家园 buddy, you must be from

Ontario or Alberta. I did notice that English-speaking Canadians are very similar to Americans: law-abiding good citizens. I feel at ease when I deal with them -- no same feeling with French Canadians.

There are many magic things going on in Quebec. I visited Montreal many times for business reasons and heard many funny stories. The recent exposed story is about its expensive highway construction and its Italian-controlled mafia. The Chinese community in Montreal is much poor than its counterparties in Toronto and Vancouver. So some of the stories mentioned by Forger might sound abnormal, but still can be quite true.

Chinese, on average, are good at utilizing their talents on grey tricks. It has been proved in Europe, in America and Canada. I do not dispute that because I was shocked by many stories I heard when I am in Europe, US and Canada.

BTW, there are all kinds of grey tricks people do not teach you in school... You and I are lucky middle-class professionals, so we do not have to scratch the bottom of the food trash bin-- but you should not assume everyone is as lucky as you are.

家园 hehe, 其中不少是法语系的,也有几个现在已经升到高层

actually it is in Canada's best interests if Canada can separate away from Quebec.

我认为虽然红脖子可恨,但还是可交的--ya, they are straightforward.

Canadian gov. is well-known for party patronage. Its civil service is stuffed with political appointees. It has never successfully reformed its civil service system following the American model.

It has much less corruption mainly among the lower-level staff: these people deal with businesses and individual on a daily basis, that's why people have the wrong perception that Canada is less corrupted than many OECD nations.

家园 that's normal 香蕉人其实更看不起华人.

nobody looks up to losers.

First-generation Chinese need to show that they are financially stronger and intellectual smarter to earn respect. No Jewish kids look down upon their parents because they know their parents are winner in this land called America. Nobody dare to look down upon winners. At least in Silicon Valley where those ABC's parents are often option-based millionaire, I heard much fewer stories where ABCs dare to look down upon their successful parents.

ABCs need to understand that they are nobody without the free college eduction offered by their parents : they have no capital to look down upon anybody except themselves if they are losers in this competitive world called America.

家园 on tax law, 慈善捐款不是deduction,

yes, the American tax law system is very different from the Canadian one.

The Canadian tax law only gives you tax credit. Just google tax return form you will understand. The Canadian tax system is very biased again the high-salary-income people and not as friendly as the American one. There is no mortgage interest deduction too.

CASH-charity contribution does enjoy higher tax credits than the average deduction item tax credit.

In comparison, U.S. and UK tax laws are closer, and Canadian tax law more reflects its nature as the largest socialist nation in the world. (maybe second largest after France)

家园 hehe, 支持XX功让他们很有道德优越感

ya.

家园 谢澄清。不过。。。

还是有问题:

假如你的收入是一万,而你纸面上捐了二万,难道可以向政府要一万的credit?

或者你本来要交一万的税,而现在你纸面上捐了二万,难道可以向政府要一万的credit?

常识告诉我这可能不行。

The Canadian tax system is very biased against the high-salary-income people。所以高收入者捐款省税好处大,但仅为了这个好处自己去举牌就搞笑了。

家园 deduction is very different

from credit--deduction deducts the HIGHER BRACKET income, tax credit benefit is limited by cap rate (please check Canadian tax form).

BTW, LOTS OF CANADIAN TAX CREDITs ARE REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS (that's quite different from the American tax credits)--so in the end, the Canadian gov. gave more money back to the taxpayers than their withhold taxes.

Google "taxtips.ca and tax comparison".

For some Canadians, they might earn $10k, pay 0 tax and get another $1,000 to 2,000 back from the gov.(federal and provincial)-- that sounds SHOCKING to Americans, but it is true in Canada. The highest returned money is in Quebec: $2,000 based on 2009 data.

America has more NON-refundable tax credits than refundable tax credits. Have you ever heard of Tax Reform of 1986 under Reagan administration? Many loopholes in the system were covered in 1986. Lots of refundable tax credits disappear after 1986.

BTW, U.S. state income tax law is very simple--much simplier than the provincial tax code in Canada.

假如你的收入是一万,而你纸面上捐了二万,难道可以向政府要一万的credit?

--You can donate your accumulated wealth. That's normal. Many private equity fund managers have 0 LABOR income, but lots of capital gains on paper--you should not be shocked. Your scenario is possible, because the 10k returned money can be refundable tax credit. But more likely you will be audited by CRA these days since Canadian gov. is tightening against tax tricks.

