Komatta- monndayo Shohi-zei ~ Troublesome Consumption Tax (feat. Queming Queming)

Takaichi's LDP won a landslide victory in the February 2026 House of Representatives election. One of the focal points this time is the consumption tax. In April 1989, the consumption tax was introduced in Japan. I thought the consumption tax was an indirect tax. It seems that a ruling was made in 1990 that the consumption tax has nothing to do with ordinary consumers, but is a direct tax on businesses. When the consumption tax increases, export companies make profits, small businesses suffer losses, and the consumption tax increases when you hire employees. It's a strange system. Why not reconsider what the future of consumption tax should look like?
