Civil servants are persons engaged in administrative management and the execution of public affairs in state organs, public institutions, social organizations, and other departments. There is no doubt that their wages come from the state treasury. However, we cannot simply equate the salaries of civil servants with the "hard-earned money of the people".
First of all, being a civil servant does not mean that they live on the hard-earned money of the people. Although the salaries of civil servants come from taxes, and it is true that taxes come from the hard work of the people, this does not mean that the salaries of civil servants are entirely made up of the people's hard-earned money. The main sources of tax revenue include personal income tax, corporate income tax, consumption tax, etc., which are taxes paid from the interests of individuals and businesses. The salaries of civil servants are only a small part of this and do not constitute an absolute proportion of the total tax revenue. Therefore, all taxes cannot simply be classified as "people's hard-earned money".
Second, the salaries of civil servants are not determined by the leadership of the people, but by the positions and ranks they hold in state organs, public institutions, social organizations, and other departments. Different positions and levels, different job content and responsibilities will have different degrees of impact on the salary level. Civil servants are promoted or rewarded through open, transparent, competitive examinations and various evaluation mechanisms, rather than relying solely on the care and background of the leaders to increase their salaries. Therefore, the salaries of civil servants are mainly obtained by their own efforts and abilities, and not only on the hard-earned money of the people.
Furthermore, we cannot exclude civil servants from the people. Civil servants are part of the organs of the State, and they serve the people as persons who carry out public affairs. From this point of view, civil servants are also members of the people. Civil servants undertake important responsibilities in their work, such as maintaining social stability, promoting economic development, and ensuring social welfare, and their dedication and efforts are to serve the people and promote the development of society as a whole. Therefore, the salary of civil servants is both a reward for their personal efforts and an incentive to encourage them to perform their duties better and serve the people.
All in all, although the salaries of civil servants are derived from state finances, they cannot simply be summed up as "people's hard-earned money". Civil servants are paid through their own efforts and abilities, and they are those who are engaged in administrative management and the execution of public affairs in state organs, public institutions, social organizations and other departments. Therefore, we should have a correct understanding of the status and role of civil servants, and while affirming their contributions and contributions, we should also demand that they better perform their duties, serve the people, and make greater contributions to social progress.
