The creepiness of the sudden， mysterious Gori-promotion．．． “We will raise the consumption tax responsibly，” says LDP presidential election candidate Kobahawk Kobayashi， “In reality， he is the mastermind behind the 4 trillion yen handout．”
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced on the 14th that he will not run for re-election in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election scheduled for next month. There have been growing calls for Kishida to resign over political funding issues and other issues. Names such as Shigeru Ishiba, Shinjiro Koizumi, and Sanae Takaichi are already being mentioned as possible candidates for the next president, but for some reason there are also forces strangely pushing for the lesser known Takayuki Kobayashi. Some people may be feeling a strange unease at the way Kobayashi Takayuki, who has not received much attention until now, is being given nicknames like “Kobahawk” and being aggressively promoted. Kenichi Ogura, former editor-in-chief of the economic magazine President and author, provides commentary. (Omitted) ■Why did Kobayashi push ahead with a policy to inject trillions of yen in tax money into foreign-affiliated companies? Kobayashi should answer the fundamental question of why he pushed ahead with a policy to inject trillions of yen in tax money into foreign-affiliated companies. They also need to provide a responsible explanation of how the tax money that has been invested so far has actually been used and what results foreign semiconductor manufacturers have achieved. Kobayashi has continued to spend a lot of wasteful and harmful tax money up until now, but where on earth is this money coming from? The answer is obvious: it’s all taxpayers’ money. Kobayashi seems to have no hesitation in passing on the cost of his wasteful policies to the public. As evidence of this, he made the following statement at the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee on June 3, 2014: ■ Kobayashi, who successfully implemented the consumption tax increase in 2014, put a great strain on the lives of the people. “I personally have concerns about whether Japan’s finances will be able to hold out until 2020. In this context, I would like Minister Aso, Vice Minister Furukawa, and others to take responsibility and provide firm support for the further increase in the consumption tax rate, which the Prime Minister is expected to decide on within the year. ” This statement was akin to the boy who cried wolf, saying, “Japan may go bankrupt in 2020.” Based on this statement, Kobayashi successfully implemented the consumption tax increase in 2014. However, this resulted in a great strain on the lives of the people and strong deflationary pressure on the Japanese economy. This kind of behavior is very similar to the behavior of Democratic Party leader Naoto Kan in the past, when he made a fuss that “Japan will go bankrupt like Greece.” The consumption tax increase implemented by Kobayashi in 2014 dealt a major blow to the Japanese economy and caused consumption to slow. As a result of these irresponsible statements and policies, the people have been forced to bear a heavy burden. ■The correct way to use the money raised from the consumption tax hike Using taxpayers’ money should come with a lot of responsibility. However, Kobayashi acts as if he does not fully understand his responsibility. He rashly pushed ahead with a consumption tax hike without thinking about the consequences of the policy and who would be affected. This type of behavior will continue to be a major source of concern for the public. As we consider Japan’s future, we need to keep a close eye on the situation to ensure that such wasteful and irresponsible policies are not repeated. It is true that being a young politician does not give an election an advantage. In fact, when Shinji Ishimaru, the mayor of Aki-Takata, ran for the Tokyo gubernatorial election, he received many votes without putting forward any particularly notable policies. There is no denying that youth and freshness are powerful weapons in elections. However, this alone does not reveal the essence of the problem. Kobayashi told a big lie that “Japan will not survive unless we increase the consumption tax,” and he forced the consumption tax increase in 2014. However, behind the scenes, 3.9 trillion yen in tax money has been wasted, as if throwing the equivalent of 2% of the consumption tax down the drain. This money should ideally be returned to the people in the form of tax cuts, and there should be strict accountability for how it is spent. ■Considering Kobayashi’s wasteful use of tax money… Despite this, Kobayashi has continued to pour large amounts of tax money into wasteful policies without fulfilling his responsibilities. And what exactly are the young LDP lawmakers hoping to achieve by coming together to support him? Perhaps they are hoping for more subsidies to be handed out. What’s important is not just youth and innovation, but the content of the policies and what they will actually do for the people. Given Kobayashi’s history of wasteful spending of tax money, one wonders whether it is really a good idea to give him more power. The number of votes received in an election is not the only factor that determines a politician’s evaluation. The effectiveness of policies and sense of responsibility to the people should be questioned. (Source below) Published on 8/19 (Mon) 11:31.
