[Reporter Yang Chengyu/Taipei Report] Sheng Zhiren, general manager of Yunlang Tourism Group, recently complained that the housekeepers were not able to recruit manpower even with a salary increase. As a result, it was revealed that the starting salary of the housekeepers was only 27,000 yuan in a special matchmaking activity of the Tourism Bureau. , no one was found.

In response to Taiwanese low wages, low leave but high working hours, high prices, and high housing prices, Times Power legislator Qiu Xianzhi pointed out today (4) that habitual bosses are only the appearance of the problem, and that it is the people who really enslave the salaried class The "Urban Tenant Farming System" jointly created by "Golden Power-Landlord-Mindai".

Qiu Xianzhi mentioned that in the early days of World War II, the tenant farmers often paid more than 50% of the land rent to the landlord, and it was miserable. The rural tragedy of selling their daughters because of rent arrears was common.

Therefore, the Chinese Kuomintang, which was driven to Taiwan by the Chinese Communist Party, was well aware of the seriousness of the land problem, so it implemented the 375 rent reduction, stipulating that the land rent rate should not exceed 37.5%.

Qiu Xianzhi then asked: "You who work hard, how much income do you give to the landlord, builder, and landlord?" He explained that the reason why the salaried class is "urban tenant farmers" is that they are very similar to the tenant farmers who rented land in the early years , nearly half of the fruits of labor had to be paid to the landlords (landlords, builders, banks).

Qiu Xianzhi pointed out that the rent rate of tenant farmers in modern cities, including those who buy houses, will be 40.55% nationwide in the third quarter of 2022, 53.66% in New Taipei City, and 67.07% in Taipei City.

As for the renters, based on the median income and rent, the rental burden rate in Taipei exceeds 50%, and it easily exceeds 30% in other places.

He bluntly said: "Compared to the tenant farmers before the 375 rent reduction, the pain is not inferior."

Qiu Xianzhi compared the tenant farmers before the 375 rent reduction with the tenant farmers in the contemporary city. The tenant farmers on farmland rent land from the landlord, cultivate crops, and help the landlord make money.

The tenant farmers in the cities rent houses from the landlords, and they are crops themselves, helping the landlords make money.

Mortgages, house rents, and shop rents are the production costs for urban tenant farmers to continue to become crops, and they are also the heaviest living burden.

The mortgages, rents, and store rents that everyone pays are all rented by the landlords.

The one-third of an acre of land cultivated by the tenant farmers is only helping the landlord to earn money.

Qiu Xianzhi lamented that on the surface, the wage-earners from all walks of life are actually urban tenant farmers and the crops of the landlords.

Everyone worked hard, and the landlords reaped the harvest.

What is the name of this crop?

"Probably leeks."
