Section 762 Bus Crossing No. 7
Rolling her cute eyes, Ding Jiaqi took the water cup and drank it in one gulp.
Looking at her boyfriend's eyes, Ding Jiaqi asked a little tiredly, "Can you take Zhang Yi for a while, I'll be a little busy." ”
"Of course," Zhang Jing readily agreed, "I'll take Zhang Yi to Los Angeles first and hand it over to Silan to take care of;
Lindsay sent a message in the morning saying that there was something going on and that I was going to Houston once. ”
Ding Jiaqi nodded, she knew that Lindsay was competing in a racing race in Houston while competing in a Texas Hold'em tournament.
Turned around and found Zhang Yi's passport from the bedroom and handed it to her boyfriend.
Bidding farewell to the busy main palace, Zhang Jing took his eldest son on a long-distance flight.
The plane landed once in Tokyo and stopped for three hours.
There were 6 seats in the first class, and there were originally only Zhang Jing and his son, and they were all full after the transfer.
There are five people in total, one of whom Zhang Jing knows, Li Maitian, whom Huang Yang met at his birthday party.
He is about 21 or 22 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with long black hair and black-rimmed glasses.
Dressed in a gray T-shirt and black canvas trousers, he looked cool.
Obviously, she and the other four people are friends, and most of them are bohemian and fun-loving.
Seeing Zhang Jing, Li Maitian's originally smiling face was stunned twice in a row.
was stunned and unexpectedly met Zhang Jing.
Second stunned, why is there a baby in Zhang Jing's arms?
At this moment, Li Maitian's mind was full of paste.
For a moment, Li Maitian thought that he had recognized the wrong person, but Zhang Jing was too easy to identify, with lines on his face, a little handsome, and his eyes were relatively calm.
As if nothing had happened to sit down next to Zhang Jing, Li Maitian decided not to speak until he figured out the situation.
"Hello," Li Maitian had just sat down, and a young man with dyed blonde hair and extremely fair skin asked Zhang Jing in English, "Can I switch places with you?" ”
Zhang Jing did not refuse, it was convenient for others and himself.
Unbuckle your seatbelt, hold your son, and sit on the other side of the aisle.
It's boring to fly, but it's still fun to have a lot of people.
And this group of people is very good at chatting and has a wide range of topics.
Sitting next to Li Maitian, the young man with dyed blond hair complained in English, "I was in the casino before, and a foreigner asked me, 'Is the 5,000-year-old history of your great country true?' ’”
"What do you say?" Li Maitian asked his friend rhetorically.
The dyed blonde youth shook his head slightly, "I didn't speak English well at the time, and I was worried about being discriminated against, so I didn't speak. ”
Li Maitian understands that although he always talks about tolerance, in fact, some white people are very good at discriminating against foreigners who do not speak English.
"I don't understand," a girl sitting in the front row of Li Maitian joined the chat, "the big and small officials, teachers and professors, and rich people in big countries are desperately sending their children to study abroad, and they hold power in their hands, why don't they also make English the official language?" ”
Zhang Jing was slightly stunned next to him, and looked at the short-haired girl who spoke, she was a traitor!
Without waiting for Zhang Jing to say anything, sitting next to Li Maitian, the young man with dyed blonde hair retorted:
"Tao Qian, I suggest you go to Hangzhou once, get out of the high-speed rail station and take the 'No. 7 bus - Lingyin direction';
Take 9 stops, get off at the 'Yue Tomb' station, spend 60 yuan to buy a ticket, and go in to find the Yue Wang Tomb;
Qin Hui and his wife kneeling in front of the tomb, you ask them to move a place for you, and you kneel among them. ”
The short-haired girl named Tao Qian in the front row was slightly stunned, and the next second she got up from her seat, looked back at the dyed blonde young man behind her, and was furious, "Hu Lei, are you sick in the brain!" ”
"You're sick," the blonde young man named Hu Lei retorted, "5,000 years after a great country, how could it be possible to make English the official language." ”
"Am I not right," Tao Qian retorted, "since they all send their children out, why can't English become the official language?" ”
"Hehe," Hu Lei retorted, "You have the ability to tell Westerners and let them make Mandarin their official language to see if you will be sprayed to death." ”
Tao Qian looked at Li Maitian and asked angrily, "Tian Tian, who are you helping?" ”
"No one will help," Li Maitian didn't want to quarrel, "you continue to quarrel and let others see the joke." ”
There was no one else at the scene, and the 'others' referred to Zhang Jing.
Holding the baby in his arms, Zhang Jing said in Mandarin, "You go on, I don't understand English." ”
The group of five people had black lines on their heads, and they quarreled and spoke English, but Zhang Jing was able to pick it up immediately.
Tao Qian couldn't care so much, looked at Li Maitian and asked, "Tian Tian, you are often cyberbullied in a big country, don't you think it's too much?" Not angry? ”
"What is there to be angry about?" Li Maitian saw it clearly, "It is not limited to Xie Jiang, a ski champion, they were cyberbullied in big countries, and they were also cyberbullied in Citigroup, and they also received a lot of death threat letters;
At least I didn't get threatened with death in a big country. ”
"Yes," the fourth person in the same group interjected, "I am afraid of comparison in everything, and nothing else, at least in terms of life security, the big countries are better than the West; m.
I've lost my watch and my phone in Rome;
The streets and alleys of Paris smell of urine, which the big countries don't have. ”
"Yes," the fifth person in the group joined in, "and I was robbed in New York as well." ”
"Who told you to go to poor places," Tao Qian was still retorting, "Why do you want to contact those ordinary people?" ”
The more the discussion between the five of them became, the more intense it became.
This is a good thing for Zhang Jing, it is too boring on the plane, and it is much more interesting to listen to them chat.
These include color discrimination, cognitive tearing, health care, education, property taxes, and more.
Listening to their chat, Zhang Jing found a problem that he had always seen but never paid attention to.
Property tax.
Originally, I thought it was a pooled tax, at least the federal yamen would take some of it, and I heard them chat before I knew that the property tax was pure - local tax.
That is, a town collects and a town uses; Collected by town B, used by town B.
The yamen used it to maintain expenditures on fire protection, education, medical care, public facilities and welfare.
Bizarrely, Zhang Jing heard for the first time that a low property tax rate is a bad thing.
Tao Qian said that she supports high tax rates.
High taxes mean sufficient police force, good community environment, high-quality education, and complete public facilities.
And a good environment means that the next generation will most likely be good.
But Hu Lei, who had dyed blonde hair, was not easy to fool and immediately refuted.
Good for the rich, bad for the middle and low classes, so the middle class community and the African community are born.
Over time, property taxes have divided communities, cities, and even state capitals and races.
No one wants a 1-meter house in the Rust Zone, not only does it have no job, but it will also lose money and life if it stays for a long time.
Even Wo Mouma, like a snot, has to move out of the supermarket in Chicago, the Rust Belt.
In the end, Hu Lei suggested that the local real estate tax should be changed to a 'pooled tax', which should be used equally across the country.
As a result, Tao Qian immediately exploded, "Why should I pay taxes to raise non-animals?" ”
"I don't approve either," Li Maitian, who has always been neutral, disagrees, "You have to pay profit tax to start a company, you have to pay fuel tax for refueling, and you have to pay consumption tax for buying clothes, these are not overall taxes;
Property tax should not be used evenly, and eating a big pot of rice will make everyone lose their upward momentum. ”
The five of them were very good at arguing, and no one could convince each other, so they all looked at Zhang Jing.
Some people died, but not completely......
