Chapter 82 More terrible than "flaunting wealth" is "flattering wealth"

"Show off your wealth" is one of the 171 new Chinese words announced by the Ministry of Education in August 2007.This word means to show and show off one's property and wealth to the society driven by the mentality of "revenge" and "revenge".Our interpretation of the values ​​of today's times refers to an "abnormal" behavior of "showing wealth" driven by a "revenge mentality". The meaning of the word "favoring the rich" is explained in the relevant reference books as follows: in the communication between people, people are judged by their social status, clothing, appearance, and amount of money, and then they follow the rich and the poor, and seek profit. the behavior of.This kind of person attaches great importance to social status and wealth, and is ashamed of associating with people whose social status is lower than his own. He flatters his superiors, pays attention to appearances, and looks down on those who are inferior to him.

In short, we believe that whether "flaunting wealth" or "flattering wealth" are two unhealthy mentalities in the current society.But in comparison, "flattering the rich" is more terrifying than "flaunting the rich". According to media reports, a few years ago, dozens of CEOs of private enterprises in a southern province with assets worth hundreds of millions gathered at Tsinghua SEM and began to accept a 10-day "closed part-time study".It is reported that this "training class" has a total of 12 days of classes, but its "tuition fee" is as high as 420,000 yuan. Some people say that this "tuition fee" is all funded by the local government.

It is understood that the original intention of the local government was to address the fact that private entrepreneurs in the province with less than junior high school education have a relatively low level of education, and through unified "training and learning" to "raise the cultural level of these people by one step."In this regard, some people can't help wondering, just 12 days of training can make a person's knowledge "crash"? There is a saying, "Ten years of cold window, no one asks, once you become famous, the world knows." We know that in real life, some people often spend more than one or even more "ten years of cold windows" in the pursuit of academic knowledge.

There is a poem that says: "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold." As we all know, knowledge needs to be accumulated slowly over a long period of time, and this so-called "training and learning" of "pick seedlings to encourage growth" is really incredible. Some people say that the government's "paying" for these rich people is more of a kind of "flattering the rich" mentality. If a person wants to flatter the rich, he will lose his personality, but if the government flatters the rich, he will lose his "government status".

The government's flattery to the rich is mainly to use "name" to "flatter" in front of the rich.In some places, government departments have also begun to think about "generating income" under the market economy. As long as you pay money, you can get the "political status" you have long wanted, and the original intention and reasons of local officials for this approach are more " Magnificent", also known as: "contributing to the local economy." In some places, rich people can become "local people's congress representatives" with money, and some even become "township head assistants". ".

Experts pointed out that this was actually kidnapped by the money of these rich people.In this regard, some people also believe that this has added a certain amount of "impurity" to our just-started construction of democracy and the legal system.In other words, this is an obstacle to the construction of our democracy and legal system. We see that today, with the rapid development of the country, all citizens of society are actively participating in the cause of socialist construction under the leadership of the government. However, the party and government officials in some places do not always keep a clear head and devote themselves to the great cause of developing the economy and improving people's livelihood, but do everything possible to cater to the so-called "rich and wealthy" who "make progress". personal needs and never-ending "political greed".

In this way, "personality" and "political status" are "unavailable".
