剛好看到楊斯棓醫師的臉書。過去與許多在台投資的商會朋友，特別是受薪員工常聊到，很多在台工作的專業人員，例如高科技、資安產業的朋友，儘管薪資高，但是在台灣的所得級距，常常就會到40%的級距。

但台灣各大企業繳的稅卻又低又少「不僅是亞洲四小龍中最低，只佔ＧＤＰ的二．七％，也比中國的三．六％低，更不到香港的一半。」（天下雜誌-企業好大稅好低）

我們都歡迎大筆投資進來台灣，不管是工廠、設備、土地，但是所有投資裡頭，最能夠發揮綜合效益的，就是人才資源。

然而這些專業人士，不管本籍外籍，所得來源通常不來自被動式收入，不來自租金、有價證卷等其他資本孳息等收入。（巴菲特曾說，他繳的稅率比清潔工低）

而這些專業人士，通常也更會將他們的薪資收入，更大比例重新在一般「消費市場」，而非「資本市場」消費。

他們會花費在下一代的教育，他們生活周遭的市場、餐廳、
遊樂設施，而這些消費也會有正面的效應，回到一般民眾。一層一層下去，對整體經濟更會有正面的影響。

台灣接下來面對的挑戰，更需要一群來自海內外的所有專業人才一起打拼，讓簇新的思想以及判斷事物的不同原則一起激盪，從移民法規、稅制，我們都可以破除所有前例，就算會經歷一些辯論、陣痛。

或許除了專注於貨物、商品流通，我們更該注重國家發展最重要的主軸：人。

In the past, I often talked to many friends in business associations investing in Taiwan, especially their salaried employees. Many professionals working in Taiwan, such as high-tech and security industry friends, despite the relatively high salary have an income gap in Taiwan that often reaches the 40% level compared to other markets.

However, the taxes paid by Taiwan’s major enterprises are low. "Not only is it the lowest among the four Asian dragons, it only accounts for 2.7% of GDP, it is also lower than China’s 3.6%, and it is less than half of Hong Kong." World Magazine-Enterprises have great taxes and low taxes)

We all welcome large investments in Taiwan, whether it is factories, equipment, or land, but among all the investments, the most comprehensive benefit is human resources.

However, these professionals, regardless of their foreign nationality, usually do not derive their income from passive income, nor from income such as rent and other certificates such as securities. (Buffett once said that he pays a lower tax rate than cleaners)

And these professionals usually also reinvest their salary income in a larger proportion in the general "consumer market" rather than the "capital market".

They will spend their education on the next generation, the markets, restaurants,
Amusement facilities, and these consumptions will also have a positive effect, returning to the general public. Layer by layer these have a positive impact on the overall economy.

Taiwan’s next challenge will require a group of professionals from all over the world to work together to stir up new ideas and different principles for evaluating things. From immigration laws and tax systems, we can all break all the previous examples, even if we will experience some debates and pain points.

Perhaps in addition to focusing on the circulation of goods and commodities, we should pay more attention to the most important main pillar of national development: people.

Yesterday, during the Fortitude Budget speech, our Singapore Deputy Prime Minister talked about the increasing demand for IT, technology and engineering related workers. The digital space is growing, and through this COVID-19 pandemic, more businesses are seeing the need to transition to digitization and having an online presence instead of just a physical storefront.

When you start a blog or website, it’s the beginning of building an online presence. It opens up new opportunities for you and suddenly you’re able to reach a wider audience and customer base than ever before.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.”” (Daniel‬ ‭12:4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The end times is marked by an exponential increase in knowledge. The last time I heard, the world’s experts call this time the “Information Age”.

There are many benefits in starting a website or blog, because there are so many searching for knowledge online. People are even willing to pay for knowledge.

As a Christian writer and blogger, I use my time to study the Bible, and share the revelations I receive during my study time in my blog, social media and books. I spent years experimenting with my own website and social media platforms.

Since people are looking for knowledge, let it be the truth of God’s word that they find. If there’s demand, there’s an opportunity. Just provide the supply. It’s perfectly okay to be paid well for the time you spend in creating quality content that improves people’s lives!

Monetizing your website or blog isn’t like a job. In your salaried job, even if you slack off and your boss doesn’t notice, you still get paid by the hour.

In blogging and selling your own products online, you are paid based on the results you get—not based on per hour, but per sale or per click (for ads).

This means that you have the opportunity to grow your income without a boss to set your limits.

Ask the Lord to give you creative, wise ideas and place you in the right place at the right time to generate massive results. Only He can give you the grace for that.

You can learn all you want from so-called ‘experts’ online, but if you don’t receive favor from God, you can’t succeed.

“I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

You can plant and water all you want by your own efforts, but without God giving the increase, your website or blog won’t grow. It’s so important to receive and rely on His favor!

Perhaps you even lost your job or took a pay cut. Why not explore a new way of doing things and learn new skills?
Being able to build, manage and market a website are valuable skills that add value to companies who are looking to hire talents.

If you’re going to start a website or a blog, do it for God’s glory, to exalt the name of Jesus. You’ll be rewarded for your labor of faith, hope and love.

I have a local friend who builds professional websites for a living, and he charges even up to $50,000 for a website.
My rate is much, much lower than that. I’ve built websites for clients before, but my portfolio isn’t an extensive as his. My passion is still in writing about God’s word, so building websites is something I can do, but only for a few people.

If you want to hire me to build a website/blog for you, you can do so here: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p14/website-creation-service-based-in-singapore.html

If you hire me, I will include US$800 worth of free inclusions like suggesting a name (URL) for your domain that boosts your website’s visibility on Google, my eBook guide “How to Use your Weebly Website” to help you confidently use your new website yourself, setting up your email newsletter account and Google Analytics (for tracking website data and growth), as well as suggestions and placement of stock photos for your website.

Here’s to witnessing the next wave of Christian bloggers and digital entrepreneurs succeed in the mission of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ known! 🙌

連特斯拉也要開始放無薪假，另外部份員工的失業補助金等於他們在特斯拉的薪資

美國政府的錢真的是用的很豪邁...
