Not surprisingly, Texas became independent again.
Many people say, don't believe it, this is Cruz's old craft, crying children have milk, Cruz is just holding a "Texas Independence" gimmick, want to get more benefits from the federal government!
Don't hide from everyone, in fact, I personally agree with this point of view, because through the referendum to achieve Independence of Texas, it is indeed a very ridiculous thing, once the federal government opens this head, then will California, which thinks it is noble, follow the trend and withdraw, and Scotland on the other side of the ocean can still sit still?
So don't think that this is a good thing, once the Butterfly of Texas gently flaunts its wings, the Western world will fall into a storm, and once the political situation in most of the developed countries in this world falls into turmoil, then the Third World War will definitely start, and no one will want to stay out of it!
So, Chinese's more concerned question is whether the United States will be divided in the end. In what ways will the United States eventually split? In this article, let's budget for the collapse of the United States through the collapse of the Ming Dynasty!
How similar is the Ming Dynasty to the United States today? Let's compare!
First of all, the party struggle, above the court during the Great Tomorrow And the Qi Dynasty, there are two main parties, the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian, they mainly defend the interests of the emperor's faction, the Donglin party headed by the Jiangnan consortium, they mainly safeguard the interests of the Jiangnan gentry class, most people may hear the name of Wei Zhongxian, they will look disgusted, simply think that the castration party is a bad person, the Donglin party is a good person, in fact, non-also, for the real low-level people, these two factions are not good birds, but Wei Zhongxian has distinct characteristics. The bad ones are even more ostentatious!
On the US side, the two major political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and we will take Trump and Biden as an example, and standing behind these two people are also two distinctive interest groups.
At present, the elite class in the United States is also divided into two parts, one part is called "real Americans", one part is called "people living in the United States", the so-called "real Americans", to a large extent, refers to the chaebols based on the United States, the main assets and breeding opportunities of such chaebols are in the United States, you say the Trump family, their family is building buildings, opening casinos, building infrastructure, the more prosperous the United States, the better their business, which is one of the reasons why Trump is willing to stand up for the "red neck"!
The so-called "people living in the United States" mainly refers to the top chaebols who are fully promoting globalization, or you can also call them transnational chaebols, global chaebols, etc., these people are not Americans in essence, or even citizens of any country, they just make a fortune through the shell of the United States, but they have not made a big enough positive return to the United States. Because most of these people's main property and breeding potential are not in the United States, but around the world.
The U.S. government, the military, including transgender people, animal protection, feminism, racial equality movements, neoliberal movements, and so on, are all tools they use to achieve global interests.
These people don't care whether the United States is unified, they don't care whether ordinary Americans are doing well or not, they have no interest in the underdeveloped Central America, and the rust belts such as the declining Detroit, what they really care about is the overseas interests that can multiply, for example, these chaebols promoted the neoliberal movement after the millennium, the core of which is that "Americans should enjoy life, enjoy freedom, and should not be trapped in factories."
The result of the movement is that a large number of factories have moved to China, the United States has become a consumer-oriented society, and then the transnational chaebols in the United States have benefited, what Apple, Tesla, a lot of money to earn back, Musk's wealth growth in the past two years has been faster than most african countries, you look for who to reason.
But on the other hand, proletarians in the United States, such as workers and farmers, lost their jobs because of factory relocation, their incomes became less and less, their livelihoods were difficult to maintain, and they eventually committed suicide or became refugees, as evidenced by the rust of Detroit.
There is no doubt that this faction represented by Trump is called "real Americans", and this faction represented by Biden is called "people living in the United States", and the presidential election that occurred in 2020 was a fundamental showdown between two forces and two major chaebol groups.
Trump said that Biden played the yin and stole the fruits of his victory, so the Capitol Hill incident broke out, completely tearing apart the Democratic system in the United States, pushing the United States to populist concentration camps, and almost reaching the border of division.
Although the key moment to understand the king instigated, took the initiative to give way to Biden, but at present most of the american people at the bottom are not obedient to Biden, they are still waiting for the return of the king in 2024, when the king is not on the stage, the United States is doomed to have a greater riot.
Let's not consider the future things first, let's look at the second point, what is the root cause of the fall apart of Daming? I tell you, it's because of fiscal problems, but 99% of the world's problems boil down to economic problems.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a famous song of uprising, called: Eat his mother, drink his mother, open the gate to meet the king, and the king will not pay for the grain. The peasants have no grain, no economy, and naturally will support the king who does not pay grain, but at the same time, please pay attention to a detail, most of the peasants who revolted at that time were Henan and Shaanxi people, and the Jiangnan region, such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and other places, never heard of any rebellion, do you know why this is?
