I think that it is necessary to tax hike to a certain extent, but it is better to reduce the expenditure on health insurance and to revise the tax system so that the people can asset management by investment etc. to prepare themselves for the future. I think it is more important.
What is the situation in your country? Is it similar to Japan? Which do you prefer the country with a high consumption tax and high welfare, or low tax and low welfare?
Regarding Europe and the EU member states, taxes support efficiently most part of the social services offered by the State. That’s why in some countries, mostly scandinavian, welfare is excellent and taxes are high. On the contrary, southern countries cannot deal with welfare expenditure even though taxes are also high. This means that modern states tax their people in a way that doesn’t correspond to a high quality welfare system. Can we agree that taxation and welfare have an irrelevant liaison? Then why don’t we pay more attention to projects that value the quality of the provided services? Those that don't wait from any government to implement the right measures but takes a proactive stances and forms an ecosystem where future societies can thrive. Fetchai, medicohealth, hinounou etc. offer solutions to almost all the problems of the healthcare sector. My point is: when will states start to adopt solutions that can be found in the cryptoworld without any further cost for the citizens?