It’s an unnatural move. I understand that he has a good career, but his character and abilities are unknown, yet the media is hyping him up too much. I wonder what Morinaga is thinking when he says that this person will become prime minister.
>>7 What is that all about??? Kobayashi has declared that if he becomes prime minister, he will use his power to spread the Financial Truth Cult, so it’s only natural that Morinaga would think that.
“I personally have concerns about whether Japan’s finances will be able to hold out until 2020. In this context, I would like Minister Aso, Vice Minister Furukawa, and others to take responsibility and provide firm support for the further increase in the consumption tax rate, which the Prime Minister is expected to decide on within the year. “ This is all at the mercy of the Ministry of Finance and the Japan Business Federation. Furthermore, he is supported by Tsubo and belongs to the Nikai faction. He’s the epitome of everything bad about the LDP.
It seems like they were preparing a lot of hard-pushing campaigns The sudden push started, so gross, so gross lol It reminds me of a certain Ishimaru hard-pushing campaign.
At his recent press conference, Isoko kept asking about the Unification Church, but what did he learn from Morikake? Even if they asked questions like that, it would only annoy the general public and ultimately benefit the LDP.
The unprecedented policy to combat low birth rates will begin in 2024, so it will be a few years before we know if it has been effective. Even if it ends up being a huge failure, it has only just begun. The system will begin in 2024, and the birth rate hasn’t even been calculated yet, so it’s absurd to assume it’s a failure.
>>30 Just be honest and say, “Young people are getting good jobs and their incomes are rising steadily, but I’m just an old man who eats everything up with no hope for the future, so I’m upset that Abe has ended deflation.” You’re the one who’s finished.
Also, the subsidy for TSMC is insurance in case the semiconductor supply and demand becomes tight again, and if measures are not taken just because the situation is not tight now, the same thing will happen again
Also, the subsidy for TSMC is up to 1.2 trillion yen >TSMC semiconductor factory completed, second factory construction also decided, government subsidy up to 1.2 trillion yen
He really trashed the old Democratic Party. He said he quit his job as a bureaucrat and became a politician because he was outraged by the Democratic Party’s bad governance and wanted to protect the lives of the people. And he said it was a much more decent government than the shitty LDP lol.
>>34 If you’re dissing Takayuki Kobayashi, it’s obvious that you’re an opposition supporter, but you should just hide it lol Well, I guess it’s the consensus of opposition supporters that the Constitutional Democratic Party leadership election is a rehash of the Democratic Party government, but I guess they don’t intend to win the general election.
If a win-win-win for the Ministry of Finance, the Keidanren, and the Unification Church is what Tsubo Hawk wants, then say so clearly, you anti-Japanese trash.
For the time being, this is the only person running, so the media coverage is biased towards this person, and if another candidate holds a press conference, the media will simply shift to that person.
>>45 That’s it It’s not like they’re pushing him or anything Ishiba will be holding a press conference on the 24th, so his weight will just increase this time.
Achievements of Kobayashi Chic (Tsubo Hawk) ▼In 2018, he sent a congratulatory telegram to the convention of the “Chiba Prefecture Peace Ambassador Council,” an organization related to the “former Unification Church.”▼In July 2021, he had a commemorative photo taken as a guest at a bicycle event held by an organization related to the “former Unification Church” in his hometown of Chiba. Most of the 80 participants were believers. In an interview with the Sekai Nippo newspaper, the official newspaper of the former Unification Church, in October 2021, he said, “We need a stable supply of semiconductors.”
>>52 Not only is he loyal to his mother, but he’s also loyal to the Ministry of Finance (where he came from) and the Japan Business Federation (raising the consumption tax). I think he’ll sacrifice the lives of the people and pursue politics for his own interest groups.
