Current issues:

1. Property tax is unbearable and should not be borne, and the tax calculation is also unreasonable, this also leads to have to raise rents, leads to tenants cannot pay rent stably.  

2. After paying high taxes, how the money is spent is not clear at all, because they even refuse to show detailed budgets and final accounts.  

3. The so-called audit not only remains confusing, but also increases audit fees.  

4. All taxes and fees only need to report the so-called personnel salaries, resulting in taxes being collected, but hardly any benefits for the people are seen, apart from this, the government needs to maintain the infrastructure related to housing (such as roads, water, electricity, and gas) in order to collect property taxes on high housing prices. 

5. As a result, additional charges are still required: high water fees, permit fees, and high maintenance and design construction fees colluded with design and construction units.  

6. Garbage fees are collected, but collection is still only once every week, endangering people’s health and damaging environmental protection. In fact, even if garbage is collected for free every day, it can be turned into fertilizer, reused, and even generate profits. 

7. In particular, fines at will and confiscation of people’s property by abuse of power turned out to be the main source of extre revenue for the government!  

Our Basic measures:

For 1 and 2, reduce or exempt property tax, and the tax rate should be determined based on land area and location quality, rather than the so-called market price, so as to avoid the situation where those occupying good locations and large areas of land pay less tax due to laziness and low market prices, while owners of barren land or small areas pay more tax because of their diligence and ability, which increases the land value.  

Allow taxpayers to choose to replace tax with engaging in municipal work and receiving wages; those without labor ability but with vacant land that can be merged for operation can use the land to offset the tax and also receive dividends from land income; those without vacant land can only transition to replacement with new activity houses provided by the government until world-class apartments.  

For 3 and 4, publish monthly income and expenditure details, listing the specific prices, sources, and evidence of various materials and labor for public review by all citizens. At the end of every year, professional personnel will conduct audits, by local residents given priority.  

For 6, the public shall openly review the cost and usage of water fees. It must not be the case that with the world’s largest freshwater resources and an extremely small population, people still cannot afford water. We will also freely use our patented invention “water flows from high places” technology for scientific water pumping and filtration to greatly reduce costs. Not only will permit fees be canceled, but for projects that do not require application and approval, the people shall be allowed to do them freely. Even for projects that require approval, our professional team will be service-oriented, striving to provide multi-faceted professional services to applicants for free.  

For 7, we promise to strive for daily collection of kitchen waste to ensure home and public hygiene and environmental protection. Volunteers or rotating households on each street can transport it to centralized locations, and then use scientific methods to convert it into fertilizer for agricultural use.  

For 8, for any violations, education shall be the main approach and fines supplementary. Even when fines can be imposed, the parties involved shall be allowed to choose to perform volunteer work instead, to increase the violators’ memory and friendship with the government and the public.
