An error in conservative government policy

Conservative political sentiment is expanding around the world as the new Cold War intensifies. Human psychology is path dependent, and the relationship between the state and the state is relativistic, so conservative political psychology is deepening. There will be a day when it will stop due to necessity, but it will be after a lot of sacrifices.

 

South Korea is no exception, bringing up the anti-communist issue again, and North Korea says it will strengthen its ideological armament. In particular, Korea's ruling party has come up with conservative economic policies without deep consideration, which is thought to have made blind and ideological judgments that do not fit the present time.

 

1) About tax cuts for the rich.

 

First of all, this argument implicitly assumes that employers will hire additional workers if they can afford it. But just because someone can afford to do something doesn't necessarily mean they do it. For example, you don't buy CDs of singers you don't like just because you can afford them.

One might say my ideological bias is that I quoted a leftist book. But if I hadn't had objective and neutral thinking, I would have sat on the sidelines to make automatic adjustments in the bad future.

 

I have described the problems of tax cuts for the rich a long time ago. I once mentioned the fact that President Reagan of the United States failed to implement anti-communist ideology and tax cuts on the rich in a set and why. Since the marginal consumption tendency of non-rich people is greater, the policy of supporting the poor has a much greater growth effect when considering the national economy as a whole.

2) Problems with working hours

 

A long time ago, there was a time when workers worked hard and wanted to buy color TV and refrigerators. Workers endured the pain of work by comparing economic income and the pain of work. These days, Korean workers try to work hard for a long time with all their might or never do such thing. Therefore, I think that there are not many people who want to work hard with the determination to die. And this issue will have the biggest political repercussions. It is likely to be the main culprit to show a bad evaluation of the conservative government in the future.

 

The sector that will most benefit from long-term work is the manufacturing sector, which has long been suffering from severe job shortages due to the long-term effects of harsh working conditions and low wages. Limiting working hours to 52 hours a week lowered the turnover rate, which was beneficial to companies in the long run. I have worked in manufacturing for a long time myself, and most of the workers avoided working long hours.

 

The bus industry, which is not a manufacturing industry but was conservative compared to other sectors, has begun to be shunned by workers due to long hours of work and low wages. There will be confusion due to the lack of bus drivers for a long time in the future. Although Korean buses are public goods, they are privatized, so even management owners do not make profits, so the burden of profits was passed on to bus drivers, and working conditions were very severe.

 

3) a low birth problem

 

Many advanced countries have experienced low birth rates, but Korea has a faster and steeper birth rate. There are reasons for this that the social structure is vertical, competitive, and unhealthy.

 

In other words, Korean society is vertically career-oriented, neighbors and classmates are rivals, and healthy workers are neglected. And everyone is treated dearly if they invest in real estate and live rich. So Korea is becoming hell. It is not a social system to actively encourage growing children. Moreover, the tension between the two Koreas is not a good environment to raise children. I know the issue of the division of South and North Korea well because I have suffered myself. I think it is the most annoying problem at the bottom of the consciousness of the people of the two Koreas.

 

We should not distinguish between conservatives and progressives, but strive for prosperity. Ideology and political strife cost a lot of opportunity.
