AI-generated summary
The countdown to the Kaohsiung mayoral election was underway, and the candidates held a televised debate on the evening of the 30th, which aroused local communities and voters to pay close attention to finance and construction issues.
The countdown to the nine-in-one general election has entered. Kaohsiung mayoral candidates will hold a televised debate at 8pm today (30th). Lai Ruilong of the Democratic Progressive Party and Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang will compete on the same stage over their municipal vision. The Facebook community "Kaohsiung Lives Better" predicts that Lai Ruilong will ask Ke Zhien why he led the passage of financial planning laws that are unfavorable to Kaohsiung, widening the gap between the north and the south, and weakening Kaohsiung's finances. And Ke Zhien's answer will use the most distorted way to blame everything on the central government.
"Have a Better Life in Kaohsiung" stated on its Facebook page that in the past, politicians from a certain county or city had never been elected. Before the election, they would first amend the law to "teach" the city a lesson, and then brazenly say that they want to take power. Ke Zhien was the first. If he is elected, Kaohsiung people will be like obedient people who will kneel down after being slapped, which is very indicative.
"It's easier to live in Kaohsiung" Let me first review the "Ke Zhien version of the evil financial planning law". Simply put, it embezzles a large amount of central government money and distributes it to the localities, but mainly to the north:
1. The central government will lose all business tax, all land tax, and some income tax resources, and transfer nearly 400 billion to local governments. The local governments will allocate more than 400 billion more for overall distribution.
2. The problem is that Ke Zhien changed the overall distribution formula by removing factors such as area that are beneficial to Kaohsiung and changing it to a formula that is beneficial to the north. As a result, most of the excess was taken away by the north, and the gap between the north and the south widened significantly.
3. Originally, the central government would use planning subsidies to assist central and southern areas with insufficient infrastructure. Taipei has almost built the MRT, so it needs very few planning subsidies, while Kaohsiung has more needs.
4. However, due to the severe cuts in central government funding, the central government has no money, and planning subsidies have also been cut by about 200 billion. The most affected is Kaohsiung, which is undergoing multiple rapid transit projects.
5. The worst is about to come. Ke Zhien said in today's debate: (Deliberately hiding "I cut off the central government's 400 billion and gave most of the extra money to Taipei.") As long as the central government desperately borrows money, it will be better to give Kaohsiung a little more money. Therefore, the central government owes money, and the central government will pay it back.
"Kaohsiung has a better life" said that it is rare to see such a shameless politician, and there are indeed many people who believe Ke Zhien's nonsense. In the past few days, Bai Lan has started to say "it's the central government that cut Kaohsiung's budget" in local and closed groups. In order to break this bad distortion, we can only take advantage of these few hours to learn more about Ke Zhien's bad tricks.
