How the god damn party ran around in circles, like those performing clowns that KICKED their own asses, to try and ENTERTAIN the people, and now, we get our, sizable (or maybe not!) TAX refund back to our own separate, bank accounts, and we’re all supposed to sing the song of gratitude toward how the DDP gave the money that was originally OURS back? Yeah uh, what are we, STUPID??? And maybe, we (collectively speaking), the people, ARE, stupid, who knows??? Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
In the evaluations of why they’d lost most of the mayoral posts in the country, the once most-proud value of “communications” is one of the key factors of why the DDP lost. And, the economy is the pandemic, will be one of the most important obstacle that the party needs to face this year, but, how is the $450 billion N.T.s that’s collected overboard in cash be used, got lost in the strong-effects of the “Giving out the Cash” remedies. What’s regrettable is, as the party in power and the party not in power solicited the populist way to resolve this, this first in Taiwanese history’s refunding the taxes back in cash to the people became, a microcosm of the development of Taiwanese democracy, which explains why Taiwan is still, at the lowest of the totem poles, a populist democracy.
The reason for the excessive taxes being collected this year, it’s due to the taxes paid by the people being overboard, due to inflation, causing the earnings of the shops to make more money, and the taxes these businesses pay, are also higher too, we’re the ones, paying for this, using the sums to lower the costs of the goods we need, to get the energy cost rebates, that may be more fitting to the values of the means of economics. but, the decisions to hand out the cash to all, there’s no open discussion, and it’s all done behind the curtains, where we can’t see, covering up the professional opinions with the politics in considerations.
From the higher up officials of national security meetings, the speech by the president on New Year’s, to Su’s announcing the cash refunds, but yesterday, the DDP announced that every citizen will get $6,000N.T.s., in order to save their own reputations, the DDP publicly pressured the higher up offices. But, when the KMT talked about this, they’d only mocked the DDP, “With our efficiency, ww can get the rebates out to everybody before the New Year’s”, like they’re, any, better, for the sole purpose, of open up, another, battlefield before the New Year’s.
As inflation hit us hard post-pandemic, all the business are, suffering, there’s no government agencies that zoomed in on the resolves of helping those industries on the verge of falling to nothing, but instead, the party “spread out the cash” first, to attract all of our, attentions.
I want that, DIRECT-DEPOSITED, PLEASE!!!

And the development of the events thus, is the results of the DDP’s collectively bribing the voters, and their own, short-sightedness. As nobody wants to be the bad guy, with the foresights, an eye on the futures, everybody wanted to use the cheapest ways, to suck up to the voters.
To the DDP, politically, if they don’t hand out the cash, they get a ZERO for their political performance; and, if they give out the cash, they will receive that goose egg for their policies; to the KMT, getting the cash out makes everybody happy, why would they want to bring troubles on their selves. The parties take what they needed, which turned this first cash refund in the country’s history into, “selling to the highest bidder” at the auctions. No matter if the small party’s calling out to how the collection of the taxes in excess had lost its functions, or how the money should be put to use to care for those who are truly in need, it all got lost, in the loudness of the, fireworks.
And so, to save their own skins, the DDP announced the refunds of our taxes back, instead of printing out those spending vouchers, which is an added cost to our (taxpayers’) money, and, they are only doing this, because they got cornered, because it’d been a hard year, with MERS-CoV’s, nth mutation, and people are already DEAD, with the past two years’ whatever we needed to defend ourselves, we didn’t get it provided FOR us in the time being, and, this is, the DDP’s, beginning to, make up for what they’d done, and we the people, AREN’T, buying it.
We are the ones paying the taxes, the government collected too much, and of course, the money should GET direct-deposited back, into, our own, accounts, and yet, the DDP ran around in circles, and circles, and circles (and maybe more circles, who knows???), then, the gavel comes down: We are refunding the TAXES back, in C-A-S-H, back to you, the people.
Case Closed!
