax will become the target of public criticism, and a political veteran like Albert will not propose this bill.
For Hitler, he was not afraid of the capitalists at all, anyway, it was a big deal for the outflow of funds abroad, and his own enterprises encountered economic blockades, he was not afraid, the only thing he was afraid of was the collapse of the middle class in Germany, the collapse of the middle class was undoubtedly terrible, although after the armistice, the economy was downturned, and the middle class was greatly reduced, but in any case, the middle class is the lifeblood of a country, as long as the middle class still has a certain number, the vitality of the country can still be preserved, if the middle class is greatly reduced, or even not, If wealth is polarized, then Germany will never rise again.
In this era of economic collapse, there are many middle classes that rely on collecting rent and buying houses to make ends meet, if the housing vacancy tax is introduced, housing prices drop sharply, and many middle class people who rely on houses to eat will have nothing to eat, which is to help many poor people, but correspondingly many middle class will go bankrupt, and the consequences are unpredictable.
In Albert's study, Hitler sat on the sofa and pondered, outside the window, the gentle wind blowing, the green leaves in the sun were more crisp, the children were chasing dragonflies in the fields barefoot, and some children went to the hillside to steal fruit, but were chased by bees.
My head is much clearer.
Since the adverse consequences of the introduction of a vacancy tax are so great, why did Albert suggest that there is such a policy?
Looking at Albert's strategizing look, Hitler had a bottom in his heart.
This old fox must have his political agenda.
Sure enough, Albert said unhappily: "Whether it is a person in the world or a politician, it is very important to grasp a good degree, the housing vacancy tax, the personal multi-house tax, as long as it is dealt with well, will not let the middle class go bankrupt." ”
"What's the solution?" Hitler actually had some thoughts.
Albert accentuated his voice and said: "When the national crisis is at hand, some people do not want to unite, they will only speculate and earn the people's hard-earned money, and it is not an exaggeration to shoot these bloodsuckers." If we move these people, our economy may suffer, but I don't need a false economic boom, but I need the people to get tangible benefits. ”
When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed.
Hitler understood what he was thinking, and it seems that Albert was trying to knock out some people.
In this era when the economy is on the verge of collapse, there are many businessmen who take risks and collude with corrupt officials, exploit loopholes and speculate on houses, and some have hundreds of properties.
"Bringing down the minority and uniting the majority is also a political idea." Albert stretched: "I want to bring down some capitalists who are unkind to the rich." ”
Hitler pondered and said: "So, without affecting the middle class, we have to lower the tax on vacancy houses, and at the same time raise the tax on individual houses in order to bring down the capitalists." ”
"Correct." Albert smiled: "We can't collect taxes too high, otherwise it won't affect the lives of the middle class." We are targeting capitalists who own multiple properties, and the more properties they own, the more taxes they will collect, and if they are vacant, the more taxes they will collect. The pillar industry of our country is not real estate, so even if real estate falls sharply, the impact on the national economy will not be great, and strive to achieve one person and one property, and everyone has a house to live in. ”
Hitler frowned again and said: "But some middle class people rely on the money of rental houses to get by, and the rent has fallen, and there is a personal multi-house tax, will this not affect the middle class?" ”
Albert shook his head and said: "It will not affect the middle class, vacant and having more than three houses will be taxed, we are mainly targeting those who have more than a dozen houses, as for the rent falling - this is also a helpless thing." ”
Sounds good, but will there be any loopholes?
It doesn't matter if there are loopholes, they can be sewn up, so will there be traps?
Albert has actually met Hitler a few times, although the desire of both of them is to hope that Germany will become strong, which can be described as "like-minded", but the words of politicians cannot be believed, politics is dangerous, and if you take a wrong step, you will never get up again, in case there is a trap in it, Hitler will go in, and Albert will sell his teammates again, and then there will be no disaster.
Albert, could it be that he dug a hole for Hitler to jump?
Recall the information of the investigation of Albert by the Security Bureau: born in Heidelberg, he was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, the secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the German Social Democratic Party, believed in trade unionism, and had little interest in Marx's theory of ideology, form, and form, but paid more attention to the improvement of the practical life of the workers, as well as the improvement of their social status and moral concepts.
Albert was a moderate leader of the Social Democratic Party who devoted his life to practical work, fighting for women's suffrage and education for the common people.
Judging by the information of the Security Service, Albert was not a conspirator.
It seems that at least for now, the two are on the same front.
"You will be the vanguard of this reform." Albert's eyes were like torches.
Pioneer?
It's worth savoring.
It seems that Albert wants to push himself to the table, and he is the one who has been shot, he has such a large enterprise, which can deal with domestic capitalists and collect property, and at the same time, he is also a soldier, if Albert can get the support of the army, then even if these capitalists want to rebel, they will not have the strength, and the worst result is only to give up speculation in real estate, invest in other industries, or turn into cash, and flee abroad with money.
"You used to be a member of the Security Service, and recently the cooperation between the Security Service and the Military Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the General Police Department has been increasing, and there is a tendency to merge, and your friend Walter is also becoming more and more powerful, so you can ask him to help us, spy on the rich and unscrupulous businessmen, and they have fled abroad with their money." Albert sneered, it seems that he doesn't want to give some capitalists a chance, either go bankrupt and be caught, or change careers.
"Okay, I'll contact him." Hitler decided to go all out with Albert.
Albert said to himself: "I was born in 1871, the same year that Germany was founded, and I am the son of Germany. I still remember the suspicion of foreigners about our German products as a teenager, and I can recall the disdain in our faces when we sold them our country's fine and durable goods. But in only twenty or thirty years, we relied on attentive goods and industrious people to defeat Britain economically and become second only to the United States. It is based on real commodities, not false economic data, and the common prosperity of all Germans, not on a few monopoly industries that eat the people's hard-earned money. ”
Hitler listened to Albert's words and deeply believed that Germany could become strong not by its pillar industries, but by quality, and that everything produced by the Germans had strict quality, and the bridges of the Germans, the ships of the Germans, the guns of the Germans, and the cars of the Germans were all synonymous with quality.
Finally, Albert smiled maliciously: "Hitler, would you like to be mayor?" ”
