The fact that the old farmers have made great contributions cannot be ignored. They cultivated the land and produced food so that the whole country could be fed; they worked hard to build rivers and ensure the flow of water and irrigation of farmland; and they carried heavy loads of earth to carry earth, and they worked hard for the construction of the country's infrastructure.
Rural people live an ordinary and hard life in the countryside. They pay agricultural taxes every year, and one person and one family make their own efforts. They are not wealthy, but they always want to have a stable old age. It is a pity that the pension of the old peasants is only more than 100 yuan, which is far from meeting the needs of their daily life, and after such hard labor, their old age has not been duly respected and cared for.
In stark contrast to the old peasants, civil servants have pensions of more than 10,000 yuan and live a very nourishing life. This has led many people to ask, since the old farmers are also obliged to pay agricultural taxes, why can't their pensions be treated as contributions?
In fact, looking back at history, we can see that there is indeed a connection between the pensions of civil servants and the pensions of farmers. A few decades ago, civil servants relied mainly on agricultural taxes as a source of their salaries. After the peasants grow grain and pay the public grain, the upper-level units then take it to the market and sell it to the people in the city, use it to pay wages and social security, and most of it is used to pay wages in the system, and each family pays hundreds of kilograms of grain every year. Therefore, it can be said that the peasants paid silently and actually helped the civil servants.
However, to this day, for various reasons, the pensions of peasants are still far less than those of civil servants. To change this situation, it is necessary to face up to this problem and take proactive measures.
First of all, the government should increase its care and input to farmers. The peasants are the foundation of the country, and they provide us with food and other necessities for life. The government should increase its support for agriculture, raise the income level of farmers, and provide security for their livelihood in their old age.
Second, we should improve the rural old-age security system. At present, many farmers do not participate in pension insurance, resulting in them not being able to enjoy the benefits they deserve in old age. The government should promote the popularization of rural pension insurance to ensure that every farmer can enjoy pension benefits.
In addition, care and services for the elderly in rural areas should be strengthened. Older people in rural areas often face problems such as living alone and poor health. The government can provide better elderly care services for the elderly in rural areas by establishing community medical institutions and carrying out health check-ups for the elderly.
In short, the contribution of the old peasants cannot be ignored, and they have put in a lot of hard work in the construction of the country. In order to respect the contributions of old farmers, we should take active measures to improve their pension benefits and provide security for them in their old age. Only in this way can we enable the old peasants to live a happy and stable life in their old age.
