Individual Income Tax runs from 3 percent to 45 percent. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.We can also estimate it by seeing how much of China is collectively owned by all the people of China: The Communist Manifesto provides a ten-point test: Now six percent of 1.4 billion people is 94,000,000 party members–ten million more than the entire population of Germany! Together, Party members contribute more than $1 billion in annual dues and billions of hours of unpaid service.Īnd, it’s very hard to join the Communist Party–it takes about three years–and you have to be prepared to go anywhere and do whatever the Party asks you to do.
