Is increasing taxes a good way to improve public services?

I think increasing taxes is necessary to boost our country’s financial resources. People should bear the tax hike if the government improves public services.
Firstly, increasing taxes is necessary to boost Japan’s financial resources. Without increasing taxes, the government must curtail some existing public services or increase the amount of government bonds. However, if the government curtails some public services, those workers will lose their jobs. This may contribute to worsening the recession. If the government increases the bonds, people will worry about our future. Our country already has the largest amount of government bonds in the world. Government should not increase it more.
Secondly, people should support the government to reinforce public services because these are at the root of our life. These days, demands for welfare facilities and nursery schools are increasing because there are too few nursery schools and welfare facilities. If the number of these facilities increases, more people can contribute to the society because these facilities can help take care of their family during working hours. If more people are employed, tax revenue will gradually increase.
In conclusion, I believe increasing taxes is a good way to improve public services. People should support the government to implement these policies.

Is there enough emphasis on important issues in politics today?

In Japan, big political change happened last summer as a result of the election of House of Representatives. Now, politics are changing for the better because the condition of education is improving and our government is reducing unnecessary budgets.
Firstly, the government is considering education to be of great importance. In fact, the educational budget has been increased so the number of teachers has also increased. This makes students understand their curriculum easier and prevents trouble such as bulling on schools. Teachers can work as a team and students can have more individual feedback. Education is an important issue because this is at the root of our nation.
Secondly, the government is making efforts to curtail the unnecessary budgets. Japan has the largest amount of government bonds and this is a huge debt to all Japanese. Current government abolished some public benefit corporations. Budgets must now be justified. Politicians and civil servants have to consider if the way they spend their budgets is really a benefit for the majority.
In conclusion, I believe politics has enough emphasis on important issues as education and budgets. Political change was a trigger to this change so people should go to elections and vote. This is the way to ensure the important issues will always be addressed.
