在美国的政治制度中,选区重划(redistricting)是一个每十年都会发生的重要环节。它与人口普查紧密相连,因为美国宪法要求,众议员席位必须按照各州人口分布来分配。当人口迁移、城市扩张或人口结构发生变化时,选区边界也需要随之调整,以确保“每人一票”的基本原则得到体现。

Redistricting: The “Silent War” in America’s Political Landscape
In the United States, redistricting takes place once every decade, closely tied to the national census. The Constitution requires that seats in the House of Representatives be apportioned according to each state’s population. As populations shift, cities expand, and demographics evolve, district boundaries must also be redrawn to uphold the principle of “one person, oneContinue reading “Redistricting: The “Silent War” in America’s Political Landscape”

你了解“小费免税”政策吗?
——解读《大而美法案》中关于小费收入的减税条款 在《大而美法案》(One Big Beautiful Bill Act,简称 OBBBA)中,联邦政府首次引入一项针对小费收入的所得税减免政策。该政策专门面向依赖小费为主要收入来源的劳动者,如餐厅服务员、酒店保洁人员、酒吧调酒师、美甲师等。 适用时间 小费免税政策自2025年1月1日生效,至2028年12月31日截止,共适用于四个纳税年度。2029年起将不再适用该项减免,恢复原有税收规则。

富者愈富,弱者愈弱
——从《大而美法案》看“企业福利”与“人民福祉”的此消彼长 文|内华达华人视角 在拉斯维加斯,成千上万的劳动者靠小费维生。他们是餐厅的服务员,是赌场的酒保,是酒店的客房清洁员——他们支撑起这座城市的光鲜门面,却往往拿不到稳定工资,也难以负担高昂的医保费用。 2025年7月,美国国会通过了规模庞大的《One Big Beautiful Bill Act》(简称OBBBA,大而美法案),法案承诺“提振经济”“强化边境”“减轻纳税人负担”。其中,“小费收入免税”政策一度被包装为一项利好内华达服务业劳动者的民生突破。但人们也许没有注意到的是,这项“小费免税”政策其实只是临时性的,仅适用于2025年至2028年。 而当我们翻阅完整法案文本,才发现法案的拨款结构展现出鲜明的倾斜性:一方面延续并扩大对企业的税收减免与财政补贴,且多数为长期性条款;另一方面却大幅削减对普通民众的基本保障,如医疗、粮食与住房援助。 这并非简单的财政调配问题,而是一场国家资源分配方向的深刻转向。作为全国小费工作者占比最高的州之一,内华达的劳动者站在这场再分配风暴的风口上。我们正在见证的,是一场“企业福利”对“人民福祉”的压倒性取代。
