Do you have small incomes? No problems! The minimum pension, in order not to die, will be. Declare from real incomes, which you know – the pension is going up. It is possible, as is customary in the United States, to give money to non-state PFs, but we, with all the will, are unlikely to spread it.
An increase in pensions, the opening of a second youth, is an important incentive for a proper income declaration. But, the main thing is to feel like an honest citizen, tracking, among other things, the financial flows of the state itself.
The third reason is the presence of harsh but fair tax inspectors, and their voluntary assistants. Expenses – heaped up machines, houses, yachts, other attributes of status, must correspond to the figures of the Tax Declaration.
– The denunciation?!
– Someone so has thought up, that if the neighbor is a dark person, you need to be silent in a rag. I will say for sure, criminals, slippery persons who invented a “vow of silence”, if it is profitable for them, will surrender you, without a moment’s hesitation.
Those who live in palaces – we are not friends. For them we are working ants. In principle, they are not against our existence. The main thing is that they do not get in the way. But – such a status quo … let’s say it is not in God.
In America, businessmen share the history of their ascent. It is customary to be “kleve” – “transparent.” “Now, look, I’m good.” “Our”, although they achieve a high level of well-being, do not want to be “their own”, to share their emotions and knowledge.
You can betray only friends, you know? Enemies – to expose. Let the workers collect data on shikuyuschih customers and transfer to government bodies. The income data should be freely available. Find the name of the customer in the list, see what his income is, send a message, attaching a photo of the palace, and track the reaction.
– Not bad, if the perimeter of a smart cottage village is surrounded by submachine gunners, an APC will roll into the courtyard, groups of harsh, fair workers will approach the gate. “So. We came. Tell me, where are the money? Is it not from our pocket? Look in the eye!”.
“I do not want the income of people in the palaces to check the herd.” I said “herd?”. Yes. If the workers see that a person starts to stand out sharply from their environment, they try to “punish” him, and return them to their place.
– On the tax inspectors in America, they form legends. There is a colorful character who speaks freely and with beggars and financial tycoons, like the notorious Lieutenant Colombo.
We do not have an image of a noble tax collector. Now the tax – the inhabitants of stuffy offices, sullen personalities, punching out money from businessmen, even those who are still fragile, for the next Olympics.
The paper suffers. In it the palaces turn into huts, shopping centers become kiosks, and vice versa. Unfortunately, we are trusted in papers, not in the eyes, and there is no sense.
I already see a series on this topic. Why is this not on Russian television? Directors shout: “We want to show the truth, as it is!” – And where is it? Only “Gy-s”.
“But, after all, the palace can be issued for relatives!”
– Yes, even for your favorite dog! Then start up and income with taxes on it is written out. We still have to make taxes on business. How is this possible? The plant does not rest in the Hawaiian Islands, does not smoke “havana”, it lacks luxury villas. There is a turnover, supplies, the cost of depreciation, hundreds of items. Why are our not yet photogenic tax collectors so fond of delving into some sort of pipes with VAT on a refund of the tax, trace financial flows, streams and drops, spend a lot of time and energy!? At the same time, they are still disliked by all but well-off domestic ones. The output of cash flows is in the beneficiaries. There they must be caught!
– And, where will the professional accountants go? They and their families need food. Have you thought about this?
– As a result of the cessation of activity of these citizens, the level of production of goods and services will increase by an order of magnitude. The amount of tax collected will increase. Small business will rise, its share will rise from the current ten to seventy percent. The accountants will join the real production sphere, they will take the place of designers, programmers, etc.
– Indeed, this is what you need to do. But, from the head there is no declaration of income, according to our system. What if everyone writes underestimated figures? Then the economy will go down! Tax system – Freedom or slavery?
Think now! Vote! Pray!
Repeat more and more
And many more times …
The transition to a new system can be carried out gradually, starting with a small town, remote from industrial and financial centers. If the overall standard of living rises at times – you can continue.
Secondly, managers and so on all understate. The usual “white” salary, with rare exceptions, is ten or thirteen thousand rubles. Although, it is higher than the minimum payment several times. Tax specialists know this, but they are fools.