The change mainly happened after 2009. Before, it is quite loose. CRA recruited an army of tax auditors in the last two years.

I can not write more, because I might have to send you a bill for professional consulting service then... kidding..

家园 反对一下

不知道中国政府没钱了之后,还有没有那么多爱国华侨了。

-------想想抗日时候华侨的捐款把,莫非那时候的中国政府还能退税给他们?

家园 真是有意思

呵呵,上升到人品攻击了,普世价值,人人平等,怎么就不能指责了?怎么就知道别人是不能腐败而愤愤了,一定要混得好才能指责?这不是自己打自己耳光,倒退到门阀社会了?

哎,明白人很少啊,我在国内,有时也搞点文宣,知道意识形态文宣这些基本上都是扯淡,怎么有些留学出国的高人还不明白呢?真不明白?还是假不明白?

经济决定政治,XX功的衰落因为经济问题又怎么错了?找人举牌做托很正常啊,到处都有,国内明星们的粉丝都是这样请的,难道还像以前啊,现在的人都不傻了。怎么那么多人站出来说这说那,饭哥,你树敌太多么了,呵呵,对错都攻击,早就是对人不对事了。谢谢你的推荐哈,我还真查到了——智力因素(智因)在生物进化中的主导作用这样的中文文章,有没有什么其他链接呢?e文不好,基督科学报的网站不知道进哪个版块

家园 晕,楼主说的不就是为了钱上街的情况么?

他们不是免费的啊,按照楼主的设定和俺的逻辑结果是这样的(除非俺真的没看明白):

设定:富人不向某功捐钱;某功可以出捐款凭证;捐款凭证可以抵税

交换一:穷人上街,某功出捐款凭证,穷人拿捐款凭证(比如说一百刀)

交换二:穷人和富人按照一定汇率兑换捐款凭证,例如一百刀凭证换五十刀真金白银

交换结果:穷人获得50刀,富人避税100刀(减去成本50刀后净所得50刀),某功获得站街的人;大家拿政府损失100刀潜在收入(被逃税)。

当然你说的对,某功在上述的交换中没有获得现金收入,怎么做帐也是一个很大的问题。但是实际上的情况可以和复杂,做帐这种事情俺相信即使在大家拿美帝这样的地方也不是不可能,要不然也不会有安然了,对不?

家园 我这个晕啊,这哪儿是学术问题啊

人家已经在跟被帖子招过来的真轮子互相回帖吹捧了

http://www.here4news.com/article/3187862

明摆着是屁股的问题了,您这儿还在研究治学态度呢

家园 这里最大的问题:这里有几位以假设来谈论现实

甚至,以假设为前提来给现实下结论。

在加拿大,没有啥“富人”给轮子捐款,也不会有啥“富人”跟“穷人”联合起来骗政府的那一点税。

上面那些,实在大多存在于楼主的想像之中。

家园 问题是你也是假设啊

你不可能掌握全加拿大的资料这么斩钉截铁地说没有富人给轮子捐款或者富人跟穷人合谋啊。

我相信加拿大大部分富人可能不会给轮子捐款,但是只要有一个,你说的就不成立。加拿大几千万人口,只要有很小的一部分人给轮子捐款就很是很大一笔钱了。

或者你至少说明一下为什么你的假设比楼主的更靠谱呢?楼主说了一个案例,哪怕这个案例可能是假的,但是他提供的逻辑是可能的:如果有一个机会你可以白得50块而没什么风险,你会不会做?50块不做,500块呢?5000呢?楼主讲的就是利益动机,这个过程可能是有风险,但是马克思也说过,有百分之三百的利润,资本敢于践踏人间的一切法律。

所以,除了反复强调楼主的前提不成立,你能不能告诉我为什么楼主的前提不成立呢?或者你有证据,或者你能指出楼主的逻辑漏洞。至少就跟俺说的一样,政治避难拿绿卡的事情起码是存在的,同样的逻辑我相信会有人为了一定的金钱干一些他们本来不愿意干的事情;职业抗议的人也是有的,群众演员嘛;而欧美一些国家的税法本身也是有一定的机制鼓励捐款给慈善机构的,富人会通过捐款合理避税,这样的事情也并不匪夷所思。

