来自文章A friend of mine told me that when he was a young man, he went to work as a teacher in one of the states of India.One day, he received an invitation to dinner at the ruler's palace.Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues.They laughed, and told him the meaning of the invitation.They had all been invited. Each person who was invited had to bring with him a certain number of silver and gold coins.The number of coins varied according to the person's position in the service of the government.My friend's income was not high, so he did not have much to pay.Each person bowed before the ruler, his gold went onto one heap, his silver went onto another heap.And in this way he paid his income tax for the year.This was a simple way of collecting income tax.The tax on property was also collected simply.The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area, if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money.

他（the ruler 宫殿统治者）的金币堆成了一堆，银币也对成了一堆

我的一个朋友告诉我，他年轻的时候，在印第安那洲的一个小镇当了老师，有一天，他收到了独裁者的邀请，去他的宫殿聚餐。他很高兴，并告诉了自己的朋友，他们大笑，告诉他这是顿鸿门宴。他们都收到了邀请，每个收到邀请的人都要带上一定的金子或银子。金钱的多少，根据他们在政府里我担当的官位。我一朋友的工资不是很多，所以他按理不要出的很多。每个人都吹嘘自己的金子多的能堆到天花板，银子多的能装满另一仓。通过这种办法，他们缴纳了一年的工资税，这是一种最简单的收受工资税的办法，地皮税同样简单。独裁者给了这个人权利，他可以在一定范围内的佃户和土地征收税。只要他能答应支付独裁者一定金钱。当然，收税的人支付给独裁者的钱远远小与自己所征收的税。在他征收大量的税的同时，支付独裁者一定的钱（小于征收的税），剩下的就是他的利益了
