I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 126 Weird Taxes and Shows

To be honest, as an ignorant Oriental, I have never heard that after a major disaster, the authorities would consider whether to impose a rain tax?
Shouldn’t the various economic burdens on the local area be reduced after a major disaster?
Moreover, according to that believer, the rain tax is just one of the considerations, and even the single tax, sunshine tax, and window tax have been included in the proposal.

However, although many people received loans of more than 700 US dollars from the state government when they suffered huge losses in the recent hurricane disaster, this thing is not durable!

What can you do with more than 700 US dollars?
Therefore, the local people discussed with each other and believed that this was a deliberate proposal made by the capitalists to seize their only houses and lands.

As long as these proposals are passed in the state legislature, the bigwigs above can take over the houses and land under their names.

After all, many people haven't recovered yet and haven't even found a job.

Where are the jobs after a disaster?

That is to say, if they cannot pay taxes or repay their loans, and some of them still have mortgages, their houses or land will be auctioned.

Especially those who own large amounts of land cannot resume production, and the annual land tax is quite high, which they cannot afford.

The final result will definitely be taken away and auctioned!

Now, many people, with no income, have planned to sell their houses and land, leave their homes and develop elsewhere.

This believer asked whether there is a good working environment in Los Angeles and the cost of living.

After all, they are now considered to be poor and destitute.

Even if you sell the house and land.

Because it was after a disaster, and they were forced to do so, and a large number of people were selling their houses and land, which led to the capitalists who were well prepared to desperately lower the prices.

It’s not okay not to sell it, otherwise the price will start to drop!

So in fact, the believers who called to inquire about the situation did not have much money, so they first found a trustworthy person to inquire about the situation, and then set off when they were sure.

Otherwise, if Maomaoran came here and couldn't find a job, and spent all his money, he would be in hell once he started wandering.

In America, once you start wandering, there is a 99.9999% chance that you will never be able to turn things around.

So, in fact, the phone call made by the believers is to cast a wide net.

He must have made a lot of phone calls, asking friends and relatives if they had any job introductions.

Chen Yaozu glanced at the construction site outside, which was originally prepared for believers, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a construction site here, and I plan to build a factory.

After the factory is completed, it will be able to provide 200 jobs.

This is why I made this preparation when I guessed that your future was not good when I went to your place to provide disaster relief!
As long as you are my believer, I will try my best to give you a job opportunity, but so far, I can only guarantee 200 positions based on my ability.

If there are too many, there may be nothing we can do!

You organize it, as long as there are believers willing to come, I can provide 3500 jobs with a salary of before tax."

The believer hung up the phone with many thanks and went to look for someone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yaozu turned on his computer and went online to start looking for what kind of outrageous taxes America had. He wanted to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, after checking it out, I found that this world is completely crazy.

Can you imagine?

Do I need to pay separate taxes when selling belt buckles?

However, this is just a weird rule in Texas, not in all states.

There, a belt buckle sold alone is considered an accessory and is subject to accessory sales tax, while a belt buckle sold with the belt is not subject to the tax.

This is understandable, but there are many taxes that come next that surprise him.

Maine Wild Blueberry Tax: Maine imposes a 1.5 cent per pound tax on wild blueberries that are processed in the state or shipped out of the state.
New York Sliced ​​Bagel Tax: In New York State, unsliced ​​bagels are a tax-free grocery item, but sliced ​​bagels are subject to an 8% sales tax.
Well, I don’t buy belt buckles and I don’t sell belt buckles, and I don’t buy blueberries and I don’t sell blueberries.

I won't eat bagels, okay?
Do you enjoy the scenery?

If you want to see the scenery, you have to pay taxes!
What? You don’t want to see the scenery, but you still have to pay taxes!
Yes, we are talking about the California scenic tax!
The coastal town of Waimi, California, stipulates that residents who live on the seaside and whose homes face the coast and overlook the beach and sea must pay a scenic tax of US$66 to US$184 per household each year.

I haven't found out whether it is paid monthly or annually.

In theory, this is within a reasonable range, after all, they are providing a service!

But do I have to pay taxes for sewing clothes?

Your clothes are torn. Can I mend them and wear them again?

That won’t work either, then you have to pay taxes!

This is the Minnesota clothing repair tax!

In Minnesota, shoe repairs are tax-free, but clothing repairs are subject to sales tax.

So if you don’t want to pay taxes, buy new clothes and don’t think about mending them for another three years!
If you want to avoid the above taxes, you can still avoid them.

Let’s talk about a tax that cannot be avoided.

Everyone has to pay unless you don’t go to the toilet!

This strange tax is the Maryland toilet flushing tax.

It is said that in order to protect the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland requires each person to pay a $5 toilet flushing tax per month.

If a family of 10 has 50 dollars per month, that's 600 dollars per year.

Hiss... Flushing the toilet is so expensive?
Chen Yaozu smacked his lips!

It’s much more expensive than using public toilets in the East 20 years ago, when each toilet cost 5 cents!
Do you think this is over?
Chen Yaozu scrolled down the mouse and could still see a long list of all kinds of taxes!
Even animal breeding is taxed!
Kentucky stud fee tax: Kentucky imposes a 6% tax on purebred horse stud fees, even if artificial insemination is used. You have to pay it!
It is said that there are still many states that require single tax!
However, it is different from the ancient times in the East. In ancient times, women who did not get married when they reached the trial marriage age had to pay taxes.

