【新唐人2014年12月10日讯】12月8号,中国大陆一万多名各界人士,联名致信中共人大及国务院法制办,呼吁取消社会抚养费,也就是计划生育罚款。分析指出,生育是人类最基本的权利,加上社会抚养费去向不明,应该停止征收。
建议信起草人之一、广东涉外经济职业技术学院教师李润发,8号向《第一财经日报》证实,他们已将联名信及一本厚达834页的联署人留言簿,寄往人大及国务院法制办。
李润发表示,建议信在计生QQ群和各大论坛发出后,很快就征集到超过一万人的联合署名。建议人来自各行各业,包括教师、公务员、工程师、医生、律师、工人、个体经营者、企业经理等。
据《第一财经日报》报导,中共国务院法制办11月20号公布《社会抚养费征收管理条例(送审稿)》,征求各界意见,引发社会各界关于抚养费的存废之争。人口学者黄文政和梁建章联名发表文章,建议暂停征收社会抚养费,惠州市旅游局局长黄细花等6名人大代表,也向全国人大建议取消征收社会抚养费。
东南大学法学教授张赞宁:“我认为这个要求是非常合理的,因为生育是人类的最基本的权利,全世界都是你生孩子,除了家庭要抚养孩子以外,社会还要承担一点责任来抚养这个孩子。现在中国是相反,你要是超生了,就要反过来向社会缴抚养费,这是不合理的。”
参与联名书的民间公益活动人士韩呈祥向《自由亚洲电台》表示,征收社会抚养费政策,是基于把孩子当作社会负担这种理论基础上。如今,人口经济学家已经证明,人口不是经济负担,而是经济财富的创造者。
据了解,大陆每年各地的社会抚养费征收规模超过200亿元,社会抚养费的征收是否合理以及去向,一直备受社会关注和质疑。
张赞宁:“从以往所缴的抚养费来看,信息不透明,这个社会抚养费究竟抚养了谁,现在有资料表明,其中有一部分就给了计生委的工作人员,发了奖金,发了补助等等,给他们发了福利,该抚养的人没有得到抚养,所以这个抚养费必须取消。”
面对社会的取消呼吁,12月2号,中共卫计委却表示,社会抚养费不会取消,还声称如果取消,对遵守计划生育政策的群众并不公平。
张赞宁:“这个讲法是没有道理的,你不管遵守还是不遵守,他的公民权利在社会上是平等的,再一个,我受到不公平的待遇,其他人也应当受到不公平待遇,才算是公正的,有这个道理吗?这是非常荒谬的。”
8号,《新华网》发表评论文章,指全中国累计征收的社会抚养费超过1.5万亿元,但去向不明。尽管中共卫计委明确回应不会取消征收,但有关争议依然激烈。《新华网》还说,揭开面纱,公开透明,是取信于民的关键。
但河南维权人士张海涛认为,一党专政下,不可能做到公开透明。
河南维权人士张海涛:“中共计划生育政策,本来就是侵犯人权,没有人性的,它实行30多年来,已经豢养了一批靠计划生育来剥削其他人(的人),社会抚养费每年征收几百亿,它加重了许多民众家庭的负担,并且它征收的几百亿,并没有用到社会民生方面,所以现在越来越多的人要求取消社会抚养费。”
无锡居民、计划生育受害人王彩霞指出,计生政策暗含了有钱便能超生的现实。
无锡居民王彩霞:“这个社会抚养费肯定是不对的,有钱的,有明星甚么的,他们都可以生几胎,老百姓不能生,肯定是不对的。在中国,体制问题造成了许多的不公,像我给他们致残了,他们还做了很多的假证,来打压你,中国老百姓真的没办法。”
社会抚养费的存废,在网络上也引发热烈讨论。有网友说,用钱来买“生育权”,太无耻。也有网友说,从出生那天起,就和各种去向成谜、征收合法性存疑的行政收费打上交道了。

Thousands of People Petition to Cancel Family Planning Fine
A joint letter of more than 10,000 Chinese calling for an end
to the family planning fine, called the social maintenance fee,
was addressed to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and
Legislative Affairs Office (LAO) of the State Council on Dec. 8.
