I feel empty when I think about how so much money is deducted from people's money, even though they work without days off and sacrifice time with their families, and how it goes to certain places where politicians and bureaucrats are transferred to, and also to companies that are backed by the government and are siphoning public funds.

 

When I saw an article about the Olympics that said people were earning 200,000 yen a day just serving tea,

 

as the reality of how taxes are being unfairly skimmed off becomes clear,

 

the government's waste of tax money becomes outrageous.

 

This is not something that just started happening.

 

It's been said for a long time.

 

If you voted for the old Democratic Party because you thought the LDP was no good, you'd find it even worse, and it was called the nightmare of the old Democratic Party.

 

And now, with rising prices, the ruling party politics, the LDP/Komeito politics, are being called hellish politics.
