Direct vs. Indirect Taxation: A Metaphor | 直接税与间接税:一个隐喻

English Original

A young wife was unsure about the difference between direct and indirect taxation, so she asked her husband.

He replied, "Let me illustrate with a comparison. It's like the difference between asking me for money and secretly taking it from my pocket."


中文翻译

丈夫回答说:“让我用一个比喻来说明。这就像直接向我要钱和偷偷从我口袋里拿钱之间的区别。”
