Dear Mr Prime Minister:
I believe it is time for you to heed some very helpful advice on the peril of the Japanese economy. In a few short months, either Japan will enter into a full-blown economic crisis or it will stumble for the next decade. And so, it is with great pleasure and excitement that I give you my advice on helping the country recover from its current economic troubles.
First, build more highways and bridges. Don't listen to anyone else. Without any roads or bridges the entire country will grind to a complete halt. The country actually needs more super-highways. A poor infrastructure will doom the country. Trust me - look at the USA.
Second, repeal all forms of taxes immediately. No person is responsible for paying any national or residential taxes anymore. Instead, increase the sales tax to 20% immediately. For the bottom 20% of wage earners, give them a 1,000,000 yen refundable tax credit. For families of four or more, give them a fully tax refundable tax credit of 3,000,000 yen. This should help them pay for the 20% VAT.
Third, open up the immigration policy and allow more people in the country. I recommend allowing 100,000 foreigners to immigrate per year for the first 3 years. And after that increase the quota to 500,000 per year. Instead of making them learn Japanese, institute a new education policy where English becomes the official second language of the country.
And last, build up a stronger military and be prepared for all enemies both foreign and domestic who wish to do harm to the country.
That's it. Listen to my advice and act on it. Disregard it and watch the country fail.
Sincerely,
Foreigner in Japan
