Xu Bin: to a government locked in a cage reform

March 18, Premier Wen Jiabao, in response to a reporter's question at a government reform of the sudden increase voice emphatically said: I would like to say a public finance is concerned, this is seldom the issues involved. We should promote the reform of the fiscal system so that the public finances better and to make structural adjustments and promote the transformation of the mode of economic development, improve people's livelihood and better improve the ecological environment. In fact, a country's financial history is frightening. If you read it, which will see is not only economic development, but also the social structure and fairness and justice. In these five years, I determined to push forward reform of the fiscal system, and let the people's money better for the people's interests.
With a fearsome appropriate to describe the history, because of the Government's day-to-day work, including simple point to the expense, it can be said that money and spend money. Various social groups or covert interest demands, and will focus on the last point, that is, how to make money and spend money, and thus determines the direction of development and social fairness, justice degree.
Government can not make money, no money, and the government and the state can not exist, let alone provide any public services. Such as taxes, fees, fines and confiscation of property, etc., are all one in the form of government money.
Not for money, do not mean that the government can collect the money as it pleases. An independent people are free to abandon natural component countries, because countries can provide better benefits and protection of the survival of conditions, unable to provide their own personal production of public goods. If the Government can collect the money as it pleases, then sooner or later, one day, in addition to the Government, everyone will become Qiongguangdan.
Similarly, the Government should not only ensure that the money must be used at public, but special emphasis on the use of efficiency. Any period of time because of the wealth of society created are extremely limited, it can not withstand unprovoked waste overspending. How much wasted spending on the social wealth was equivalent to the number of evaporation, and therefore pay all labor all have been in vain, many people will not enjoy the fruits of economic development.
Contact China's realities, everyone can imagine the difficult reform, which is the life of Gram government power, the power of the Government should be bound. Consider this the past few decades, whenever the government itself and the closely related to the interests of various reforms, often embarrassing end to the history of the past and the difficult reform of the degree, and is still far from being able to achieve "social structure and fairness and justice, "the macro sense, the reform of the fiscal system compared to this reform is the result of concern with the direction.
Only have to make people cautious optimism, is the 17th session of the Second Plenum enshrined in the communique to "deepen political restructuring, develop socialist democratic politics," "to promote socialist democratic politics institutionalization, standardization, procedures, the party and the country's prosperity and development, to provide long-term stability of the political and legal system to protect. " Only democracy, the only way to truly protect the public laws and regulations implement all the powers, the only way home reform, the home of all acts to the public under the supervision and control, to ensure that a difficult reform will not gradually lost direction, and does not have some other reforms to the expectations of the same die a natural death.
Bush once said: "thousands of years of human history, the most precious is not a compelling technology, not masters vastness of the classics, not the hype, the politicians speech, but on the rulers to achieve a docile, achieved the They kept in a cage dream. "impression, because of this, Bush only won the respect of many Chinese people.
Premier Wen said: "I am determined to push forward reform of the fiscal system," and achieve "social structure and fairness and justice", "Let the people's money better for the people's interests," such a reform of the fiscal system, in the final analysis, is a Field to the Government locked in a cage reform. Decided that the success or failure of the reform, will be "socialist democracy system, standardization and procedure" is the hundreds of millions of whether the public can truly become the protagonist of reform, rather than on the internal reform of the bystanders.
It pulled in the day, I believe that many people will continue to hope for a brighter moved. As in watching the press conference, when Premier Wen unexpectedly high tone: "I am determined to push forward reform of the fiscal system, and let the people's money better for the people's interests", I also felt a stirring in his heart moved.
