LONDON – Most rich countries now have millions of “working poor” – people whose jobs do not pay enough to keep them above the poverty line, and whose wages therefore have to be subsidized by the state. These subsidies take the form of tax credits.
伦敦—如今，大部分富裕国家都存在几百万“工作的穷人”——工作收入无法让他们生活在贫困线以上，因此必须领国家补贴的人。这些补贴以税收优惠的形式发放。
