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
