Mathematics for mental retardation

I have already written that in the Volgograd region, officials revalued the cadastral value of land, as a result of which rent increased in price several times. In response to an appeal from “Business Russia” signed by me with a proposal to reconsider the stupid decision that is killing small and medium-sized businesses, we received a lengthy and vague letter with reference to all sorts of laws and acts, the essence of which is as follows, we could not have raised it, but no one cared , and the one who did this was fired, and he was guided by considerations of replenishing the budget.

In general, like on that collective farm, in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, she needs to be milked more and fed less.

When a year ago, the smart guys from the Ministry of Finance raised the UST rate, in the hope of collecting an additional trillion from business, we warned that not only would you not collect the additional amount, but you would also lose what you had. Nobody listened, Kudrin was on horseback. And so it happened, Kudrin was kicked out, taxes were raised, no money was collected, and budget revenues fell. By the way, it was then that Medvedev said that exactly a trillion of his officials were stealing from government procurement.

Now for the math. Today I gave advice on what to do for the owner of a small camp site. He has 5 hectares of land, several chicken coops. Rent was 20,000, became 110,000 per month. In total, commerce paid 240,000 per year. I suggested that he terminate the contract, carry out land surveying and conclude a lease agreement exclusively for his property of about 0.07 hectares. In total, he will pay about 19,000 per month. And instead of the 1.3 million they dreamed of receiving, officials will have 228 thousand, that is, less than they had. That's it, curtain, lesson over.
