Lisko’s American Life

Zhang Li and Ximan are sisters, and this matter has been discussed long ago. It is precisely because of this reason that Zhang Li has always been more recognized and satisfied with Seaman.

Although she received education at the University of Denver for a short period of time and did not develop a deep sense of school honor, studying on the same campus can always give two people a different feeling of intimacy.

Li Ke nodded. He also knew about Seaman's information before. Of course, he accidentally caught a glimpse of it during the investigation of Zhang Li and Li Feng.

Seaman has always been the kind of student who has both good character and academic excellence. He even won a full scholarship in his freshman year. You must know that it is very difficult to get this honor in college. It is impossible to get this reward if you have done every obstacle, unless you are good enough to a certain level.

In addition, he often does some odd jobs in his life to support himself through self-reliance. Lisko also has a corresponding understanding. Seaman is full of time from morning to night, either to receive education in school, or Work at various part-time locations.

After falling in love with Xiaoyu, she turned down some part-time jobs and spared some time every day to contact her boyfriend. Generally speaking, this little girl's schedule is sufficient and reasonable, which can be regarded as relatively hardworking .

"I think your family conditions are also in the middle class. Why do you have to work so hard to earn money? You shouldn't be short of money."

After thinking about it for a long time, Lisko still asked the question that had been puzzling in his mind. You must know that many children of Seaman's age are still living with the living expenses given by their parents and enjoying the dreamy life of college.

There are very few examples of hardships like Seaman's. Compared with other children, Seaman's life is even more difficult than those who came out of poor kilns.

Seaman took another sip of the drink to moisten his throat before answering Lisko's question.

"I want to fulfill my dream of traveling around the world after graduation through my own efforts. My parents are just ordinary working-class people. Although the living expenses given to me are enough, I can't let my parents pay for my dream. , Furthermore, middle-level families are not so carefree, and there are still many troubles in life."

Speaking of this matter, Ximan suddenly poured out bitterness as if venting. He told all of his perception of life and the difficulty of his family, and it also made everyone aware of the social structure of the capitalist class in the United States for the first time.

In fact, in the United States, there are two levels of the happiest people in life. One is the rich class at the top. They don’t have to worry about money. Taxes, there are no illegal acts, no matter which department or the public will not be too low in your pursuit and evaluation.

For many people, their biggest worry is not having money. As long as they have money, any troubles will be solved. This truth is vividly demonstrated in the United States. Location, you want the current president of the country to have lunch with you, it is not a hard thing to accept.

The other class is the poor people at the bottom. Although they have little wealth, the government still provides a lot of convenient support for people in this class. A certain amount of food vouchers are issued, and through this voucher, you can go to a specialized store to collect many daily-use commodities.

Such as mineral water, beverages, towels, toothbrushes, clothes and most importantly food.

All of these are free, and when major situations arise, the amount of unemployment benefits will increase again and again. In some places, unemployment benefits even reach the point of 3,000 US dollars a month, which can completely allow you to spend a whole month without worry, and you don't have to be too tight.

Even the society has corresponding policy support for this special poor population, such as medical treatment, vocational training, and many places.

Therefore, in the current society in the United States, many young people are unwilling to go to work. They spend their lives drunk in their apartments every day. When the unemployment benefits come down, they use them to buy things that make people happy, alcohol, food, clothing, housing and transportation. The government has corresponding In addition to not being able to enjoy a very good life, their life is much happier than that of middle-level families.

There are many people from middle-level families. After a month of hard work and hard work, the remuneration in hand is deducted from the deduction of housing and various miscellaneous taxes, plus family expenses, and the remaining money every month is even Not even half of the unemployment benefits.

People from middle-level families are judged by a certain standard. People whose annual income hovers around 120,000 US dollars meet this standard. People who reach this standard cannot enjoy the welfare of those poor people. I have to worry about tax deductions, and I have to deal with all kinds of difficulties from my boss and intrigue among colleagues every day.

It can be said that the social form of the United States is relatively deformed. People who are in the middle of the upper and lower widths are the narrowest. It can be said that people from middle-level families work and pay taxes to support the happy life of the upper and lower classes. Unemployment subsidies are supplemented by the taxes of middle-class families, while the upper class relies on various services provided by the middle class to ensure their superior living standards.

So when it comes to the financial situation of his family, Seaman is suffering. There is not much money left in his hands at the end of the year. Excluding the payment of various taxes, the family even has to plan carefully even when they finally go to a restaurant. There are also children. All kinds of tuition and miscellaneous expenses for our school and all the expenses in the family can be described as very hard.

But the poor do not have these troubles. Children can go to public schools to receive education, receive unemployment insurance benefits at home every month, and live in poverty-stricken housing specially provided by the government. They only need to pay very low rent every month. , you can live without worry.

They don't have to think about it, and they don't feel any burden or guilt when they spend the money tomorrow and in the future, because the money comes very easily, and even Seaman has seen many students whose families receive poverty and unemployment benefits, all with current The most expensive electronic products on the market, and he can only choose some end products to reduce the burden on parents.

After hearing these words, Zhang Li and Xiao Yu looked at each other in blank dismay. It turned out that living in a capitalist country, which has always been envied by the Chinese people, is not so comfortable.
