Some people say that the peasants are too greedy, and the state subsidy of 100 is too little, and 300 is not enough? Are they really that greedy? Today, let's talk about farmer subsidies, a topic that people in the city love and hate.
Peasant subsidies, these four words in the mouths of people in the city, sometimes envy, sometimes complain. Some people say: "Giving a hundred to a peasant is too little, and giving three hundred is a matter of wanting five hundred", which sounds like a direct reference to the greed of the peasants. However, when we dig deeper into the lives of farmers and their needs, we discover that there are many more stories and truths hidden behind these misconceptions.
1. Misunderstandings and prejudices behind farmers' subsidies
"Giving a hundred to a peasant is too little, and giving three hundred is a matter of wanting five hundred." This kind of remark is particularly harsh and distressing. Those who say this kind of thing actually have a deep misunderstanding and prejudice against the peasants.
Some people feel that the peasants are always not satisfied, and how much they give is not enough. However, they have no understanding of how difficult and helpless the peasants' lives are. Now that prices have risen so sharply, a subsidy of a few hundred yuan will not solve any problem for the peasants at all.
They have to worry about medical care, their children going to school, and providing for their own care, any of these things can make their lives unbearable.
Some people say that they don't buy social security and want to receive benefits, which is too greedy, right? This idea is too one-sided, too short-sighted, right?
I would like to ask, the person who said such things, how old are you this year? Do you know when the social security system was established? In their time, was there such a welfare policy?
It's not that they don't want to be insured, it's that the social environment at that time didn't have such conditions. This is actually a legacy of history, and we cannot simply place the blame on them.
In the past few years, the peasants have paid too much for the development of the country. They worked hard under particularly difficult conditions to provide the city with a lot of food and resources, but they did not enjoy the social security they deserved. Now the state gives some subsidies, which is not given in vain, but is compensation and recognition for their past contributions.
Second, the contributions and contributions of farmers should not be forgotten
Peasant brothers have worked hard in the fields all their lives, and their hard work is the foundation of the country's development.
When the country was engaged in industrialization, the peasants sold their agricultural products at low prices, thus saving capital for industrial development. They were pitted by the scissors, but there were no complaints.
When the country was building infrastructure, many farmers went to work and built roads, bridges and water conservancy facilities with their own hands. For the sake of the overall good of the country, they left their homes and contributed greatly to the development of the city.
When it comes to food security, farmers have the greatest credit. Regardless of wind or rain, they stayed in the fields to ensure that the country had enough food. If it weren't for their hard work, we would have had a problem eating, and the country's food security would not be guaranteed.
Third, the helplessness of life and the dilemma of old-age care
In rural areas, many elderly people do not have a stable source of income. The child goes out to work and is not around to take care of it. They can only live on that subsidy and the little money they have saved. I don't dare to go to the hospital when I'm sick, I have to break a penny to buy things in half, and my quality of life is very low.
Compared with the city people, the pension of the peasants is too much worse. People in the city can get thousands or even tens of thousands of pensions when they retire, and their lives are comfortable. The peasants receive a subsidy of several hundred yuan a month, and they cannot even maintain their basic livelihood. This kind of unfair treatment makes the peasants particularly frustrated and helpless when they get old.
Let's think about it from another angle, if we are farmers ourselves, we have worked hard all our lives, but we have a very hard life when we are old, what do we think in our hearts? Do we also hope that someone can care about us and help us?
So stop those misunderstandings and prejudices, understand farmers more, tolerate them more, and listen to their voices!