In addition to the large sum of the fine, which has been
unaccounted for, it is considered that fertility is a basic human
right, so the regulation should be abolished.
Guangdong International Economics College teacher Li Runfa
is one of the initiators of the letter.
He told China Business News, or yicai, that a joint letter and
a 834-page signers book have been delivered to the NPC
and LAO of the State Council.
Li Runfa said, once the proposal was issued to various
online chat rooms, more than 10,000 people quickly
responded to the petition.
There are people from all walks of life such as teachers,
civil servants, engineers, doctors, lawyers, workers,
self-employed, business manager and so forth.
Yicai reported the argument was brought about due to a
Nov. 20 release of LAO soliciting ideas on regulating
the family planning fine.
Demographers Huang Wenzheng and Liang Jianzhang
coauthored a proposal to suspend the fine collection.
Six NPC members such as Huizhou City Tourism Bureau Director,
Huang Xihua, also recommended the regulation be abolished.
Southeastern University Law Professor Zhang Zanning:
"I think this is a very reasonable request.
Fertility is the most basic human right.
Everywhere in the world except for China, the family and
society are responsible for raising the child.
In China, it is the contrary.
Extra births will result in a maintenance fee to society.
It is unreasonable."
Activist Han Chengxiang told Radio Free Asia that collection
of social maintenance fee was based on the view of the child
as a societal burden.
But, economics of population has demonstrated, rather than
an economic burden, population is the wealth creator.
Reportedly, more than 20 billion yuan of family planning fines
are collected annually.
For years, the rationale and the usage of the fine has been
a subject of concern and doubt.
Zhang Zanning: "Based on the money collected previously,
the opaque system has been questioned as to who have
benefitted by the regulation.
Data showed some of the money has become a bonus and
subsidy for the workers at the Family Planning Commission.
Those who were supposed to be raised by the fee
did not get the benefit.
This fine collection must be terminated."
Faced with social appeal, the National Health and Family
Planning Commission responded on Dec. 2 that the social
maintenance fee will not be canceled.
It claimed the cancellation will only be unfair to those who
abide by the child birth policy.
Zhang Zanning: "This argument is not justified. Whether or not
a policy is followed, the citizen’s rights should be equal.
In fact, it does not make sense.
If I was treated unfairly, someone else should be treated unfairly,
so that is just? This is ridiculous."
A Xinhua column indicated that the family planning fine
has accumulated more than 1.5 trillion yuan,
but is unaccounted for.
Despite Health and Family declared the fee will not be
abolished, the argument remains fierce.
Xinhua stated: Unveil the secret, keep it open and transparent,
it is the key to win trust.
But Henan activist Zhang Haitao does not believe there is
openness and transparency under a one-party dictatorship.
Zhang Haitao: "Communist family planning policy has
always been a violation of human rights. It is inhumane.
This policy has been going on for more than 30 years.
It has bred a bunch of people exploiting others
by manipulating the family planning policy.
This social maintenance fee collected tens of billions of yuan
a year. It is a severe burden to many families.
The money collected was not used in improving livelihood.
Therefore, more and more people demand the cancellation
of the social maintenance fee."
Wuxi resident Wang Caixia is a victim of the CCP family
planning policy.
She says that the reality of family planning policy is that
money allowed wealthy people to give extra births.
Wang Caixia: "The family planning fine is certainly wrong.
Those who are rich such as the movie stars, they can give
extra births, but ordinary people can’t. It is definitely wrong.
The institutional issues have created many injustices
in China today.
I became a handicap because of the policy. They even made up
false evidence to suppress the injustice.
We can’t do anything about it."
There are also many Internet discussions about the abolition
of social maintenance fee.
A netizen wrote: It is shameless to buy ‘the right to give birth.’
Another netizen stated: Since the day someone is born,
it is destined to fall in the trap to negotiate with all sorts
of questionable and unlawful administrative charges.
