Raising Tax?

Consumption tax in Japan is 5%.

This will cause problems in the future because the birthrate is very low, and there is an economic recession with a job crisis.

People in Denmark pay 50% tax.

Japan needs to raise tax. Should they raise the consumption tax?

  7. I don't think raising tax is good because people won't understand what it is for. In the future I think I'd like to live in Denmark. Shiori