There are two reasons, first, the Ming Dynasty has produced the bud of capitalism in a certain year, the Ming Dynasty has three world-renowned products, namely silk, tea and porcelain, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian are rich in silk and tea, the business is done all over the world, rich and oily, Jiangxi is rich in porcelain, small days are also good, these capitalists have money to desperately train their family children to study, the result is that most of the Donglin Party is Jiangnan people.
So during the Chongzhen years, such a pattern was formed, the imperial court is the world of my Donglin Party, even if you Chongzhen have the right to appoint and dismiss, you are all Jiangnan people, you have changed a lonely! Most of the country's capital is firmly in the hands of our Jiangnan consortium, you Chongzhen can give orders, but whether it is implemented or not, the degree of implementation is geometric, and it is up to us Jiangnan consortium to decide!
When the capital chaebols overthrew Chongzhen and grasped the right to speak of the imperial court, Chongzhen basically could not receive "industrial and commercial taxes" and "tariffs", according to the "Minghui Codex", the average proportion of agricultural taxes in the fiscal taxation during the Wanli calendar was as high as 75%, and the industrial and commercial tax accounted for only about 12%, such as tea, the tea tax government could only receive 26,000 taels a year, not even 1% of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court could not collect money, and the soldiers on the Liaodong front were hungry for the imperial court, and they could also support Chongzhen for 13 years. What a military miracle now!
Later, the Qing Dynasty fought too hard, Chongzhen could not receive money here in the Jiangnan consortium, and then hit the idea on the peasants, and began to levy the famous "three salaries", so the Ming Dynasty appeared a strange situation, the Jiangnan consortium was rich and oily, but did not have to pay a penny for the country, Shaanxi, Henan and other places of the peasants were on the verge of bankruptcy, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes but constantly accumulated, really can not survive, only to open the door to meet the king!
Back to the United States, does the U.S. government have money? The answer is that there is no money, not only no money, but also 28.8 trillion yuan of national debt, which Comrade Biden only painstakingly raised last month, but this debt ceiling matured again on December 15. It's just like we count the days and spend it, and if we don't come up in one breath, there will be a default and pay a price!
The country has fallen to such a point, but those top chaebols in the United States, whether it is the "real American" Trump, or the top chaebols living in the United States, they are doing their best to use the rights in their hands to "reasonable tax avoidance", Trump's tax records can be checked, I said he is an American moth, that is praising him, as for Tesla, Apple and other large multinational companies have how many reasonable tax avoidance means, then really only God knows.
In short, as soon as Biden came to power, he was imposing to levy a "rich man's tax", and as a result, he shouted for half a day, and the people's chaebols did not bird him at all, this scene is especially like before Li Zicheng wanted to break into Beijing, Chongzhen begged his grandfather and grandmother to let the officials donate money to save the country, and as a result, all the officials with a total net worth of 80 million taels of silver donated a total of 200,000 emergency money to Chongzhen, and also cried one by one on their knees: The old minister is to chisel the bottom of the family, and he must also be loyal to His Majesty!
The so-called history is to constantly repeat the ancient things in new forms. The Jiangnan consortium of that year and the multinational chaebols in the United States today are actually a type of organization, they do not care about the life and death of the people at the bottom, do not care about the rise and fall of the country, they only look at economic interests.
As long as they control the political power, then all the institutions in the United States must operate in accordance with the mode of economic operation, what manufacturing industry returns to the United States, what industry rejuvenates the country, don't think about it, that does not conform to economic laws, obviously the labor force in Southeast Asia is cheaper, as for you American workers do not have enough to eat, not warm, then what is the matter with me, it is those Chinese robbed of your jobs, then the anti-China movement is started, populism is engaged, all kinds of movements are started, in short, don't destroy Lao Tzu to make money!
At the end of the article, based on the above facts, I would like to express a personal opinion, the United States will definitely be divided, and there may be two forms of division: either under the leadership of a Trump-style figure: populism is rife, national armed riots, and then everyone builds a country freely!
Or it was led by a Biden-esque figure: the state consortia produced lawmakers like Cruz who actively promoted the independence referendum for their own interests, and finally one by one peacefully withdrew from the United States, and then the United States Federation gradually announced its dissolution due to bankruptcy.
