Can you elaborate on this "mandatory elderly tax"? I've never heard of such a thing.
- emanuer 15y agoI choose to mention the nickname Japanese have for this tax. Really it is the municipal-tax which is either 7% (I think) of the income, or minimum of 180 USD/month (in my area, in Tokyo it is higher). The tax is used for the local infrastructure, but has risen dramatically in the past years to cover the costs of pensions. Therefor it got the nickname "elderly tax".
- pagekalisedown 15y agoWouldn't massive immigration solve the problem very rapidly? Edit: Never mind. I just saw your third edit.
