A comment made by LDP Policy Research Council Chairman Itsunori Onodera that “take-home pay will increase” became a trending word on x (formerly Twitter) on the 23rd and became a trending topic. On an NHK program on the 22nd, Onodera debated lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties about the “1.03 million yen barrier” that triggers income tax. In the report, they pointed out that if the tax-free limit were raised to 1.78 million yen as requested by the Democratic Party for the People, national and local government revenues are expected to decrease by 7 to 8 trillion yen, and demanded that the necessary financial resources be shown to compensate. Onodera also stated that if the tax rate were raised to 1.78 million yen, the benefit would be greater for households with an annual income of 20 million yen or more, and that “take-home pay would increase.” He expressed concern that the plan would not lead to any economic stimulus measures. The video of this statement has gone viral on the Internet, with comments such as, “So that’s what he really thinks,” “So it’s bad if take-home pay increases?”, “What does ‘take-home pay for high-income earners will increase’ mean? Is there a problem with it increasing?”, “When I came across the phrase ‘the take-home pay of the people will increase’ I felt like the world was coming to an end,” and “What does it mean that take-home pay will ‘increase’? ‘It’s a problem if the people get rich’ sounds like something a villain would say, in what world is this…?” Sponichi Delivered on Monday, December 23rd at 12:55pm.
>>11 Of course not. All households will see an increase in take-home pay. That means consumption will increase by that amount, and even if some of the money goes into savings, it’s money that should have been saved a long time ago.
Go to a good university and get a job at a good company. That way, you’ll be secure for life thanks to the seniority system. Try your hardest every day. Your efforts will definitely be rewarded.
Well, I guess this is what the LDP and companies really think. They don’t want to increase their take-home pay. There’s a lot of hostility from the LDP and companies towards those who keep clamoring for wage increases.
Only buy cheap stuff Don’t buy new stuff Let’s buy a house because rent is a waste All the money I save will be put into savings No investing or anything like that because the fees are stupid.
I mean, if the wages of the poor are raised, those who earn over 20 million yen will gain, that means the current system has been exploiting people with a 10-fold disparity, right? We should throw in jail those who have created this system!
I don’t want the people’s income to increase. The people are poor and are puppets of the government. By the Party for Increasing Taxes on Secret Funds.
Isn’t it a good thing if people who earn over 20 million yen get an increase in their take-home pay…? They’ll spend the extra money, and the economy will improve And that means people with lower incomes will also get an increase in their take-home pay.
>>41 With the current system being exploitative and becoming nonexistent, it’s only natural to consider the economic balance If things stay like this, no matter how much we try, it’s never going to work out.