俺纯粹是处于研究这个问题的目的,并非要跟你抬杠。你提出了结论,有些人包括我不太相信,所以我们想知道你如何得出结论的。楼主也提出了结论,而且他提出了逻辑上的证明,除了你说的假设前提之外,他的逻辑是成立的。而关于他的假设前提,他提供了一个案例就是他的朋友,虽然不靠谱,但是你这边连一个不靠谱的证据也没有啊。

当然,楼主有很多话有演义的成分,或者造假的成分,据此有河友指出他有某功的嫌疑,这个俺不知道。我个人的想法是:我不认为我们应该先标签他,认为他没有信用,所以他说的都不可信;每个人都可能犯错,同时每个人都有特定的动机,我们的判断其实是对对方动机和事件本身双重的判断,而我讨论这个问题的目的主要在于弄清楚他说的这个事情是真是假,如果是假的,那么他进一步丢失信用。

家园 再说一遍,俺说的不是假设,是俺见到的

当然,俺见到的不可能是全部。你要按照假设来讨论这个话题,俺没有兴趣。

还是那句话,您爱信不信。。。只是请您用常识判断一下:某功有电视台,有报纸杂志网站,定期组织活动,包飞机全球抗议,甚至,攻击民用卫星。这些费用,靠站街的老头老太骗来的几个钱可以干的么?至于捐款,您也靠假设来判断么?什么“只要有很小的一部分人给轮子捐款就很是很大一笔钱了。”,您知道自己在说什么?

最后一贴,恕不再回。

家园 说了半天也就是说你没有证据啊

你的也是假设,为什么你就觉得你的假设一定比别的假设靠谱呢?这就是我不明白的地方。我其实根本不相信某功要靠这些钱(或者至少它主要的收入不是这些),所以在你早先提到的核心论点上,我们两个人并没有本质性分歧。但是在这里我问的是:某功可不可能通过这种途径获得一部分收入,哪怕是很小的一部分?

你说的很多我都觉得有道理:某功干了很多需要钱的事,没错;靠老头老太骗来的钱完全干不了这些,我也认为没错;靠捐款,也干不了这么些事,我还是认为没错。但是这些不是我的观点啊,在我早前的帖子里甚至说了,这种突进中某功不一定获得收入。我主要的观点如下:

第一,某功可以通过这种方式获得几乎免费的站街的人。这点对于某功来说很重要,某功可能是不缺钱的,但是他需要有人站街,一种方式是自己的信徒去,但是可能人数不够;另外一种是直接雇佣;还有一种是自己不花钱雇佣(这个是楼主提出的机制,即某功是如何实现的;你提出了不同的看法,但是你除了强调加拿大不可能有富人给某功捐钱和这个不可能之外,没有能提供有说服性的理由,请注意,我说的是理由,不是结论)。但是至少从动机上来讲,最后一种我觉得是完全可能的。同样的条件只要是理性的人都会选择最少支出,最大收益吧?

第二,我完全无法理解你所说的逻辑,即:因为某功办了很多烧钱的事情,所以他们不会要站街的老头老太骗来几个钱或者不会要富人捐款。注意,我始终强调的是:我并不认为我们讨论的这些方式是他们的主要收入来源。我想说的是苍蝇再少也是肉,你现在肯定是衣食无忧的,那么公司有一天说在每月的工资的基础上,每个月多给你10块钱,你会拒绝么?你可能不会刻意去努力争取这十块钱,但是如果这个很容易呢?比如公司说你回一下这个邮件就给你,你会回么?另外来说,按照你的逻辑,很多托着小巷子在街头募捐的各种志愿者都不要干了,一个一个路人能捐多少钱?所以那些NGO啊啥的,都赶紧去想办法去抱个粗腿,比如说NED啥的,一下子给足经费,其他的小钱就不要了,反正也不够办一次活动的。

另外,关于富人捐钱,我不知道有没有富人给某功捐钱,但是为什么你就认定肯定没有呢?我就是想不明白这点,加拿大这么大,就没有一个富豪发神经?如果你觉得我不知道自己在说什么,那么可以推定的是你认为自己的不是假设,至少是有相当大的代表性(或者说有相当大的可靠性),那么一种可能性是你掌握某功内部资料;另外一种是你对加拿大富人做过至少是抽样调查。如果有第三种可能,我真的很诚恳地请你告诉我你是怎么得到这个数据的。你始终不肯说你是怎么确定没有的,然后反复说别人的是假设,这样不能说服任何人的吧?
