As my National Health, City-Prefectural, Self-employment taxes and National Pension payments hit new highs every year.

I really wish they would use our massive amounts of tax money to keep these painful expenses down instead of paying trillion of yen for weaponry.

Never even knew social security existed here .

I think it's time to restore the national budget, which has been increased since the 3/11 disaster.

We need to stop providing welfare benefits to foreigners and increase taxes to fund a defense budget that can repel threats from enemy countries such as China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea. Rather than reducing defense spending, we should reduce social security spending first.

We are experiencing rising oil prices, a weak yen, and inflation, so we hope the next prime minister will deal with these issues.

There are also many other issues, such as a declining birthrate, an aging society, and security problems, so we need appropriate budget allocations and direct support such as subsidies.

We need to stop providing welfare benefits to foreigners

Why do you think Japan needs to stop providing welfare benefits to taxpaying foreigners?

Welfare benefits are only provided to people entitled to them.

Do you know what welfare is? For example, in America, it's called a green card?

The Supreme Court has ruled that it is a right only for Japanese nationals, but it is still being paid to foreigners, mainly Chinese and Koreans, which has become a problem.

Around one-fifth of all Korean households in Japan should be receiving welfare.

No matter how much tax foreigners pay, they are not entitled to receive welfare. That is the law.
