Confluence New Party Representative Election Mr. Izumi and Mr. Edano Controversy over consumption tax and base issues September 9, 4:29
The National Democratic Party's Chairman Izumi, who is running for the representative elections of the Constitutional Democratic Party and the New Democratic Party such as the National Democratic Party, and the Constitutional Democratic Party's representative, Edano, appeared on an Internet program on the night of the 8th, over consumption tax and the base problem of Okinawa. We had a dispute.
Mr. Izumi, president of the National Democratic Party, said on the consumption tax, "While collecting about 400 trillion yen from the introduction, corporate tax and income tax were reduced by about 550 trillion yen, and eventually the national tax revenue decreased. Against this backdrop, it is now time to revisit it from the perspective that the gap has widened and has been fixed."
On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party representative, Edano, said, "We should do this with a package that reduces the consumption tax rate by combining income tax, especially "financial income taxation" and taxation on corporations with a lot of retained earnings. Increasing disposable income is the first priority.”
Regarding the plan to relocate the US military Futenma base in Okinawa, Izumi said, "For the United States, it is none other than one of the bases in the world that maximizes the problem. It is the Japanese government. If you can catch it, you can stop it, and you can conclude that you don't need a base."
In response to this, Mr. Edano said, "The Henoko relocation should not be done. The Hatoyama administration has expired in diplomatic negotiations, but it could not be done. After stopping the construction, he persisted with the United States. We need to negotiate hard."
The representative election of the confluent new party will be voted on on the 10th.
