If you say "give people breathing room in their daily lives," it's not about consumption tax cuts or support money! It's about reducing the taxes collected from the citizens!

While this lawmaker is terrible, I'm also sick of the opposition parties trying to refuse deliberations under the pretext of accountability and resignation demands (they have no raison d'être).