What is bad for employees and managers? While you are young and healthy, in general, nothing. Calculation of pensions is a very complicated matter. To the greatest extent, it depends on the length of service, not the amount of the fee. Theoretically, 55—75 percent of the “pay” for the last two years of work, or any five consecutive years of your work. I have not tested myself yet. In any case, the top officials of the state apparatus, taking into account the high electoral activity of pensioners, will try to keep the pension 0.7 per cent of the average salary in the country. This may not be entirely correct, but, humanly understandable. In the end, every second does not survive to retirement. Lack, nevertheless, exists, and as material goods are not issued from Mars, it is covered by the same business. He, in turn, is trying to reduce the “white” payments to an absolute minimum. At the last place of work, where I practiced as a master and, working around the clock, I received 60 thousand, the official salary was about 800 rubles. As if I came here on call, quickly fixed something, got money and left. Of course, this thing has, as they say, a high corruption component. From a really working enterprise, many “important” people are feeding, whose “salary” sometimes exceeds the amount of payments to all workers. The only thing I can see is the transition to a well-established US, very transparent and humane taxation system. Local officials and tax officials would be happy to prove that it is not functional in principle (because everything is too simple and pleasant, etc.), but, in fact, it works. Do you have small incomes? No problems! The minimum pension, in order not to die of hunger, will be. You declare more, namely, from real incomes, which you know yourself – the pension increases. You yourself have the incentive to live. By the way, for me personally, retirement is associated with something dark, muddy, too adult, which once seemed like the end of school or the achievement of forty years of age. I’m not the only one. Most men expect to finish their lives years to fifty-six, and do not flush for more. It is possible, as is customary in the United States, to give money to non-state pension funds, but we, with all the will, hardly ever will be distributed. Who remembers how many “First Pension Funds” appeared in the middle of the “nineties”? Where did they go? Where are their founders now? In Israel, Vorkuta, in Hawaii?
– The state apparatus is also not responsible to citizens. Remember the “Pavlovsky” reforms of 1991, when for three days fifty-ruble and hundreds of old-style banknotes for a thousand rubles were changed. Forgot? It seems like to leave with a nose those who have earned too much, therefore, it is dishonest. And, four months later, all prices rose three-fold. Grandmothers who kept their savings in chests, dowry to their beloved granddaughter, realizing what had happened, fell into complete prostration.
– History is very important, but, we will not be distracted. The increase in the size of the pension, the opening of some second youth, is an important incentive for the declaration of true incomes. But, the main thing is to feel like an honest taxpayer, a citizen who monitors the financial flows of the state. The third reason – the presence of wandering hungry wolves, tax inspectors. Their voluntary people’s assistants. Expenses – that is, all these heaped up machines, huge houses, yachts, other attributes of status, should correspond to incomes – that is, to the figures of your tax declaration.
– Do you offer a denunciation?!
– You know, the officers said in the Army to the young soldiers: “Why are you beaten like sheep, you are silent?” Someone just so invented that if a neighbor does dark things, you need to keep silent. I will say for sure, criminals, these nasty, slippery people who invented a “vow of silence”, if it is profitable for them, will surrender you, without a moment thinking about the rules. What was in the USSR-Russia of the thirties of the last century – the topic of a separate study. Mental epidemic. But, this is not a reason to remain silent in a rag, if your neighbor is a thief. … At two thousand and seven, maybe, a year worked in the village … either Beresta-2, or Korosta. Still, it’s good that I have a folder with “Reports on what is happening” for each month, if necessary, restore almost everything.
The village is located by the Moscow River, so that the domes of the Kremlin temples are clearly visible. Our object is the house of an official, deputy director of a state construction company. Surname … I’d like to say, but I do not remember exactly.
The number of workers is about fifty. Some of us, electricians – ten, or twelve. The houses, put one on another – ten. When I got to the building, the house was being prepared for surrender. Wine cellars, a huge swimming pool, halls, offices, again swimming pools, bathrooms and baths. You could walk around the village, see what, where and how. Locks as if from the fantasies of King Ludwig of Bavaria – in the style of Neuschwanstein; spiers, domes, attics, you see, yes? And in the English style there are buildings – Queen Elizabeth would not refuse to reside there. There are also houses “techno”, hung with parabolic antennas, a diameter of five meters, it is difficult to convey words. And, you come back from work – where?
Removable room. The hostess and girlfriend for the first three days ask “can I see the TV here”, then drop formalities, and switch to “you”. People living in the back room, small businessmen, ply through the room. One of the business people, seeing something on his TV, laughs like a woman, just like an agent “Zero-zero X” from a famous cartoon. In the evening the eight-year-old daughter of the mistress approaches:
– Mom asked me to tell you: did you wash your feet at night?
– Girl, well, you like that, I do not know what …
“She said you need to wash.” A few minutes later, I thought, I go to the bathroom. Hmm … A complete mess. Well, let him. I called home for about two months, you need to gain a foothold. The initial reception made a favorable impression. The woman wants to reform, after her quibbles, brought her husband to a sad end. Maybe today’s incident is an accident?
I put my feet under the tap. Again.
…-My daughter said you were unhappy yesterday? Unfortunately, we will not succeed. In a week you need to leave. I will return all the superfluous to you!
And – new wanderings. Those who live in palaces – we are not friends. For them, we are useful insects, working ants. No, they are not against our existence. The main thing is that we do not interfere with them. There is no sustained emotional contact with these people. They reached a high level of well-being, but they do not want to share their emotions and knowledge, as it actually happened.
In America there is the concept of “the path of success.” Businessmen share the history of their ascent, in the smallest detail. It is accepted to be “kleve” – “transparent”, without darkness inside. “Look, I’m good. Be like me, next to me, I’ll show it. “You can betray only friends, if you understand the meaning of this carelessly constructed phrase. If you tell an unpleasant truth about people with whom you are not related, or emotional ties, everything is fine, my friend. In courts, they are released from the certificate of relatives and spouses. But, an outsider, the law simply obliges to give evidence. It would be nice if the workers began to collect data about their customers who are too shiky and send them to the appropriate authorities. Data on the incomes of all citizens, without exception, should be freely available. You can find the name of the customer in the list, see what his annual income (say, one hundred thousand rubles) and – to give an application, attaching a photo of the palace to the file.
