Life style provided by governmental tax money

In USA, 10-30% of annual income will be taxed to federal government, and 10% of your house value in CA will be taxed by local government. This tax rule apply to most regular/ordinary people.

用股票換鈔票, this actually is same as every country in this world, it is not a 天下奇觀 at all. Government usually have their eyes close on this group of people for their tax. People have more income, they need to pay more tax and government will have more money to do more public services.

A big country like USA, tax money is huge income for government to spend on public service like public project, street/park maintenance, public health, social service for disadvantages and elders.

In a crowded living place, lack of park or open space for residents to take a walk or excise or do any recreational activities; local government probably can think of the alternative choice like build a multi-purpose community center in each district or city for their residents to excise instead of paying extra money to join sport club.

Think about people with regular income, they probably could not afford any of extra money for those expensive facility. So, public library and multi-purpose/sport (with treadmill or indoor table tennis...) community center is more ideal design for crowded city instead of park or a large open space.

Taiwan has done very well on public health insurance. We all are so proud of the work and looking forward to hear the government to set the quality of life in Taiwan to be more like a developed country.
