The pension benefits of laborers after retirement should be equal.
To find a way out for the leaders
Dong Mingzhu understands politics
- For the national announcement to increase the farmers’ pension by 20 yuan, someone finally came out to applaud!
Dong Mingzhu said: It is a very large investment for the government to give everyone 20 yuan!
- Regarding pensions, she understands it as the company issuing bonuses, which is equivalent to the elderly being employees hired by the state, rather than citizens: These 20 yuan are like I am giving bonuses to employees in the company. One person gets 1,000 yuan, and the employees feel that they only get 1,000 yuan. For the enterprise, it is to take out 800 million or 1 billion yuan at once.
- She does not deny that it should be increased: I believe that the national treasury has the ability to give everyone more subsidies.
- But in terms of pace: It takes time, add it bit by bit.
In the context of nationwide discussion, and the article “7 representatives request to increase farmers’ pensions“, her statement is like a bucket of cold water, directly pouring on everyone and making them shiver.
Doesn’t she know the old Chinese saying “to help each other in times of difficulty” and “not to worry about scarcity but to worry about inequality”?
She knows that the farmers’ contributions do not match their gains.
She knows that some people receive a pension of tens of thousands of yuan per month, while farmers only have less than 200 yuan.
She knows everything.
She is just pretending not to see it.
Fortunately, she is the only one in the country who says this.
But what is sad is that her words may be the only ones that count.
The others are just shouting.
The reason behind it, in fact, Dong Mingzhu also hinted: The cake is just that big. If you give more to the farmers who get less than 200 yuan, those who get seventy or eighty thousand a month will have to reduce it.
Therefore, she is bad!
Of course, others only dare to say to improve the treatment of farmers, but no one dares to mention reducing the treatment of veteran cadres “Close official media, cancel the treatment of veteran cadres, and privatize state-owned enterprises, our country supports Milei’s reform“
On the contrary, Zhou Shihong, a partner of Grandall Law Firm (Hefei) Office, broke this layer of paper!
He said: The pension benefits of retirees in the three major groups of government institutions, public institutions, enterprise employees, and urban and rural residents are quite different. The pension benefits of laborers after retirement should be equal!
Many people only think that this sentence is for farmers, but it actually touches a forbidden zone: identity!
Why is the treatment of farmers so bad? Have you heard of taking the civil service exam, have you heard of taking the farmer exam?
This difference in treatment is not a difference in occupation, but a difference in identity!
Peng Yuanwen, an old colleague of the Beijing News who relentlessly pursued the issue of farmers’ pensions, calculated a bill. Last year, there was a subsidy of 1.1 trillion yuan, which was roughly allocated as follows:
Urban and rural residents (farmers): an average subsidy of 223 yuan/month, an increase of 25.56% compared to 2023;
Enterprise employees: an average subsidy of 603 yuan/month, an increase of 13.88% compared to 2023;
Within the system: an average subsidy of 3611 yuan/month, an increase of 12.19% compared to 2023.
From the perspective of the increase, farmers are the highest.
But from the perspective of the actual amount, the per capita subsidy for personnel within the system is 6 times that of enterprise employees, and 16 times that of urban and rural residents.
Even the most politically conscious domestic AI is very speechless about this: it reflects the differentiated characteristics of the pension security system.
Over the years, social security contributions have risen sharply. I thought the bottom would improve. As Qin Hui said, if you go left, freedom will be damaged and welfare may not increase; if you go right, welfare will be lost and freedom may not increase.
Since 2017, under the name of pension integration, the proportion of pensions in administrative institutions has risen from 30.8% to 38.4% in 2024; while other social security categories are just the opposite, falling from 15.6% in 2013 to 7.4% in 2024.
This has created a rare achievement in the world: the replacement rate of pensions within the system exceeds 100%!
Globally, the pension replacement rate is generally around 50%. The world-famous Nordic high-welfare countries are only about 60%, and the particularly high ones in Denmark and Iceland are only about 80%.
But in our country, if you retire at the age of 60, the replacement rate exceeds 110%; if you retire at the age of 65, the replacement rate can even reach an astonishing 160%.
In contrast, enterprise employees are 40-45%.
Farmers?
？
Due to the rapid increase in pensions within the system in recent years, a retired old cadre from the procuratorial system wrote in his family history that his driver, who retired in recent years, had a pension that exceeded his.
So much so that an old provincial governor found that his pension was less than half of that of a deputy governor who retired in recent years, and angrily called to question.
What a feast!