– But, after all, some criminals can find out how much money a person has, and, as you know, to extort them. Did you think about this? Yes, and it sounds all too unusual. We do not do that.
– On the amount of money your criminals can find out easier – see what kind of a car. A person living in a luxury house is guaranteed, a rich man. So what? Realizing this, they will go to storm the cottage village?
Yes, now it is our custom to remain silent. Or bleat, under vodka, in the cabins, about how it was and will be.
Actually, the idea is not bad. Not bad, if the perimeter of this Korosta is surrounded by submachine gunners, an APC will roll into the courtyard, groups of serious workers will approach the gate, they will call. What will they say? “So, hello. We came. Tell me, dandies, where does the money for this all come from? Is it not from our pocket? Look in the eyes!”. I wonder what they will answer us? Let’s talk about our workers. I was engaged in the completion of this house, a financially independent official. The former brigades were gone, they were paid too little, or something. …Wire protrudes from the walls. They were circumcised, maybe out of a sense of justice, or, most likely, to accelerate the pace of construction. The plasterers, who dreamed of going to the warmer regions, prevented them from “doing volume” and they were shortened. The former electricians were, as I understand, on the drum, they did not plan to finish what they started. Who will do what? “You call all these wires, will you repair it?” Other guys just do not take it” – “The task is complex, but feasible. “And so, I, with the device and the hank of a long wire, walk along the floors and the cellar, looking for the ends. I stand at the switchboard, I clean out hundreds of exits. The chief engineer approaches, sharply glitters glasses of glasses:
– There, in the basement, the workers said, you do nothing, only walk, and stand for hours, near the shield. Down below, people swallow the dust, smashing the walls with the perforators, and you’re cool?
– Yes, here everything is so messed up! Complex control circuits, relays, contactors. Here, notebook, here are all the schemes, look. In theory, the one who started the business should finish it. Where are your former employees? If there are willing to stand in my place, unravel it all, please. I’ll go to the basement. Have agreed? Will I send a replacement?
He is silent.
Thinks.
After dinner, as if there was not this conversation, comes up, babbles that “very slowly, and beneath the good workers about you say a lot of bad things about you.” I look at him – not a bad one, man. But, something is wrong. As well as with these sweaty employees. After all the agreement is reached, but, here, again all over again! It’s like a man became a zombie. Outside, everything was as it was. Inside is emptiness. And really want now to drive these glasses into the eye cavities. I had to leave. I wonder how they figured out the wires themselves? The last lesson with the disappeared specialists was not enough?.. That’s what I’m leading to. I do not want the income of people in palaces to check this herd. Wait. Did I say “herd?”. I agree, the word is not good, but so far it is pretty close to the real state of affairs. If the workers see that a person, at least a little, starts to stand out from their environment, they try to “punish” him and bring him back to his place. To avoid this, a spatial and psychological separation is required. But, one, or two people should be found who would lead the work of the Spies of Justice. On tax inspectors in America, legends have been composed since the time of Mark Twain. There is a colorful character, the hero of many stories, delving into all the events that occur, talking freely both with beggars and pompous financial aces. Just like Lieutenant Colombeau. Our profession of a noble tax collector is not fully covered. To some extent, this is correct.
Now, the tax authorities are residents of stuffy offices with a lot of different businessmen, who flock there in droves, in response to another invention of “inventors”. Gloomy personalities, accustomed to working only with paperwork, pounding out businessmen, even fragile, money for the next Olympics. The paper will endure all. In it the palaces turn into huts, shopping centers become kiosks. Unfortunately, yes, in our country for a long time trust more papers than eyes and common sense, but confused slightly. The more papers, the easier it is for the clerks to get lost in them.
…One and a half years ago I had to work in the office. Noticing that I own some programs, but rather, through a misunderstanding, I was seated at the computer. And I began to prepare documents for the Energy Supervision. Technical work has already been completed. Experts have installed in the kindergartens and schools of Moscow a device for remote transmission of data on energy consumption. It only remained to get money from the state for this. The project manager, myself and two other workers, worked on this task for eight months. Photocopies of passports, meters, current transformers, many other devices. Endless signatures of the manager on the protocols. Then the supervising authority needed additional photos of schools, cabinets, counters and the data transmission devices themselves. Another circle of sixty-three establishments. In the folder for each object were also attached documents, made in the program AutoCAD (the fruit of the efforts of a savvy specialist). By launching “Point”, I quite truthfully depicted (no one needed) circular vector diagrams. Description of the organizational structure, functional, project evaluation of reliability, metrological support – a few tens of points. Copies of permits, credentials and certificates. Documents in an electronic form to a capricious organ seemed not convincing enough. I piled all the new piles of paper into the printer.