In many states in America, men who reach the age of marriage but do not get married have to pay taxes every year, and the taxes are quite high.

I heard that it was to protect women!
So that they would not be without family protection and have a hard life.

However, this also leads to the fact that men in these states usually leave the state and live in other states if they do not want to bear the single tax.

Moreover, he found out that a tax has only appeared in recent years and is common in many states. What is it called, the Diversity or Choice Tax?
Is it a tax to support LGBT?

To be honest, Chen Yaozu felt that his eyes had been opened!

And was greatly shocked!

The people of America are really patient!
If these messy taxes were sent to the East, what kind of criticism would they receive?

With so many exorbitant taxes, I’m afraid we’ll have to bury stone men in the Yellow River!

hiss……

Burying stone men in the Yellow River?
There is no Yellow River in North America, but if there is no Yellow River, there can be the Mississippi River!
Don’t say that the stone man has only one eye, and he is trying to incite the whole world to rebel along the Mississippi River?
hiss……

Chen Yaozu suddenly realized that this thought was a bit too much, a bit too much!
After looking at the sky, he turned off the computer, walked out of the Ming Dynasty Xuanwei Office, got in the car and left.

After all, he still lives in his own teachers' dormitory and he hasn't resigned yet!
After the car left, the open wooden door of the deserted Ming Xuanweisi Yamen slowly closed, and then with a click, the gate was closed and bolted.

The sky was getting dark. There was no moon tonight and it was quite cool at night. There were not many people on the road.

But suddenly a convoy arrived.

A pickup truck led the way, followed by a truck with a simple crane and an ordinary truck, heading straight for the unfinished construction site.

In the lead pickup truck were two Mexicans.

It was obvious that these were not dishwashers. Judging from the wild looks on their faces, they must be street vendors.

"Reese, are you sure there's no one guarding you?"

“Relax, Mauve.

I came here twice a few nights ago, and there was no one guarding this construction site at night!
Moreover, according to my observation, no work has started at this construction site today.

So there will be no one on the construction site!

I assure you, this is a large industrial site with a considerable amount of building materials.

There are piles of steel bars and cement.

A large number of machines imported from the East have arrived in advance and are now stored in a simple, hastily built warehouse.

This is all money!
Moreover, I checked the brands and prices of these machines online.

This is enough to build several production lines of Oriental feed machines, which could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! "

When Mo Fu heard this, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and the slight uneasiness that appeared in his heart was suppressed by the greed.

Looking closer and closer, the construction site was dark and gloomy.

He picked up a short, lightweight submachine gun from under the seat, checked the magazine, and loaded it.

As Reese drove, he pointed to an oriental building not far from the construction site that looked quite large in the darkness.

"The owner of this industrial base is a wealthy man from the East. He just built a manor here. I heard that he spent a lot of money on it!

I watched it with a drone just now when he left.

There is no one living there yet, so there is nothing valuable there, and it cannot compare to the warehouse on the construction site.

When they move in, there should be a lot of valuables inside!"

Mo Fu looked over and saw that the oriental building was completely dark without any light.

He inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart, turned his head away, and felt much better immediately.

There was indeed no one guarding the construction site. They had two trucks parked at the intersection, and their pickup trucks turned off the lights and drove around to make sure there was no one there.

Even Moff, who was feeling nervous just now, asked Reese to park the pickup truck next to the wall of the oriental building. He climbed over the wall on the pickup truck and took a look inside. There was indeed no one there.

Only then did he feel at ease and called two trucks to the simple warehouse where hundreds of thousands of machinery and equipment were stored on the construction site.

Six people got off the two trucks at the back. They were all Mexicans and had guns.

The oldest one looked very alert. He carefully confirmed the surrounding environment again before standing at the outermost edge waiting for his companions to cut open the warehouse door.

When the door of the warehouse opened, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the machine inside was exactly the same as the one his companions had taken a picture of with their mobile phone and compared the selling price online.

However, the experienced Mexican was somewhat puzzled as to why the Oriental owner of the factory under construction placed machines worth tens of millions of dollars here without any guards?

Is this reasonable?

Is it that Oriental people are stupid and have a lot of money?

But no matter whether it is reasonable or not, cranes and trucks come in and quickly lift the machines that they value and are very valuable onto the trucks.

They work very quickly, so they must be very experienced and specialize in this field.

The whole process took less than 20 minutes, and all the machines they liked were already on the vehicle.

Then the cars started and several cars drove out together, but something felt wrong as they drove.

They had been walking for more than ten minutes and had not yet left the construction site.

……

And now, Chen Yaozu is watching the show!

However, it is not about watching a drama at a construction site, but about watching an oriental woman teasing a group of men in a bar.

The woman, with a curious look on her face, was looking at the dancers on the stage, whose clothes were being taken off piece by piece, and the fanatical men below, and was about to blow a breath to drive them crazy.

But when he raised his eyes, his gaze met Chen Yaozu's...
