After The Abolition Of Agricultural Tax Burden On Peasants Study

Since the mid and late years in 1980s, with the finance system and rural economysystem reform in our country, the peasant's burden problem came out and rapidlyaggravated, which caused numerous peasants dissatisfied. Therefore, peasants appealedfor help even malignant events happened in some places. At this time, the peasant'sburden problem already is not purely an economic problem but a social problem and apolitical issue. If processed improperly, it'll not only cause the peasant and thecountryside poverty, but also affect the social stabilization and the national development.In order to reduce the peasants' burden, Central Party Committee's and the State Councilhave published a series of policies and made firm decisions in many aspects. In 2004,the central committee proposed the agricultural tax would be canceled in 5 years andalso announced to cancel the agricultural tax in the whole country on 2006 January 1st,but the peasant's burden is still extremely heavy. Thus it can be seen, it is impossible toachieve the goal through the administrative orders simply by reducing the peasantsburden because the peasant's burden has deep level root and its own rule which needspeople to perform comprehensive researches to provide polices for the government tosettle the peasants' burden problem completely. It is exactly under this kind ofbackground that this article studies the peasant's burden problem after canceling theagricultural tax in order to take radical measures and provide the policy-making basis forall levels of governments, thus this article will contribute for agriculture and the ruraleconomy development and the fundamental solving of the peasant's burden.This article takes the Marx dialectical materialism and historical materialism as theinstruction, taking realities as the order, taking the event as thread structuring full text.Besides adopting the method combined with dynamic analysis and static analysis, it alsouses other methods such as the example law, the enumeration lettering, the comparisontest and so on, letting the fact and the data speak, so as to full discover the contradictoryparticularity and prominent it's characteristics. On the foundation of holding in massively material and tight induction, deduction and inference, proposes the personalopinion and makes the conclusion conform to the actual as far as possible and instructthe practice. Even if the conclusion is not close and perfect, I hope it may have certaininspiration function to the reality innovation.Being different with former researches, this article broke through the traditionalunderstanding to the burden of peasants. Most former researches only aim at peasants'dominant burden, but neglect peasants' recessive burden, or understand peasants'recessive burden insufficiently. So they are finally unable to solve the burden problem.By overall analysis, this article points out that the taxes and fees burden is only a partwhich the peasants bears, in addition, the peasants is also shouldering huge recessiveburden. This article emphasizes on the point that the main root of aggravating peasant'sburden and causing today's countryside impoverished most since 1949 is the systemsincluding the city and industry partial policies as well as city and countryside separation,sealed household register system and so on. This article points out canceling theagricultural tax merely is unable to solve the peasant's burden problem if the reformcannot make breakthrough and innovation to the dual separation system.This article discusses by dividing peasants burden into dominant and recessivekinds and point out the overall tendency of peasant's dominant burden is declined, butthere is the symptom of resilience after canceling the agricultural tax; moreover,canceling the agricultural tax cannot solve peasants' recessive burden which is still heavy.This article analyzes the reason why the farmer's burden is resilient and is still seriousby studying the administrational system, financial system and city-countryside dualstructure system and so on and put forward several proposals and countermeasures toreduce the peasants' burden.
