Chapter 49 Cure "economic illiteracy" through tax reform
A long time ago, I earnestly persuaded the government to reform the tax system.The current government only knows to fill the fiscal deficit by raising the consumption tax. This untimely policy can only make the living standards of the Japanese people decline day by day.
Under the tide of global economic integration, if the Japanese government only knows about tax increases, then Japan is bound to decline.The tax increase route pursued by the current government and the Ministry of Finance is also their route towards "IQ decline".
In my opinion, only "tax cuts" are feasible.
Only "tax reduction" is a constructive proposal, which can cure the "economic illiteracy" of the Japanese, and is actually the best way to change the tax system.For details, see the book "Instant Combat Power", and I will briefly talk about it here.
First of all, a fundamental change must be made to the taxation system, and the asset taxation system should first undergo a fundamental change.Referring to the tax systems of the Gelug-Saxon countries mentioned above, the "inheritance tax" was abolished on the basis of the "property tax".What would happen if Japan did this?
Simply put, if a 1% asset tax is imposed on 1,500 trillion yen of national personal property, 15 trillion yen of tax money will enter the national treasury.Next, there are fixed assets and real estate worth 2,000 trillion yen. If these are taxed, there will be another 20 trillion yen in taxes. These two items will add up to 35 trillion yen in taxes. It is now more than half of the national budget.
Thus taxes are imposed on property, and not on circulation.For example, personal income and corporate interests are not taxed.
After that, the inheritance tax will be abolished.After children inherit their parents' estate, it is better to tax assets like their parents.In short, although the inheritance tax was suddenly abolished, the tax collected from the heirs was not reduced.The current practice of imposing inheritance tax is destroying the continuity of society and should be abolished.
Parents leave their property to their children. In order to prevent them from sitting on nothing, they must be educated on asset management since childhood.If the child grows up and cannot manage property well, parents will feel worried, and if they study at this time, the meaning of learning may have changed a lot.Finally, there is another collection system that must be canceled as soon as possible, that is, it is aimed at the working class that has never existed in other countries.After the adjustment at the end of 2008, this source collection system has become more cumbersome, so that many Japanese do not even know the total amount of their taxes.Self-employed people are of course a different matter, but the taxes of the working class are indeed not paid by themselves.
In short, this source collection system can be regarded as the number one foolish policy in the world. Its implementation forces the Japanese people to become indifferent to taxation, making them unable to think about problems, and they do not care about the composition and distribution of tax funds. , Once there is a tax increase, they will only say "No" immediately.
Once the system of expropriation at source is abolished, taxpayers can only do it themselves.This will lead to national thinking about the tax system. When they realize that they know nothing about savings, investment, and asset management, they will start to study financial knowledge seriously.
