谢国忠：中国现在个人所得税40%多，又没有多少人交，你说这40%多拿着干什么？公司的所得税是25%，个人所得税40%多，在公司干活的人什么都报销，你收不 到这个钱。你把个人所得税降到25%，你收税更多，双赢。政府拿钱多，外国人一看25%？也来了。你收25%，不像美国收你90%啊。我们再开放汇率、自 由进出，给人家安全感，钱不都来了吗？钱来了我们建城市，让农民干城，变成城市人，他们的子女上学，变成白领。以前是种地的，以后是白领在办公室打电脑， 偷偷玩，不干活，这就是现代化。原来在农村，撒了种子吃瓜子，不干活。两代之后，大家人在办公室里面，也是不干活，这样经济就发展好了。
China's current personal income tax rate is over 40%, and not many people pay it. So what do you do with that extra 40%? Corporate income tax is 25%, and with personal income tax at over 40%, employees at companies get everything reimbursed, so you don't collect that much. If you lower the personal income tax to 25%, you'll collect more tax, a win-win situation. The government takes in more money, and foreigners, seeing it's 25%, will also pay. If you collect 25%, it's not like the US, which collects 90%. If we further liberalize the exchange rate and allow for freer trade, giving people a sense of security, won't that bring in more money? With that money, we build cities, let farmers work in them, become urbanites, and their children go to school and become white-collar workers. People used to farm, but now white-collar workers will be working on their computers in the office, playing games and not working. This is modernization. In the past, people in the countryside sowed seeds and ate melon seeds, not working. After two generations, everyone in the office will also be working, and that's how the economy develops.
