html Consumer Price Index annual growth rate increased by 2.63% in September, hitting an 8-year high. The picture shows the anti-surge area of the store. (Photo from this newspaper) China Jingwei Network, November 20: According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network", prices on the island have soared, and the Comptroller General emphasized that this is not inflation . Kuomintang "Legislator" Li Guimin said yesterday that from Din Tai Fung and McDonald's to comprehensive increases, civilian snack bars are ready to move, but the DPP authorities have raised prices The increase in indicators is attributed to the low base period of last year and . Treating inflation as an illusion is simply ignorance, inaction, incompetence and indifference. The Tsai administration must return the NT$400 billion (NT$, the same below) in overtaxed taxes to the people to alleviate the suffering of the people.
Li Guimin pointed out at the "Legislative Yuan Meeting" yesterday that the annual growth rate of the consumer price index rose by 2.63% in September, an eight-year high, and even the annual growth rate of the wholesale price index (WPI) was as high as 14.78%. This has made the "opposition party" continue to call on the DPP authorities to face up to the problem of inflation and soaring prices.
Li Guimin criticized that the Tsai administration, because of its inadvertence, could not see that the price of chrysanthemum in the market was changing three times every three days, and because of its ignorance, inaction, incompetence, and insensitivity, it would only push the flat price plan in hypermarkets, thinking that putting a few discounted products would suppress prices, which is a false story.
People's Party "legislator" Qiu Chenyuan also criticized that the Affordable Price Zone treats the symptoms rather than the root cause and is more show than work. The DPP authorities should take an overall inventory of supply and demand issues and formulate supporting measures to stabilize prices .
Therefore, Li Guimin believes that in order to relieve public pressure, the Tsai authorities should return the excess taxes to the people. She explained that although the DPP authorities have raised basic wages, only the lowest wage earners and foreign workers have benefited. It is estimated that only about a million people have benefited. The increase in wages of other workers has obviously not kept up with prices, which is equivalent to a disguised wage cut. The result of reduced consumption power is that life becomes increasingly difficult.
Li Guimin emphasized that with the boom in the stock market and exports, the revenue of the DPP authorities from business tax, certificate tax, and inheritance tax have greatly exceeded expectations, and the overtax amount has reached 400 billion. Since it is obtained from the people, in the face of people who are in trouble due to the epidemic and inflation, it is of course necessary to return the money to the people. The method of "repaying taxes to the people" includes subsidizing nutritious school lunches, subsidizing water and electricity bills, and providing rent subsidies, etc., so that even if the people's wages do not change, they can at least get help from the "government" to deal with the pressure of inflation.
