18世纪末,美国著名发明家、政治家本杰明·富兰克林说过这样一句话:这个世界上只有死亡和征税是确定无疑的。这句在西方国家广为流传的话告诉人们,在现代社会中,除了有意仿效鲁滨逊式的生存方式之外,要试图寻找一个脱离税收影响的空间是徒劳无益的。 At the end of the eighteenth century, Benjamin Franklin, the famous American inventor and politician, said: Only death and taxation in this world are certain. The phrase, widely circulated in Western countries, tells people that in modern society there is no futility in trying to find a space out of taxation, other than the intentional imitation of a Robinson-like way of living.
